See the screenshots, you can totally customize your home screen of your phone with shortcuts and widgets.

I had it on my Xperia X1 and now on my Satio, and its brilliant, especially you get to see the weather forcast in the home screen with plenty of sun !

The touch interface is very good, having 3 screens in the Lifestyle view allows you to swipe to access shortcuts.
The homescreen has everything I want on it.
Current Time.
Time of next alarm.
Next metting.
Weather for next 5 days in my location.
Battery Meter,
Current Profile
Bluetooth on/off
Display of Missed calls, and unread SMS.
Speeddial shortcut

It installed / works without problems on my Satio (unhacked, latest firmware, no branding).
The weather-forecast can by updated manually or in intervals that are definded by you (30 min / 1 h / 4 h / 24 h).
On the weather-screen is the information how old the data is (latest update xx m/h ago).

i believe the the spb mobile shell works quite well.
about 80-90% of the time it works well.
put/edit any shortcuts,apps,contacts,widgets on few of the available homescreens.
quite customizable..

you have all the phone features available to select or even add apps/games you want on particular home screens..
wallpaper, transitions, etc everything is customizable just a matter of fiddling with the settings and all.

any questions just ask.

I've got it on my Satio and it's working very well indeed. One question though: is it possible to create a direct link to an internet bookmark? I've not found a way to do it. You can link to browsers (e.g. the internet app or Opera) but I can't find a way to link directly to a bookmark.

Thanks Krypt I'll do that. How were you thinking of getting that done? I was wondering if it would be possible to write mini Symbian apps to hold the links. But I know nothing about writing Symbian apps!
