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 want to
drop kick the Q1 after futzing around with it for an hour.)

But... I really like that mock-up.
