I thought the line separation for the keypad in ScaredyCat’s theme was much better, I don’t like this one as much.

This looks really nice and clean.. I must agree with Marcus, it could be even better if the gradient in the top bare was dropped.

[...] Thomas Wood ha appena pubblicato qualche immagine di un presunto nuovo studio di tema per quel “telefoninux” che doveva provocare un’ondata di open-fanatismo nel mondo della telefonia mobile ma che purtroppo ultimamente suscita in me solo sbadigli oo [...]

Looks VERY sexy, much more beautiful than the old one. And if it’s also faster, even better. Please make that the default.

The (B) is supposed to be on top of [ 2 ]. The spaces I’va added got crushed, blogs doesn’t like ascii art.

I don’t know if this is possible on a normal tactile screen or needs one special, but I will love this:

Once you press a key (and hold it pressed) a circle appears surrounding the key, with the different sub-options. For example:

(B)
(A) [ 2 ] (C)

So just by moving the pointer/finger to left/top/right you could get the right letter (and it can be improved with more options in the circle.

You avoid having to click several times on a key, it works on small displays (full querty is not an option) and it’s easy to remember. The spatial positions are easy for our brains, so we will learn to write very fast with this kind of keyboard.

Yeah, this looks excellent. Avoiding UI sluggishness is the single most important element of mobile interface design, so it’s great this this looks cool too.

I wonder if one could not skip completely the gradient in the header bar.

Anyway, looks great. Is it somewhere publicly available?

Simple and clean ROCKS!

A lot more appealing than the “nice but a bit classical” official theme.

The top top header (Dialer/Cotacts) needs a little work though. The gradient color doesn’t fit well with your theme.

Awesome, awesome awesome. Less fake-3D and more simplicity. Go Tom!
