this interface is completely eyecandy, with barely anything functional going on.

oh, and i'm missing my battery icon, and the drop down thingy in the corner to close apps that don't want to manually... thats more than enough for me to not be able to use this. i kinda need my battery icon there.

Battery icon is replaced on bottom bar near the mini globe in the center. As for task manager, its gone... Overall a great UI, I'll wait for the Pro release.
Edit: It adds its own task manager under the left menu soft key!

id been trying it so far for about fifteen minutes and its pretty awesome.
very fluid and easy to use.

problem is the backgrounds.

my images are 480*640 and it scales them ingly. get all pixelated and shrunk in some weird manner. not happy at all with that.

Ok I tried it again for kicks and am using it over TF3D for now, the only issue I have is the Tasks/Calendar slide/bubble leads to the default task/calendar manager, how can I remap it to ThumbCal?
Thanks,

I tried it for a few hours yesterday. I don't like that I have to scroll through my email accounts by pushing the play button. The messaging button in the bottom right is not much help either. I can't reply to messages nearly as fast as BellUI or TF3D. In the contacts page, I get the neverending wait cursor and no slider on the right for fast scroll. Also, no status bar. I love the status bar on BellUI. I can quicky toggle bluetooth and a few other goodies there. All in all, it's very smooth and looks nice but I went back to BellUI after a few hours. I did notice the same battery drain on Point as I did on Bell. I might have to return TF3D (UHG!!!) if I don't find a fix soon.

Just read this article on it.

It looks pretty good.

I dont understand why people are saying its not functional. Everything you need is 3 or less taps away. tf3d even with all the hacks couldnt dream of being this fast. Eye candy yes but very functional.

So far its been pretty nice. I liked the original PointUI, but this one is really slick !

there's some room for improvement, but overall, there's great potential

Does it need to be installed in the main memory? I tried Internal Storage and I can't find PointUI 2 anywhere. I looked in settings, today, items, and PointUI is not there. I can't load too much in main memory due to the Sprint Diamond taking up too much memory.

What are your thoughts?
