Re: SPB Mobile Shell

I've used MS3 on my Omnia and MS3.5 on my TP2. It was the only interface I used on my Omnia. That said, after using 3.5 since its release on my TP2, I've now switched to Manila.
The comm manager doesn't work through MS3.5 (easily fixed - change your shortcut), but more importantly - it most definitely screws with the HTC dialer functions. If you rely on those features, like to reliably answer your phone, etc... you really should wait until SPB figures out a fix. Which, based on prior experience, may be a long time coming.
Manila (on the TP2) offers a serviceable Stock screen, a solid weather screen, and quick access to your programs. And it's free. It markedly outshines MS3.5 on the TP2 (for me).

I should add...
(1) no noticeable battery drain, not an issue
(2) linkage/integration to some of SPBs own programs doesn't exist or work correctly - which is ridiculous
(3) slows my TP2 down more so than Manila
