I like the direction that MS is heading w WM 6.5.1... but 23037 is a first stab at 6.5.1 and I don't feel that it's ready from a usability standpoint yet.

Moving the buttons to the bottom and reducing the width of the upper notification bar is a big step in the right direction. But it will take a while for some must-have apps to be updated to work with 6.5.1.

The finger friendliness of some of the native WM dialogs still has work to be done. If I recall correctly (I reverted back to a prior Juicy build) the sounds and notifications settings dialogs were a PITA. They increased the size of the font on the screens but did not enable finger scrolling on the dialog which made changing settings a PITA. In all it seemed like the dialogs were half-way between stylus and finger operation. MS still has work to do.

As soon as a reverted back to a WM6.5 build I already missed the buttons on the bottom. So they must be doing something right. It was good to try it out.
