For me, liking TouchFlo 3D basically boiled down to, I enjoy using it. Intellectually, I know there are more powerful, more flexible programs (such as Spb Mobile Shell) out there that are probably, objectively speaking, better. But right now I'm using my Touch Pro like the boring businessperson that I am, and my warm fuzzies from the user experience outweigh my annoyance at TF3D's limitations. It's a tradeoff. I do feel that HTC could fix a lot of the issues I had if they'd stop translating "simple to use" into "complete lack of user options." @Veronica, I'm planning an article about TF3D tweaks, and the Advanced Configuration Tool is on the list. Have you looked at Diamond TF3D Config? Thanks for the comments!

Great article! I am going to link to it from my site! Recently, I did a similar comparison of TF3D and Mobile Shell: http://windowsmobilelouisville.com/2008/11/20/touchflo-3d-vs-spb-mobile-shell-why-i-think-spb-got-it-right/ I too, am using Mobile Shell on my Touch Diamond, and I'm quite the happy camper!

Surprisingly, it really does work, and breaks that dependence on the stylus. Using an Omnia for two weeks, I never felt I NEEDED the stylus, and without one there to hold my hand, using a fingertip became natural and easy.

Personally, I think SPB Mobile Shell is an excellent alternative that you can use on all Windows Mobile 5/6 devices, looks great, performs well and has more customisation options.
