Alright, I came up with first improvement idea. The download system seriously needs a queue
Doesn't work too bad for me in the mean time while they develop something

xploder doesn't seem to have sound and is a bit laggy, but looks like a fun concept with a need for a little tweak :-)

I just opened Pendulum and banner and watched them both play out at the same time in task view...
I am so glad I got this phone.

I like the way you can browse the store on the web and have it send an sms to your phone with a direct link to an app you want. Then on the phone you can to click on it, login (leave a browser open so the cookie remains for the next one), then download, then wait for app manager to install it.
Frankly I realized this would take a while to check out all the 10+ apps I wanted to, so I ended up doing the following (in case anyone is interested)
1) using Modify Headers extension in Firefox on desktop changed my User-Agent to the N900 one (found easily on various sites)
2) Use that to make ovi store think my desktop is a N900, so it gave me the Download link
3) Downloaded all the .install files for all the apps still on the desktop, then opened them up in a text editor to get the package names
4) Finally pasted all of those in an root ssh session to the phone, in apt-get install <package1> <package2> <package3> etc
5) Took 2 minutes or so to download and install 10 apps including big themes.
I wonder if there's an easier way to select many apps for installation that I missed rather than go through all this.
Sidenote, rootfs is full again
You should be aware that apt-get stores the downloaded debs at (note, the application manager doesn't):
/var/cache/apt/archives/
It's safe to clean them after installation either by
rm /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
or (simply)
apt-get clean
This should free some space if you haven't done it already.

How do you access the store? I updated and have the new pretty store interface, but see none of the games or the snow ball 
I tried going straight to the store via the web, but still says "coming soon".
