This is iritating indeed. I don't know about you guys here, but i really rarely even use zoom in the N900 browser and when i do it's always circular zoom or double tap. I want to keep the volume rocker for the media.

BTW, qwerty12, how old are you? You are one wise cat, I have to say. You deserve a massive check from Nokia.

Rather anal - true - but you do gain the ability to have the volume keys used for manipulating volume all the time, with also being able to selectively enable applications to use the buttons in whatever manner they may choose to do so.

QWERT12, that is exactly the type of info I like to learn. I'd really like to do a Q&A with you for MF once I can get time. You bring back the old Symbian hacking days for me. Feel free to stop by and school us Freaks anytime.

I dont see the point to it though :S
Why would you create a product that maybe 2% of the population are happy with? If they want to waste money and time, go ahead. I'm just implying that Nokia should look in a different horizont. You can still make it geeky but at the same time usable and fun for other people. Its like making a car with 3 wheels, for people who can "adapt" to those circumstances. But the people who could control a car with 3 wheels aren't enough, for Nokia to make a future out of it.
So make a car with 5 wheels!
I hope touch zoom is added soon. Then again, I hope we get Pic Say. Great image viewer and edit tool on Android.
