Fully support this.

how about 7 segment week display

flick up for last week
flick down for next week
flick left for last month
flick right for next month

double tap to drill to that day and times
then similar control

flick up to scroll time hour prev
flick down to scroll time next hour
flick left for yesterday times
flick right for tomorrow times

the idea was to get rid of flicking ( I know the rolodex-style idea I posted is the same but all others aren't)

threads merged with 5 posts from "Intelligent" Date Picker

https://maemo.org/community/brainsto...ew-in_maemo_5/ contains one solution already in the initial proposal. Wouldn't be better to leave in the proposal the exposition of the problem and propose the calendar view as one solution?

Couldn't agree more and voted brainstorms. I would argue that the second brainstorm should probably be a "solution" for OP's brainstorm. Two different BrS => more fragmentation => less chance of Nokia taking notice and things happening...

Could someone possibly look into merging them?

• OP's brainstorm
• Related proposal

(oops, I guess great minds think alike as this is mentioned a couple of times already - sorry, will remember to read full thread next time before posting)

Since the N900 has a keyboard, it should also be possible to select the date with it: for "distant dates", it can be faster.

Agreed.

Is it possible for Nokia to provide just a hook so that the community can provide alternative date / time pickers. Then users can install what works best for them.
