You can also consider Skype or some different sort of communication. Seems this one is rather slow for you.

The Touch Screen UI design has the following goals:
* 1-2 taps for most frequent activities
* Finger taps -- no stylus required
* Familiar (to desktop users) where possible

What's this thing I have then? It sure is a mobile PC, and it sure has N800 printed on it), WebKit, Gecko, SSH.... you could start 34 threads with all this.
All I wanted to say is that I see nothing in Fennec that is specifically designed for mobile use (whatever "mobile use" may be in this context).
I see a browser with basically no UI at all that requires an explanation on how to use the most basic functions (back, enter URI, ...).
I can understand which type of users wants such a browser. And I predict that these users may eventually want such a browser on their desktops, too, because why they want it has nothing to do with mobile use.
Oh, and I don't like it, because it doesn't meet my demands.
(Which isn't a crime, nobody said it was made specifically for me.)

Back in the 90s we had some of the above restrictions but we usually simply used thin clients, and we had synchronisation with LDAP. Microsoft won the browser war and didn't implement LDAP in their browser.
Technically, there are three determinate states the cat could be in: Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.
