The one of the two things that i hate about my nokia n900 is that it cannot copy contacts from phone memory to sim card, even dumbest fones in the market can do very easily. please develepors make some app or whatever possible to add this basic functionality.
The other thing that i keep bragging about is filthy 3 column app menu in potrait mode. can we change that to 4?
i dont want to be forced to answer a text when im busy doing something else.
Nothing stops you hitting Cancel if you don't want to deal with the new SMS right away.
This is how my old Palm did it. Upon receiving an SMS, a dialog popped up with the sender's details, the SMS text and Reply, Cancel and Delete buttons. Reply would bring you to the communication thread with that sender. Cancel and Delete closed the dialog and returned to whatever you were doing before. Not pressing anything until the screen timed out meant the dialog was still there the next time you turned the screen on. Receiving another SMS while an unaswered dialog was on the screen would change the dialog to something like "2 messages received". Obviously the senders' details, SMS text and the Reply button were no longer applicable and disappeared.
I found this interface the most intuitive of all phones I have ever used, before or since, but of course YMMV. For me, SMS is the most important method of communication with a mobile phone and the reason for having a mobile phone in the first place.
Clicking on the notification is already possible. The SMS UI comes up at once.
That's hardly the same thing. Consider this use case. I am at a meeting, on a noisy bus with the pnone in the pocket... whatever. In short, I miss the SMS notification. Later, I notice a flashing blue LED. Great, I think, I have a message. At this point, it takes three clicks to get to read it instead of zero clicks as per my post above.

Implement auto text reflow to microb and make the best maemo browser even better.
Constantly scrolling left and right to read zoomed in pages is PITA.
I find MicroB fine without this, if the site is designed well. MicroB seems to be the only mobile browser not to ignore "device-width" meta tags and multiple css files with "handheld" tags.
Opera has this feature and while it works great for articles of text it will break some css layouts and margins to do so making the site look broken.
