How many times do you swipe side to side?

I agree. I tried to play solitaire today. Seemed like every other move opened
Winterface. Lame. There needs to be a more unique gesture or the option to turn it off.

I also notice a couple of other things today. When you miss a call, it will appear as a little notification on the phone icon, but when you press it, it still just takes you to the dialer screen. You would think that it would take you to the missed call log....wrong. Another pretty obnoxious thing is that when you are on a long call and your screen shuts off, you must wake the phone, slide to unlock it, and THEN end the call - you can't just hit the hardware end key a couple times. NO LIKEY. Also (a minor one) the battery icon that i mentioned in my last rant works fine as a snapshot of how much battery power you have left, but when you press the icon.....nothing......you'd expect it to take you to the power settings so you could see the actual % and all, but it just plain doesn't do anything.

I also installed this on a Treo 800w today. I looks pretty sweet, there are 3 rows of five icons - which means NO HOLE in the bottom right hand of the screen!!!! But that's about all it has going for it....ahahahah. The phone icon doesn't take you to the dialer screen, it takes you to the treo default home screen. The sms icon doesn't work at all (unless you have SMS-Chat installed, which doesn't work on the 800w) and there is no way to put a calendar icon on it for some reason. Just these alone were unacceptable and I did no further tests on it. We'll have to see if in future releases that this might become compatible. Until then, its pretty worthless on the 800.

I'll keep checking it out...
