the phone over all is great ! on the keyboard is still a touchy %^#*$ at time but im still adjusting testing out better keyboard atm with the oild slick skin i wish thee was a skin that made the keys a bit bigger

idk about the customizable .. my winmo phone was pretty tweaked :p

yeah the keyboard can be tricky. i installed better keyboard with the default android skin from the market. really helps alot. what i mean is flashing and adding themes and such are so much easier than winmo.

My latest iPhone screenshot. Theme is a Mix of Lucerna, CAROL and Eminence, which can be found on devart. The wall is from iPhaze and can also be found on dev art. Come to think about the lockscreen Tenuitas can also be found on devart :blush:

nice, too bad i hate the vanilla look. sense ftw!

i am new to android but i always followed the progress of the platform and until android 2.0 i was of the same opinion - vanilla android looks like sht. but with android 2.0, now android 2.0.1 and 2.1 on the N1, android kinda nailed it for me: simple, fast, nice animations and enough eye-candy to more-than-statisfy a loyal apple user.

i loved sense when htc introduced it with the hero but now i feel like its so cluttered. there is so much stuff there... dont know. i mean my desktop is not the definition of minimalism aswell, though it has already changed since i took the screenshot, but the default-android, in my optinion, really looks awesome, by now. =)

i must say that at the moment, there is nothing, except for SlideScreenPro which would let me not want the default-look. and even SlideScreen didnt entirely convince me.

I'd post mine here but not sure what software to use, if someone can give me the name of a piece of software for android 1.5 to take a screen print I'll edit this post with it.

the app is called "shootme" it's free on the market but you need to be rooted.

the only thing i don't like about vanilla is the white taskbar. i saw some screens of the hero's sense 2.1 update coming next month and it looks awesum. heres the link

yeah i thought the white taskbar sucked aswell but as with everything else i must say, i was tought better.

really, sense looks kinda... dull to me. i dont like those ... orbs around the icons and everything looks so cluttered.

id love to see sense on a 800x480 device, though. is there any HTC-device yet which runs android at that resolution (apart from the N1, of course.)?

edit: okay, here we see some wvga-powered sense 2.1 on the HTC incredible... and that does look kinda nice, i must admit:

The theme is from Cydia's featured Theme list, I have no idea what its called. Thanks.

Tired of the iPhone, I might be buying another HTC Dream (Tmobile G1) next week to play with Android.

That theme is AnnMe. I don't see the point in me posting a screenshot as my phone looks basically the same :pinch: .

      I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
