That looks a lot like the old TouchWiz on the Omnia. For me the best Mobile OS out there for looks and usability is Windows Phone 8.

Be good if they can get this OS selling well as it would be good to have a lot of choice rather than just Android IOS and WP8 at the moment.

they have a super uphill battle, its kinda late for this now. but all it is is a backing from a major major manufacturing company and a phone company maybe it can get 3% of the market.
