Re: Advise for dumb old man

As a former Palm user myself (M100, IIIc, Treo 650), I felt the same as you. I needed a clean interface that didn't need a fracking stylus all the time (....I was, frustrated with the built in interrface, lol)

I tried Ultimate Launch, Winterface, the various Touch "Super" Cubes (MacFlo BB and Vista 2.0 being wonderful), Pocket Plus, SPB Mobile Shell, Point UI, HTC Home 6 tabs, and WAD, and I've settled on IFonz 1.0.7. and MusicFlo as worthy replacements for the simple "Look and Press" of Palm's OS.

In short, Ifonz makes your Mogul look and function like an IPhone! It is very customisable, and is the primary interface I use. If you add the S2U2 program, you'll have an Iphone with a slide-out keyboard! There's even an Iphone dialer floating around, but please verify that it is for CDMA phones.

MusicFlo on the other hand is a "still in development" program that emulates the new Diamond/Touch Pro interface. It's a little buggy, but it's an awesome program I switch too when I need a change.

Also, if you need your phone for business like I do, then stability/performance is important. I suggest flashing DCD's 3.2.6. and installing No2Chem's NueTools via .cab files or his nuePackageinstaller (for OEM's). I only use NueUSB and NueFonts, but there are many others.

Also, keep an eye out for No2Chem's V3 NueROM. He seems to have freed up about 6MB, which is very important with the Mogul.

As for dialer's with bigger button's, DCD'S ROM's already come with the Touch's dialer, but if you want to try one of the custom CDMA dialers out there (like the one's that mimic the Diamond's dialer), then you will need the BlueFrog dialer first, and then install the customs over it)
