What? Every video clip involved rearranging the home screens and icons. I NEVER do that. It's a cute feature I might use once a year, but not a selling point.
The home screen should be like Google Search: show me what I need to see; get me where I need to go. I don't want to play home screen roulette.

Used SPB Mobile in my Windows Mobile days. Interested to see how this turns out

Ah, SPB. Reminds me of a time before iPhone vs. Android debates, a time when Handango was sort of a de facto "app store" and you downloaded programs directly from vendors...

This has some serious potential. I used SPB Mobile Shell for WinMo and it was awesome. Holding thumbs that they pull this off.

honestly? it looks ugly as fuck. just look at those UI elements. the aesthetics of late-90's shareware.
plus, ALL seemingly awesome 3d guis i've seen so far ended up being a gimmick toy with little usability. why would I need to waste time to watch some 3d transitions? what new opportunities does a 3d perspective give in a goddamn phone? this looks VERY lame. perhaps in the future someone might come up with an actually useful 3d solution, but this is far from it.

I hate seeing peoples phones with so much junk on seven home screens. Worst part of HTC Sense is all the shit they cram on.
I have mine set up with one screen, a nice background, clockr and a hidden task bar. No menu icons or anything. Press home to get to the app drawer where everything is organised as it should be. Why would I want to see tiny snippets of SMS's on my home screen, or tiny pictures? Or what the lastest facebook status update is. Music widget is pointless, I lock my screen after choosing a song and when I unlock it, it takes me straight back there. I can press back to go to the library which saves one button rather than using the stupid homescreen widget.

Derp, I hate people with other preferences than me!

How about a slightly more intelligent discussion on why you think I am wrong? I gave a valid argument for why I feel that way for homescreens, I gave reasons for my preference. Maybe you should do the same?

see the side bar over there ------>
see that part right above the add, yea. it's in a private beta for now and you can hope that you get in but it may not be ready for everyone as of yet and they want the ability to test it out so let them.

Looks like a lot of eyecandy and little substance.
Agreed. I like the spin, but the preview pics make the rest of the interface look so rigid. Do not want.
Thought this when I first saw it. What does it offer me? If it makes my actual use of my phone faster then I would probably get it, but if this is all there is then thanks but no thanks.
