Espresso 3.0 UI questions

[Jerry Hildenbrand]

Just wondering aloud here. I imagine T-Mo will slap the Espresso UI on the MT4GS. Also have a gut feeling that their theme engine will be built in.

What say y'all? Good, or bad? Espresso 3.0 could be very, very cool. Or it could be not so very, very cool

I'm also hoping it's 2.3.4 and Google talk chat is built into the contacts. Make it so T-mobile -- we'll love you for it.

I am the only one of my friends that actually like espresso. I trust HTC will make it great. Especially if they add the new lock screen.

The Glacier ran like garbage until you rooted it and removed the bloat (or installed CM7). I don't put too much faith into Espresso Sense. This is especially so, with that bloated, slow Genius Button.

The Genius Button was a great concept, but a major failure point for that OS. They should've included the option to return to stock Google Search / Voice Actions. While it was cool that Genius (Dragon Dictation) would read out my texts and announce callers, it would also take roughly a minute to launch, when I needed it to be somewhat instant.

The newest version of 'MySense' looks better in the screenshots, but I suppose we'll have to wait and see. In the end, I'd probably want to root it and throw on stock Gingerbread with a better launcher. I'm probably going to just stick with my rooted Glacier. The only thing that might even make me consider upgrading is if the bootloader is unlocked (and I doubt that it is).
