This is a very good point. Unfortunately I don't have an N900 to test with. Can Kontact mobile run on N810 as well and are there packages available for diablo?

The breadcrumb is certainly one we'll see used by KDE mobile apps a lot so it's good we are discussing it. One thing I would like to do though is get designers involved *now* rather then later. Not just involved, I would go as far as having a small team of KDE designers (Nuno, Enrico, Thomas, etc) actually determine the KDE mobile user experience.
