Interesting. Nicely designed...

Just watched it too - was expecting to deride it as merely another Android skin, but it's got some nice UI features.
Says the person who's barely even used a smartphone.

Saw this earlier, reminds me a of - http://en.miui.com/ (which is my favourite mobile os)
But with a different launcher (desktop).looks great. I find some of these os's like miui a lot nicer that the apple iOS interface, They just seem a lot cleaner.
But obviously apple have to make an interface that appeals to everyone rather than a small dev team making it look how they want.

What I only discovered recently and still don't know enough about is ubuntu mobile os -
http://www.ubuntu.com/phoneUbuntu has a gorgeous interface and the mobile stuff looks great.
Anyone used it?- I can't seem to see a download for it... Don't think it released yet :/Hombre_Lobo

I'm tempted to buy an S3 to have a play with this

It's the most Apple rip'd OS I've seen, but it has some nice little touches of it's own. Huge rip though. But in a nice way.
This thread gave me bipolarity.- Eh?set
- i don't see how it's any more of a rip than any other modern phone OSset
- <what set said.
unless you think the icon grid layout is a rip of apple os.Hombre_Lobo - yeh your right.
i hadnt seen the video fully only screenies. so much of it looks identical. but nicer mind!Hombre_Lobo

If the Ubuntu user experience is as good as the desktop then I am sure it will be a hit.

- it's not hte list of contacts, it's the button style, the footer icons, the alpha on the right edge, the dividers, etcmonospaced

I'm a slave to impulse and have just bought an S3 to play with this OS. I've been enjoying the Sony xperia Z with android, far more than I did the iPhone to my surprise, but it still leaves me wanting to try something new

^im tellin ya set, give miui a try -
its by far the most refined looking mobile os ive used. feels like android/IOS but more sophisticated and under stated.
Also has an inbuilt theme manager which works very very well. with hundreds and hundred of themes online. Which also allow you to choose elements from certain themes, like background colors, icons, lock screens, offering a lot of customisation.

picked up a new galaxy s4 yesterday. smartisan definitely looks very elegant. will give it a try when they do a proper release.

Just installed this on an s3, it looks great, a thousand leagues from the stock Samsung OS.
Will post some screenshots and thoughts once I've used it a bit !
