@Nokiausers I intended to tell the reason why I made such a poll only after having gathered some feedback, in order to prevent a bias, but... in fact I'm a usability/user experience specialist, and noticed something "strange" in early videos of the N8. I thought it was due to the early stage of the OS version, and didn't mind. Then, I showed those videos to colleagues, and several did notice the same "strange" thing. Then, I went to Nokia World, and guess what? Several guys freely told me about this "strange" thing.
This thing is the delay between the gesture across the touchscreen and the scrolling effect between home screens.
You may think it's just a small detail, but I tend to think that if a lot of people do consider this as "strange", it may become a problem when it comes to selling the device. A lot people in a store will remain on their first (negative) impression, and think the device is poorly performing. Which would be a shame : it performs really good in other parts of the UI, as you can see here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYrVdZCzzaA
