    I had mine set to Some Animations but just changed it to All and I really like it. The screen don't seem to change quite as fast, but it makes it feel more polished and smooth. What do you guys have yours set on (Its in Display Settings by the way).

    THIS is my issue with Andorid...

    Not to pick on this particular person's homescreen, he didn't design the apps... This is a PERFECT example of what I mean when I say that Andorid looks cheap and amateurish. Why the hell is "Multimedia" cut off? And it doesn't scroll either, thats just how it looks. And see the little...

    New to Captivate/Android...can I change the theme?

    I just picked up the phone yesterday and love many things about it however I do not like the look of the UI at all, it looks very amateurish and "cheap". I know there are many themes available out there but do they work on this phone? Does it require a custom ROM? I assume it needs to be rooted...
