Yeap I agrea with you, but unfurtunatly the UI of Kontact was done way before 
there was a swipe gesture, so we kinda creted a ui flow thst depended on 
somthing similar to a swipe.... we can also make the flap into a buton...

the sad part is that the UI wont fit very well in N9, but we had to create a 
complete UI with no example as a goal...
