Of course if people won't read it and just blindly press yes the contact will be removed. This will improve in the next release with a better message in the confirmation dialog.

In my opinion it is, only pocketable. It's Debian Linux, a desktop OS, with the Maemo UI on top to make it pocketable. So its still a PC even though it's in your pocket. Its no different than the OQO or S7 only it doesn't need a stylus maybe your thinking that the N900 isn't a PC was the start of the problem. In my opinion it is, only pocketable.
