We recently tried the new Lumias in the flesh for the first time. Mrs. d000hg immediately pointed out that on the homescreen, you lose an entire column of valuable screen space beneath the "->" button. I've not seen anyone else complain about this but it does seem a waste of maybe 10% of the screen... what does anyone else thing about this?

Yes this is something I thought about too. I think they could move the icon up centre the two rows of tiles and make them larger. There should be enough space still to put your finger down to push the screen across to access all the installed apps.

I picked a Lumia 800 before Christmas and really like it. It's not perfect but I prefer it over an Android or iPhone.
