Anonymous, 23 Jul 2010There is nothing wrong for you to want more home screen.
... moreI agree with you 100%
Like I said before the only reason why Android has so many pages is because some widgets take up a entire home screen. But Symbian^3 you can have 6 widgets on each home screen, so its pointless to have more.
I know that when Symbian^4 is release it will definitely need more than 3 home screens because it looks like its headed towards the same direction as the Android platform.

by default, the n8 has 3 customizable home screens. i think you can create more home screens if you want. 3 is enough for me tho,

YJ, 23 Jul 2010With me, more homescreen to set more Apps shortcut icon, no... moreThere is nothing wrong for you to want more home screen.
My point is. Not everyone are like you must have so many home screens.
For what reason? Just because other OS have many, we also want many?
I am satisfied with just three home screens.
Other features in this phone is more important to me than having more home screen.
I believe a lot of people will agree with me too.

YJ, 23 Jul 2010With me, more homescreen to set more Apps shortcut icon, no... moreIn each widget you can fit 4 shortcuts. So I still don't see the need for more home screens.

You must compare Symbian^3 in N8 with iOS, Bada, Android. Why the iPhone users, Wave users and Android OS users need 7 or more homescreen? And why we, Symbian^3 users in the future no need more HS?

No one answered my question on why you would want so many widgets and what for?!?!
3 home screens = 18 widgets
7 home screens = 42 widgets
Why would you want 42 widgets!
If the widgets where larger in size then I can see 7 home screens like how HTC Sense has it. Some widgets take up the entire home screen.
Not to mention having that many home screens would slow you device down. When I watch the demos it seems that even they don't fill the 3 home screens up with widgets.
So, What 42 widgets are you going to put on your 7 home screens?

i dont understand why u guys want 5,6,7 home screens!""£$%???
3 home screens are not enough or wat??? some guys say "they want 2 place different icons on different screens"£$$% ....why??
u have kinetic scrolling in menu all over which is speedy enough to access, so i dont think we need more than 3 home screens.

Because Linux distros bring outstanding software advancements to every layer of the platform. It is capable of so much more with all the talent on tap & meamo certainly stands out over IOS.
Virtually it stands out from the crowd which gives it unique attributes that make some amazing GUI's, touch based interface, Amazing 3d effects you won't see on any other Unix based Platform.
Can't wait to see what the final Meegoo looks like, maybe it'll have some relation to Meamo, learn a few things, bring new things as always over any other mobile os. One thing is for sure, it'll stand out, it'll be powerful & nothing else will run as well either hopefully.

I know but Meego although now in later conceptual design stages it doesn't look that good compared to earlier design stages where there were some really innovative ideas that stand out.
But right now Meego looks suprisingly bland & has changed a lot & still looks aweful. People liked the original concept of Meego because it had that Linux difference to the other OS's, themwise, icons, touch based GUI was nice.
But now it look like they have morphed it into some copycat style apple IOS similarity. We don't like that. We need great Linux ideas that make it stand out from the crowd which are unique, awesome & like meamo.
The draw a circle to Zoom is one of those touch gestures that makes it different. Innovative, simple, more useful like meamo which also included Android touch gestures.
Sadly more apps need to be created for meamo to catch on. I'd buy a phone such as the N900 with Meamo but it's really aimed at the specific developer & there aren't many apps taking off & if, ...very very slowly indeed. Otherwise Linux is the future over!
say no more
