A more efficient way to read email in Modest...

Posted on 2009-12-09 19:11 UTC by Tim Samoff. Status: Under consideration, Categories: User Experience.

A typical use-case for email clients is to order emails from newest (at the top) to oldest (at the bottom). Modest allows emails to be ordered this way as well. But, if you scroll to an older email (further down the list than the newest email), read an email, and then tap the delete button, the next email that loads is an even older email (i.e., the one that is below the one that was just read). Likewise, tapping the left arrow button in an email View (which users might normally presume would take them "back," actually takes them forward; using the right arrow button, takes them back. This functionality seems backwards (and, therefore, broken).

 

Photos - add Tags to Images causes File Date and Time changes on Filesystem

The Tags you can add to Images are stored in the Imagefiles itself. Actually, that causes, every changes on the Tagcloud the timestamp of the file is updated on the filesystem.

Multiple phone lines via separate phones

Posted on 2009-12-19 16:44 UTC by . Status: Under consideration, Categories: User Experience.

Listening to music on the N900 is a good experience: system is smart enough to pause playback when a call comes in and restart it once it ends plus there is no need to don the headset since you already have it on.

No such luck with a secondary phone, for example the office mobile: all stopping/starting/changing must be handled manually by the user.

It would be nice to have the N900 act as a switchboard of sorts.
