works great on my omnia....thanks for the heads up...huge upgrade as far as I'm concerned.

So far I only have a few big issues. First is a lack of responsiveness in the 3D app for e-mail. That app also has problems properly displaying e-mails. I can't use the text message because it doesn't have support for conversations, so all the SMS's line up endlessly. Aside from that, the scrolling is still broken. I can't stop the kinetic scrolling by tapping the screen still, which is annoying. Still, it's better than before, not all scrolls scroll endlessly anymore. The search widget doesn't work properly either. You can't use spaces as it does not interpret them correctly. You have to use a + instead.

Aside from those, no major issues. None of those is a deal breaker, so I guess I'll likely upgrade, though I really hope those get fixed. I also wish they added different versions of the media player widget, since it would be perfect if they added one that had a volume control.

The new release presents several additional widgets supporting social networks like Facebook and Twitter, enhanced Internet searching with instant suggestions and many others.
"This version clearly shows where SPB Software is going," - says Sebastian-Justus Schmidt, CEO of SPB Software. "We are on the way to make it even more flexible for user personalization, as well as being a great partner for phone manufacturers and mobile operators. The fast changing market needs the right user interface with great flexibility in customization. And we are well prepared for the demand."
In addition to numerous OEMs that already license SPB Mobile Shell, SPB Software has announced several new partnerships, involving China's ZTE, Huawei and the biggest China-based OEM K-Touch. At the event SPB Software has also announced signing of a significant agreement with MediaTek, a leading fabless semiconductor company for wireless communications and digital multimedia solutions.

That's right! Looks like it's been released one day early (judging from the release history).

Head over to spbsoftwarehouse.com for the latest version. Looks like some significant improvements actually. Of course, MS3.1 users can upgrade to MS3.5 for free.

TF3D users: BEWARE! You may never go back to TouchFlo...

I'll have to give this a shot. I did not like MS3.0, but this looks like they have some nice improvements.
