I've been waiting for this! Really liked SPB 2 but was not satisfied with certain features, limitations. Was getting impatient for 3, tried PointUI Home 2 once it finally launched, and while it's really a slick and user friendly interface, it seems to be a memory-hog, gobbling up almost half of my available RAM on my XV6800. Toyed with Winterface (too limited and cludgy), even tried simple HTC Home plugin (clean and efficient, was willing to settle on that until SPB 3 came out).

Now SPB 3 is out, and first impressions are very good. Seems to combine all the best features of SPB 2, HTC Home and PointUI Home 2. So far, haven't found any significant negatives.

i have been using it this entire weekend. So far i love this app its fast and very effective at what it does. Does not hog much memory at all. The only downfall i have is switching from portrait mode to landscape is a little slow, but other than that i love this app sooooo much. I will use this as my main home screen now probably untill i get a new phone. Then i will probably use it on that phone also lol.

I upgraded from MS2 to MS3. With MS2, after I woke the phone up, I was always returned to the Now screen. Under MS3, I don't get returned to the home screen when the phone wakes up. I get the same screen that was up when I put the phone to sleep.

Settings, Today, Items, Today Timeout is disabled, as before.

Are you getting returned to the home screen or are you returned to where you where previously? I'm trying to figure out if this got hosed in the upgrade.

Thanks!

i like 2.1.5 currently installed
but i made a fully custom "my menu" which involved extensive copying of registry entries between the two spb folders
i dont think i can sacrifice that not knowing if "my menu" could be copied back into the new folders and work
i used many of the built in menus in my custom one and i'm sure some of those numbers are going to change
bah
it looks nice...i'll probably do it
