Comment (by hugobaeta):

 Like you said and shown with the screenshots, there are currently two UI
 patterns for table navigation:
 - the one at the top the table, uses an input field for the current page
 number, so one can navigate quickly to others - let's call this the "input
 navigation"
 - the one at the bottom of the table, just lists the page number and
 context ("1 of X") - let's call this the "simple navigation"

 I had proposed in our conversation we switch both to a consistent pattern
 on top and bottom, one based on context: if there are less than 3 pages,
 show the "simple navigation" (no input, since the user can navigate all
 the pages, up to 3, with the first/previous/next/last buttons); if there
 are more than 3 pages, then we use the "input navigation", as it will help
 the user get to any page more quickly.

 Thoughts?
