Actually, Fremantle is slated to have quite a bit of UI work.

For whatever it's worth, it's probably not worth your time hacking in Matchbox as Nokia is moving to X.org for Fremantle, so who knows what might be happening with the WM.

As for Diablo, yes, it's not one to go to yet. I've seen way too many problems with it, and downgraded from it myself after suffering through many of those. As for the UI stuff, I can help with that as I'm a part time UI designer. I can't code in the languages required to build the UI's, but I can help with the actual design and layout elements, as that's where I typically focus most of my time.

As for good UI designs, I like this one for the wireless icon in the status bar:
http://tabletui.wordpress.com/2008/0...ready-to-surf/

That example really is nice, and aside from a few minor changes to the icons (for easier viewing of the variations), I think it's a good idea. I also suggested a few other UI improvements to the wireless interface in another thread. If someone wants me to, I can do some mockups so you can see the changes I've suggested.

If anything, Nokia has stated future iterations of the OS will be even more finger "friendly" (i.e., more crappier, according to the OP). Then again, you knew that already, so why not just say it?

It won't solve all your problems, but Personal Menu will solve some of the issues you speak of (you will still have huge icons).

If you have a better GUI, I know I'd like to see it (seriously, I am an old Newton guy, and it was way slow, but had a great UI).

Yes, it will be much more finger friendly than the OS2008.

bad news.

after all, the "finger friendliness" was what started this thread IIRC.

No big icons here with Personal Menu...

Yes, I wonder why Nokia thinks that a "finger friendly" UI must be "stylus and space unfriendly".
