Why is the Active Desktop not more open? I should be able to add all sorts of panels, shortcuts, menus to the screen. E.g. expandable panels could provide me with far more shortcuts without placing ugly text lines permanently on the desktop. Also, why the HECK can't I still change the wallpaper to fit the entire screen? I am waiting for the day when someone will come up with a decent desktop replacement for S60. No, Handy Shell is not it. Never mind themes or shells. Why is the Active Desktop not more open? I should be able to add all sorts of panels, shortcuts, menus to the screen.

Like whether the Active Standby should be active or not, Clock style analogue or digital and similar display options. For the scenario where the icons on the standy should change and other similar changes, i feel Nokia should expand the "Modes" feature of the E66 and E71.. Instead of just the two modes, they should let the user add as many modes as he wants. Infact, this might be also turned into a replacement for the default and age old "Profiles" feature. Instead of just changing the ringing styles and alerts for different scenarios, you could change the complete set up of the phone. While in a meeting, the Meeting mode can give you quick access to QuickOffice, Sound Recorder, Wireless Presenter and switch to a more sober and formal theme, remove the Share Online plugin from standby with more space for the Calendar plugin. Instead of the Outdoor profile for going on hikes or hanging out with friends, you can have a Outdoor mode, which will change the ringing style to loudest and the most alerts available, give quick access to Camera, Gallery, Music and change the theme to something fun and light hearted. Themes should be what they are right now, although a little bit more should be added.
