I'd like to meet the "real people" who gave feedback on the N800 - not only
have they given away the vital hard-case, but they're either all right-handed or only
weakly left-handed! :)
Placing the buttons on one side cannot be satisfactory for both left and right handed
users - such a decision clearly expresses a bias to one group or the other. The argument
"it works for both" isn't logical, and in practice such decisions rarely work
well in the real world - this is a prime example.
The N800 (and also the 770) design is biased towards right handed people, and
gives no concession to lefties. Lets face it, the software doesn't even support
left handed people either as there is no RandR support - this wouldn't be hard
to implement as a standard feature.
I'm not proposing that Nokia are sued for completely ignoring the requirements
of a substantial proportion of the worlds population, but eventually I hope
*someone* is sued and maybe then firms like Nokia will take note and design
products accordingly.
