these are some of the uses that professionals (and chatters) might want to use. But let's not forget on how it could help us type faster in general.

these may seem like saving a letter here and a letter there, but it really shows when you begin to notice your own typing and how you can save time just by typing Sa and have it change to Samantha. or CUS changes to See you soon. These are all ways that will help the user finish what they're doing on their phone FASTER and save time, battery life, and gets you doing what you need to do sooner.

From photographs of the device it appears that similar functionality can be provided for left handed users by rotating what is displayed on the screen 180 degrees and using the device 'upside-down'. That is the user holds the device in his/her free hand (right hand for left handed person) with the stylus in their writing hand (left for left handed person).

Although the placement of the navigation buttons means that the left-handed person will not be using the device exactly as if it were designed for a left-handed person (instead of a right handed person) it seems to be an excellent compromise.

But since the n900 is now also a phone but keeping its computer like roots, how about adding custom power management or power management rules like you see on laptops (regardless of operating system). Maybe we can have modes like:

Phone Mode: All background apps are killed, wifi off, GPS off, bluetooth off, screen lowest brighting setting possible. The idea of course being saving all the remaining battery power for just pure phone/sms usage.

Regular/Full: As it is now

Music Mode: Like phone mode but with a music app running. For those who are playing music and still want to take phone calls.

Custom: User decides what to turn off, what to keep on, etc..Ideally have a few saveable custom pre-sets that are nameable.

I know the n900 has something like this from watching videos and I think somewhere I read on Maemo Talk.

Granted you could do something like this right now with a script on the n700/n800/n810 if you knew how to kill processes, set volume, and set brightness. But I was thinking a more GUI friendly way for those who don't want to mess with scripts and for newcomers who may not know how to script at all. Ideally something with easily manipulable power settings (sliders) and checkboxes. The other issue is killing processes with a killall command is dirty, and won't save documents if you happened to be writing something or downloading a file.

Again I apolgize if this feature already exists or has been posted already on here.

Edit: Trying to figure out how to close this.
