The underlying truth, is that we have options, and more so we have opinions. Sure your alarm clock might not show up on Tf3D or something easy to fix like that (mine does) and maybe you don't like having to get a 2nd today to manage your life, That's just the way things are.

Finding people that share your same opinions might make you feel better, but really who is this about in the end?
I agree with you from the perspective you take on the entire phone - better to have it than not have it at all. That is sort of the strength of this platform, it is sort of two phones in one. I think you made a good point as others have. TF3D offers a more touch-centric, simplified interface for those that prefer it. For WM Power Users that must have all their special 3rd party apps, they can toggle or just turn TF3D off.

But the point of this thread was to discuss the merits of TF3D as an adequate replacement to the traditional WM interface, not to discuss if the phone overall was good or not.

And the purpose of me starting the thread was not to just see if others would validate my initial observations, but to see if anyone could provide additional information that would actually CHANGE my initial opinion on TF3D. This discussion isn't about a person, it's about a feature in an operating system. Granted its value differs depending on how the phone is used, but some general conclusions can be made.
