The UI is very quick and responsive. i have not experienced any lag on mine and i've had my TP on for over 4 days continuously with no issues to PointUI. In regards to the Pro/Free messaging difference. On the free version if you hit the envelope on the 4 button home row it just opens up tmail.exe and lists your sms/exchange/any other emails to choose from. The pro version, when you hit said button, brings up a list of messages you recieve. You can filter it to show only emails, picturemail, sms, or show all. You can also hit create up top and choose what type, sms,email,etc and it will open straight up to a new message screen read for contact and message to be typed... I like it far better than the Rhodium SmS setup, that think just annoyed me, but it could be due to its ported nature, perhaps it works better on the actual TP2 when they are released. Personal opinion for me is that PointUI > TouchFlo. But thats me

I'm very very cheap when it comes to phone software. If i can't find a good working free alternative, ill break down and buy it, depending on the price. I've seen far less sophisticated software sell for $40 bucks. I urge anyone who is on the fence to try the free version first if they haven't. with the exception of the locked pro features the fluid speed and functionality is the same for the most part. If you also know your going to keep on Windows Mobile phones you can bear in mind it can travel with you. I bought it and im about to go buy a Pre on saturday cause of the uses i need for business. Still best piece of $20 software i have gotten..

PointUI is awesome! I've been using it for a while now. I tried running it on my Mogul but it used too much memory. Now that I have the Touch Pro it simply blows away TF3D! I love it! I'll have to post some screen shots when I get a chance. Soooo much you can do with this program. I highly recommend it! BTW, I'm running Home2 Pro.

Has anybody noticed excessive battery drain from PointUI??

I am running Merdin's awesome 6.5 ROM & switching back & forth between his black/red TF3D2 setup & PointUI Pro:

In PointUI I have basically the same apps that I have in TF3D2. I installed the stock tracker, the 5 day weather, the flip clock & the calendar app.

When I use the TF setup, my battery life is absolutely incredible, it is much less so running PointUI & I can't figure out why.

I have been checking all the settings etc to make sure I don't have the weather or stock updating 100 times an hour or something stupid like that, but I can't find any obvious reason that there should be much (if any) difference in battery life between the two setups.

I get better battery life running PointUI then I do with TF3D2, but I'm running a different ROM also.
