That is exactly what I was thinking. Disable the TouchWiz and just get down to the basics.

I’m just interested that they finally got a good way of switching between running tasks. The Aero style frills of flipping through screen-shots of the running programs is really more than is needed and just icing on the cake.

I was getting sick of having to back out to the home page to access the task manager in a dropdown.

Hey assholes. The only reason the first pic looks cluttered is because they dragged all the widgets on top of each other. If you want screen space, don’t use the widgets. dumb fucks.

Eh, the only thing that looks usable is the messaging screen. Everything else is just a cluster of bright colors.

thats because this is most likely windows mobile 6.1, and even if it was 6.5 it looks EXACTLY like tw2.0 on wm6.1. bgr is again trying to make new news out of something old, many sites have had a full review of the omnia2 up for a while now. for example:

Windows Mobile looks about the same as it did eight years ago. It’s amazing how much M$ has neglected the UI. Pretty much anything is an improvement as long as you don’t lose functionality.

ok please explain cos I don’t see anything about wm6.5 still looks like the same touch wiz 2.0 on wm6.1. Any video to see the difference in speed?

None of this matters. The first thing you do is disable Touchwiz and install a real skin, like SPM MobileShell 3, or even the free iFonz. Then, not only is the skin 1000 times more useable, but overall performance is better.

Looks like a jumbled mess. Just like the first Omnia. One of the most confusing and poorly designed UI I ever tried.

They should have left 6.5 naked….it looks damn better with its Zune style lists etc.
