It's been a hot minute since we first laid eyes on those WinMo screen grabs featuring big ol' buttons at the bottom of the display -- signaling, we hoped, an all-around effort to minimize stylus use in the mobile OS -- and now we have a video for you that seems to further make the case. While WinMo 6.5 build 23022 is still pretty clumsy, those finger-friendly (well, at least, "finger-friendlier," or maybe "not as finger-hostile") buttons grace the bottom of the display, and there is an iPhone-esque magnifying glass option for zooming in on and editing text. Technical details for this build are available at the read link -- but first, make sure you peep the thing in action at the break.

I personally am using an Omnia with a cooked ROM based off of 6.5 Build 23016 and like it alot. It's smooth, easy access to whatever i need to get to and i make it all better by getting SPB Shell for it. Everything for me is just a click or swipe away. Even the sub layers are no more than 2 gestures away.
It's all on how you use your phone and what you do to make it better for you. iPhones just don't work for me and what I want my phone able to do.
As for what's cool and not. I know for sure that cool is not what you buy, it's what you are to begin with.
I won't even begin to comment on Winmo7 till I have it on my phone and am actively using it. I don't care how it compares to the iPhone cause I just don't think it has all the capabilities I want in a phone. Will there be a new Mobile OSX by then? Don't know cause they haven't even mentioned beta testing yet so I don't care.
WinMo is still is a piece of s. Come on, Microsoft! Open your eyes and check the iPhone, it won't hurt. What you did is so yesterday.
WinMo? I thought 6.5 was going to be 'Windows Phone'
