I wonder why MMS is so useful?? You can send pics through email too...so what's the big deal?? Because it's more easier?? Because it send right away?? Because when someone open it ..it shows the picture right away???

EDIT: actually aforementioned reason is the only reason I will miss MMS on N900...

Not everyone I call, or every call I make, are going to be contacts in my address book. In fact, because I will use it for my job, and as my only device (hopefully anyway), MOST phone calls will be to people who are NOT in my address book. I certainly don't want to add every Tom, Dick, and Harry I need to call to my address book to make it easy to call.
Plus, in order to start typing, you have to open the soft keyboard, or, open the slider, those are extra steps that are generally not needed to make a phone call.
To me, there should have been a hardware key or soft key always present to be able to make a call.

Wouldn't that just be turning the phone to portrait mode then (I think it automatically opens up to the dialer/phone app).

To call someone you can do:
- Open the Phone app.
- Rotate the phone if launch on rotate is turned on.
- Press power key, tap Phone button.
- Click on a contact in your Contact book, select Call.
When you open phone through any other means other than through clicking on a contact, you have two buttons at the top... one for going to a dialing pad to call anyone you choose and a second button for heading to your contact list.
Hit the Dialing Pad button and there you go... phone buttons all there for you to type away on. It's very simple, really. No, you don't need to add everyone to your contact list first. No, you don't need the keyboard open either.

this sounds complicated, is there a phone that just has a giant picture of a phone i can press, and at most 1 physical button, this way i won't be confused

Though that does bring up a good question. If Nokia intends for the switch to portrait mode to trigger phone application to be the main way of calling. Once everyone starts introducing portrait apps wouldn't that be problematic? (if you kept the option for portrait mode = phone on) Thus why it would also take Nokia awhile to figure out just what to do with supporting automatic portrait mode for the operating system and applications in general. Besides the press power key then telephone, it seems the portrait mode activation is the only single step phone launch method.
Unless Nokia can detect the amount of force. Then say a quick switch to portrait orientation would activate phone. While a slow rotation to portrait orientation would just keep portrait mode of whatever application you are using.

my understanding is that the dialer autolaunch only happens on rotation if the focus is on the "desktop"...
