First, to address UX inconsistencies throughout Maemo: Each app/area within
Maemo is developed by a separate team. This is actually a much greater "bug"
within Maemo (unfortunately, one that cannot be completely solved via Bugzilla)
and why we see differently functionality occur between apps.

Hex's argument is a good one -- and I'm glad the post appeared. The reason I
feel like I do, though, is over the past few months that I've been using the
N900 (beginning with pretty old/buggy software), I can only remember making a
mistake like this once or twice -- and that's with over 800 contacts. So,
that's where I'm coming from.

I'm all for this option to be added to the Contacts app. And, if there are
enough people who need the confirmation dialog, I will concede to it. But, I
also want to "argue" for the side of seamless UX. I can point to several papers
that speak on the importance of moving away from confirmations and using the
"undo" paradigm whenever possible. But, again, this is just in the interest of
debate, in order to find the best solution for everyone. (This is the case for
every app -- e.g., Modest, etc. -- not just Contacts.)
