Yes there is the other logic. But we are not helicopter pilots, and our device has no buttons, so we can focus on the window solely, no problem.
That is why taking the the application as orientation is the best solution.
Like a few others have mentioned here, I too like to read in bed, and I prefer keeping the same logic to close browser windows as I would be sitting straight up and have been used to from day 1.
It strikes me that they would change their already clever interface design.
For example I love how the default browser will not rotate to portret when the Nokia logo is down. That is great design.
Firefox Mobile keeps rotating. Wrong, useless.
A Palm Pre 3 keeps rotating all the time, lock not to be found, impossible to read from bed. Out it went!

Yeah I agree, you mean swiping from the left = going back, swiping from right = move to background, top = close, bottom = something else, that kind of a deal?
whenever in a menu structure, swipe from right to left (or configurable) means back one menu level.
Maybe also for browsing. I now use open in new window more efficiently than the browser back button.
I miss the simple logic of tapping in the blurred area to go back, it worked from day 1 on the N900, no need to read a manual.

One last thing I forgot... there is a Starhub brand on the lockscreen. Pretty annoying and may have a small effect on battery life.

That isn't to say you didn't manage to damage the 'brain' when cutting it down. Just not because of the suggested reason. There are plenty of us who have cut down the larger style very successfully for the N9

hi 2 all, joining this forum since few days (my engl may sound strange sometimes, i'm french, be fair about it )
I'm really seduced by the device, design, software, no surprises, i took time to compare tests and reviews windows phone 7 and meego, the largest screen, hugest storage (16go without micro sd is a joke as only option for a first class or competitive smartphone in 2011). I come from N8 and Symbian Anna, liked it with late updates, tried android and didnt liked it much, laggy and cheap ugly, many bugs etc.
Well, wanted a blue 64go, doesnt exist, already quite HARD and f***in expensive to buy a simple 16go N9 in France as not officialy available, but finaly go it, black 64go and nevermind the color as the blue softcover is perfect to have a blue one
I just worry about one thing....the battery ....
Was really surprised to see har quick its getting low, got the battery app, sometimes with just swiping and browsing 5mn, u can see % geting low real fast , i checked some forums, many people seemed to have power and battery issues, trying this and that (i saw many time the "smartsearch' named for the battery issue).
I red this topic and checked a few posts about that , then ok i try it (2g, synchr every hour or 30mn, medium lightning, cancel the automatic save power) and i will see.
I dont feel good anyways about the battery..., even with all those seetings (and i mean why buying a so high-tech and cool smartphone if its to use it as a limited device?) my N9 is 90% afer one hour of mostly idle and clock screensaver, with maybe 10/15mn checking apps, swiping, browsing....and my N8 is 88% after 6 hours with screensaver and idle and few same 10/15mn using it.
I really hesitate about whats going on, is it the N9 naturally need more power or something's wrong about it, that's disapointing and i hesitate to go to a nokia care after a few days more or call the shop to try to change it...(and as i said its not available in france so it will take time or it will be hard to get support here...)

- PhoneAndPhone.
- Auchan.

Give the battery some time. Also, if you really want to squeeze the battery out of it, consider just going with GSM. For me its ridicolously fast, I guess thats because of the signal reception in the N9 giving higher speeds on edge than the competitors.
I run it on edge all the time, and the battery lasts me a couple of days with a few hours of reading ebooks, few hours of music, and general use (calls, sms, twitter plus rss feeds on homescreen refreshed every 30 mins).
Email really screws the battery from what ive heard, i myself dont use email sync, preferring to sync manually.

p.s. it's nothing to do with swipemanager - all that does is change a config file - the closing orientation logic is built into the Harmattan window manager
