Ugh... same stupid criticisms of WinMo. What's so wrong with that last screenshot? It's got square corners? It's grey? It doesn't swoosh around and drop pixie dust when you pinch or swipe or whatever?
How many times, if ever, do you think you'll see that screen? All of those buttons can be pressed without a stylus, by the way.
And the OK button? No need for a stylus either. I know it looks small, but the touch-sensitive area seems to be bigger usually (or at least feels that way).
I was actually going to post a comment about that corner "OK"/"Exit"/"Close" button. Why the F do so many people bitch about that being hard to access without a stylus? I get, and agree with, point about many other on screen buttons being difficult to use with a finger, but if you really can't touch the "X" without screwing something up, you're simply not coordinated enough to leave the house, let alone use a phone. Being in the corner of the screen, it's not even remotely difficult to get at. I'd explain the trick, but if you have the phone in your hand and can't figure it out on your own, you should leave the internets now.
It's almost as bad as people bitching about the difficulty of selecting items on the small menus in reviews of phones with d-pads. I'd agree if we were forced to use only the touch screen, but if you've got a d-pad, use it. I can use the start menu on my original HTC Touch without looking at the phone at all (I do it all the time while driving). I'll be bummed when I have to upgrade to a touch screen only phone and can't do that anymore.
