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.

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.

Can I get rid of the useless and stupid two default contact/web icons?
I could write a better GUI blind drunk with half a bottle of Tequila left. Where's the sources to Nokia's version of Matchbox?
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).

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