The contact carousel feature is kind of neat.

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!

OK, so a little more use and I'm only up to four improvements I'd like to see:

1. Tasks View to complement the Agenda View (better still if the Agenda View could show tasks that are "Due Today"). This should be done as a widget and/or as an Agenda View option. For now, I keep Tasks on the Launcher.

2. Call Log should have an option to tap the item and bring up the traditional call history details rather than immediately dial. There's a lot of times I want to tap the missed call entry and send an email/text instead of call them.

3. Call Log should have an option to Add to Contacts. This doesn't really need any explanation.

4. Must improve Screen Rotation speed!

Ironically, because of the way I use my phone, I have the "Lifestyle" Home setup as an additional launcher. I have it setup with links to various "settings" screens (Backlight, Phone Profiles, Wireless Manager, Battery/Power, RegEdit, Total Commander, S2U2 Settings, Remove Programs, Phone, Sounds & Notifications, Device Info, and Memory).

The actual launcher is then used for applications I use (far more frequent than settings), and that keeps them 1 press away (as opposed to the more cumbersome flick gesture).

What makes this interesting, to me at least, is that the Spb Menu (Organizer/Internet/Messaging/etc) is now pretty much useless to me even though it was my most favored navigation method in 2.x. I suspect this is why that menu is currently lacking its usual customization options.

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!

So far the only negative I have about it is that I have to go to the today screen to dismiss some notifications. Thats kind of a pain, but definitely I can live with it

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!

One other things I discovered I like about SB3 is how you can swipe back and forth between the Lifestyle Page(s) and the Professional Page using an up or down gesture.
