An idea: how about writing an application that makes .desktop files for all of the contacts you've favourited and places them in the application launcher folder?
It could even update the icon based on availability status.
As with the N900, we as the community have the opportunity of making the device work the way we want

Man mikecomputing you should really drink a Valium milkshake. I'd be very surprised if Elop didn't want the N9 to succeed; they've spent a lot of money on R&D for it, why would they not attempt to make a profit?
And as we know several people has leaved the company. I guess there only is wp7 people left at Nokia board atm...

But they certainly don't give a crap about open source solutions, open development models, etc. They just want to make lots of money and compete with other providers.

Here are the first glimpses of the terminal I will be using with stylus-free Harmattan devices:
That's 83 keys when you include the cyan and magenta swipes.
73 columns for your reading pleasure. And don't forget, there are 54 more pixels still to come.
I'll be retiring my stylus terminal that has served me well for 3 years.

Swipe up for capital, swipe left for upper-left (cyan) character, swipe down for lower-right (magenta) character.

It does not look like a fat phone and it does not feel like a fat phone, which is really all that should matter.
Sure, the GS2 and similar phones may be slimmer, but they are also much wider and higher, which makes it actually worse for ergonomics. Not to mention the hard edges.
This is one more case where specs simply don't tell the full story. Don't judge it before you see it (or at least trust those who have).
The N9 directly compares to the iPhone 4 form factor, but beats it both in comfort and the capabilities of the components it manages to pack into it (most significantly the huge screen). Apple may be able to match this again with their next device (I'd expect nothing less), but let's talk about that when they actually do so.
