N97's camera cover slider is magnetic sensitive. If you have a leather case with megnet on it, it will turn the camera on even when it's locked. You won't even notice it until you take out the phone.

The megnet is also somehow affecting the phone picking up the call. I can take it out of the megnetic leather case without touching the screen or buttons and it will still pick up the phone before I look at it.

Music Player:
Why not have Album Art displayed whilst scrolling through your music library? If not for the 'All Songs' list, then at least for the Albums list. Currently album art can only be seen while viewing 'Now Playing.'

Also, I would like to browse 'All Songs' by Artist or Album. Sure I can simply go to said Artist or Album folder, find the song and push play, but then when my selected song is finished, Music Player will only play the remainder of that Artist or Album…not my entire music library.

Contact List:
Am I the only one? I have selected 8 *favorites*, all of which I display on my homescreen…then when I click on Contacts, the first thing I see is the 8 favorite contacts that I could have accessed from the homescreen…why would I want my whole screen taken up by contacts that I wouldn't be accessing from that location? Does what I'm saying make sense? In any case, I can see how that would be useful for some, so I propose at the very least an option to re-arrange the way contacts are listed (apart from first name, last name).

MInor issues, I know, but still important ones for usability and aesthetics. It's completely possible that I'm incorrect about these, in which case I can only suggest that you offer your solution.

UI Scrolling & Clicking – You left out one of the most obvious problem! Kinetic scrolling across the UI & confusing double / single click of lists and icons. Both should be changed to kinetic (apparently coming in Sept firmware), and consistent single / double clicking..

Overclock the CPU – like they did with the 5800. The latest Nokias are 600mhz, why can't they clock the N97 to 600 as well?

Full screen – A second factor is full-screen mode, it would be great apps can opt to go full screen Automatically. Ie similar to the web browser.

The transitions id love to have in, and id love for the homescreen widgets to be able to occupy more than one slot of the space is free. Id also want that annoying bug where it asks if its okay to access the internet and update the homescreen widgets all the time!!! also does anyone know if theres a way that i can make the phone use WIFI preferably instead of my data allowance even when im connected to an access point i see it using my 3g signal :( i got my n97 a coupe days ago and got an avi video bluetooth'd to me whats frustrating is that when i try to open the message i just get “messaging unknown file format”, and i cant really do anything else with it, however when i copy the file over manually from my pc i can open the file in a third party viewer (SmartMovie – although with no sound).

This is vital for me because the vast majority of my movies are 1920x1080, so i'd have to be converting anyway.
