Unhappy SPB Shell 3D

i've just installed SPB shell 3d on my ZTE blade, and i got to say it is a waste of money. It is very unpractical and useless. Sure it runs suprisingly fast and smooth on the blade (600mhz Cyanogen Mod 2.3) but it is very usless. Its just alot of eye candy and doesnt do much.
The WinMo 3.5 is much better! I am going to try it on my Tab, but just for fun. The SPB shell is a battery resource hog, and is very unpractical.

Share your opinions!

I liked it, but i only tested it ofr about 10 minutes.
But i believe you're right... should not be very practical.

Its pretty good imo. My wife have used it from the start and i have tried it out some. Its easy, runs smooth, nice widgets, nice folders and the battery life have if anything gone up.
Im hoping they will add some more widgets and make it tab friendly with landscape and some more settings.

I used it on and of, didn't like it at the start but is more or less getting use of it. Works better after the last upgrades and with a Heap size of 48 rather that 32.

I bought this app and after 1 month tried Go launcher and love it.
SPB has some nice effects but once you get over that you find it isnt as good as others sadly.

Really nice but unpractical launcher, but no chance it worths almost a tenner for a launcher
Sent from my ZTE-BLADE using XDA App

Nice, that's all there is to SPB Shell 3D. It sucks memory, reeeaaaalllly slow start at startup. Go Launcher is free and fast.

The concept is interesting, but it needs to adapt to many daily needs most users have.
Bling wise, it is awesome, but compare it to some other launchers, Go for example, and SPB lacks important features.
