As a user of Evolution, I can tell you that having the ability to
combine 5 different email services into one client is very handy. Some
of the email servers that I connect to only have imap or a very ugly
version of Outlook Express Web (nearly useless on any OS, including XP).
And their imap serv

Hi Jason,
Using icons instead of text for buttons is certainly an option. I
went with text because it's clear and creating a meaningful,
unambiguous icon can sometimes be difficult (especially given the
space constraints in the interface).
When I worked at Pepper we had the same discussion
There will be a need to release in many languages and strings are
easily localizable. I'm not sure whether icons are localizable, and
images may not mean the same thing in different cultures.
There's also a commitment to an on-board email client, although it's
a good question whether one is

Agreed. Could even go a step further and make the common "send",
"reply", "forward" etc button just icons vs. spelling it out (especially
if there's ever a plan to release in other languages). My big question
is why not just assume people that will use web email (and there is data

Over the last week I have been attempting to use the Q1 to check my
gmail, and I agree it is way to cluttered and a real challenge to use
without a stylus.
I haven't really said anything because to be honest I don't know exactly
how to fix the UI. (I just know the current UI tends to make me wan

Hi.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm not currently working
I like the buttons, but worry about them taking up too much screen
real estate. We should definitely test on a 800x480 res screen and
see how usable the application is. Maybe a good compromise would be
to size the buttons to the minimal size needed by the average finger
so they are not bigg
Hi Adilson,
Definitely keep the buttons! Some devices won't have a stylus, so
it's important that the UI of each app be usable with just a finger.
Our experience is that even on devices with a stylus, users will
often try to use their fingers (and get frustrated if a widget is too
small).
Hi,
