[ltalis]

LOL, Well bring it on for Canada Day tomorrow! I dont even have the phone yet, waiting for a FW or 2 and price to go down a bit.

you are one patient consumer..

Thanks Blaxx!
And Italis, its trying to figure out how I'm going to hide this purchase from the wife! She doesnt get the cell phone obsession.

i want kinetic scrolling throughout.

I don't. The way Nokia implements any kind of animation is just abysmal. Choppy, laggy, and very unresponsive... either their code is terrible or the processing power in their phones aren't nearly up to par to handle smooth animations.

have you even used the n97? kinetic scrolling works beautifully in the browser, but i would also like to see it implemented throughout; especially in contacts

I would like to see "destinations" work consistently for me. It doesnt work at all for me in Nokia Messaging, and it only seems to work at home and office one for internet and widgets. It will not automatically detect the wifi at my second office. I can't wait for psiloc connect. Worked awesome on E71.

Yeah, don't know what he's talking about, the kinetics in the browser and derivatives such as the widgets and Ovi is great. Stops on a dime without a chop in sight.

I wouldn't mind seeing it throughout, but not nearly on the top of my request list.

That's because it's not supposed to work in Nokia Messaging. After the first beta version of Nokia Email, the option to choose your access point was removed and the application will always use packet data.

The latest changelog looks good but the keylock/backlight bug is not listed.
I hope we will see a fix for that annoying situation as well.

Also, I really need the Flashlite 3.1 update.

Kinetic works top notch on 5800 with gravity and the photo browser. It will be just fine when they add it to the OS.

Yeah it was.

"-Partial fix no display backlight illumination when unlocking lock-key"

At least 'partially'

It might be more complicated than we think it is. The good news is that they are aware of the problem and are trying to fix it.

The version I am using still lets me choose the access point:
Options - Tools - Settings -General - Service Info - Access Point
