We’ve seen most everything about the BlackBerry Storm that Verizon wanted us to see, but this is the first real (clear) glimpse at what the UI is apt to look, taste and smell like whenever it decides to ship. Of course, we’d still caution you to take all of this with a grain of salt until Vodafone comes clean, but the screen shots captured in the read link do look fairly believable. Can you stand any more teasin’? If so, you know where to head.

Right, so we have to pepper in some skepticism here just in case someone with way too much time on their hands has simply coated Vista in what they believe is Windows 7 garb, but ThinkNext purportedly has a whole host of screenshots from the forthcoming OS. The shots in the read link are supposedly from Windows 7 M3 Build 6780, and to be honest, it doesn’t look a tremendous amount different than Vista. Oh, and keep the source linked bookmarked — the author has promised videos shortly. Mmm, videos.

A heaping handful of fresh alleged screen shots of S60 Touch’s user interface are floating around, apparently yoinked off the platform’s PC-based theme editor — not as cool as if they’d been lifted from a Tube, granted, but still good enough to give us some clutch insight into where Nokia’s taking this thing. As revolutionary as the move to touch control might be for S60 as a platform, the UI looks shockingly evolutionary so far; in fact, to the untrained eye, there are portions that are virtually indistinguishable from S60 revs of yore. That’s good news (we suppose) for S60 diehards who aren’t interested in learning a new paradigm — and we’re all for the VGA support here — but it’s bad news for anyone who was planning on having their noodles positively baked by Espoo’s engineering manpower and massive R&D budget. Let’s all just hold off on the negativity until Nokia gives us something official to ogle; for the time being, though, our boring UI-dar is definitely on high alert.

After some exhaustive research invested by one iSmashPhone, it seems like that now-infamous “Enable 3G” screen shot supposedly lifted from a recent iPhone firmware 2.0 beta was mocked up. The spirit of the shot mercifully lives on, though, seeing how the existence of the underlying preferences to support the enabling of 3G data has been independently verified in the code — we just don’t know exactly what form that preference is going to take in the user interface. Bottom line: fret not, there’s still a 3G iPhone on the way, it’s probably going to be here within mere weeks, and odds are you’ll be able to control whether high speed is enabled, just like virtually every other 3G phone on the market. So if you’re looking for a random reason to crack open a celebratory beer right now, well, there you have it. Drink responsibly.
