I voted for it the bug.

I only got my N900 yesterday and this has to be the most annoying feature of the whole system.

I have been using a Nokia N810 for the past 12 months and bought the N900 because I thought it sounded like a great improvement. As yet I am unsure whether I am happy with the N900 or not. The status bar no longer allows me to check how long the battery will last or allows me to change the brightness of the screen, the scroll bars have vanished and so has the ability to set the WiFi to disconnect if the network connection isn't in use (to save battery power).

To be honest I can't see any reason for any of those changes at all, they are a retrograde step and haven't been replaced with anything useful. I also find the windowing system less user friendly. It would be nice to have a Maemo4 style interface option.

Currently the N900 simply isn't the N810 beater that I thought it would be.

i think the reason why such things make it into a final product is that user interfaces these days aren't designed for users and their 100000 different use cases. user interfaces are designed for so-called tech journalists and bloggers who only have one single use case: play with the device for 15 minutes, then write a review. these people don't know what to look for in high end phones, because the most sophisticated consumer electronics product they ever used in their whole lives was a game console attached to mother's TV.
In short - user interfaces are designed to be like the iphone.
