Considering the size of cell phones and the size of a mans finger it seems like an awful lot of wasted real estate space on the screen to have to interact with two fingers.
From what I understand (I have a n900 so I don't really care about these things ) it's most useful with virtual keyboards since you don't have to lift your previous finger off the key completely before pressing the next one. I believe this means you can type a lot quicker.

BTW, my wife will be getting an X10 on Thursday on T-mobile UK so I'll have a play and add my opinion to the thread as well
