You should install the dwizzy 12 quicklinks cab even though its off center, but it's better than having 9 and not being able to see 3 of them.

2.5 Manila has its downsides too. The contacts tab is useless if you used the zenyee HTC messaging disable cab, but I recommend it if you want to have working picturemail. The old interface for sms/mms works great. It only lags if you have a loooooot of messages on your phone. The new one lags if you have like more than 10 or so, lol. It's just too buggy for everyday use right now. So I disable the contacts tab, footprints tab since it doesn't work, and the music tab because I don't use mine as a music player. I've got an mp3 player for when I ride my motorcycle, a car when I drive, and a computer for everything else.

If you want stability, stick with a 21xxx build with 2.1. If you want flash, go with 2.5 manila version. 23xxx and 28xxx builds are a little bit more finger friendly than older builds. I use a seidio innocase for my TP so hitting the start menu at the top sometimes requires my other hand. When it's at the bottom its a bigger button and its easy to hit with my thumb while holding the phone. I'm pretty happy with the latest build with the Dusk theme.

you don't have to have off center quicklinks,i made a cab that lines up perfect and gives you access to all 12 links,it's in the thread attachments
