Scrolling through lists (using the touchscreen) on ALL touch screen devices is, in my opinion, rubbish.
For example, I often find that I am accidentally selecting images in the Photos viewer and dialing numbers when scrolling the call log.
By far the worst offender is the Applications list: going through the list is a complete pain.
Maybe touchscreen devices aren't for me ;)
Maybe so. But as the N900 has a keyboard, I propose the hardware arrow keys are enabled across all applications.
Kinetic scrolling is a really clever way to get quickly through a long list. But if you're touching the screen, it is too easy to accidentally select the wrong item, or miss the thing you were looking for and have to go back up the list again, and go too far again, then have to go down again ...
