I recently upgraded my N800 (US) from OS2007 to OS2008. I have had several issues since the upgrade which for clarity I will post in separate threads.

I have found that it is near impossible to select the application to move it - i.e, when I click somewhere on it to drag it on the desktop, it either ´selects´ the option that I have clicked, or does absolutely nothing. I just cant seem to select the app and drag it. As a result, I have removed all of the apps from the desktop as they are all on top of each other. Has anyone else had difficulties in repositioning the desktop applications?

Interestingly enough, (when I did have an application on the desktop) I found that on random occasions it would move itself when I rebooted, or turned the screen back on (after a time out).

Sounds like you're trying to select then drag. It's supposed to be just drag. Works better with the stylus, but it's a royal pain no matter what.

Thanks Benson, I am definately dragging and not selecting, then dragging - I wasnt very clear with my post.

Oddly enough, I find that I have better luck when trying to drag with my finger rather than the stylus - although the precision of my fat fingers doesnt end up putting the app where I want it!!

I have been having this problem since day one. What really makes me mad is that I can't lock my apps in place. I heard that was an option in OS2007. Why did they remove it? That's one option I would absolutely LOVE to have!

Yes, I need lock too. You spent minutes arranging things. Then you are done and finally start using them, like starting web radio and *bang* everything messed up again...

Anyone knows if the Web shortcut can be resized to fit a given picture ? It's much smaller in 2008 than in 2005/2006/2007, and my existing one gets cropped...

I cannot understand why Nokia chose to abandon the lock function for the home applets under OS2008 either. Hopefully they will bring back the lock function in the next release. Maybe there is another way to accomplish this...?
