Default I like Motoblur

I don't know why everyone hates on motoblur. I love it on my D2G, its quite fast and the builtin weather widget is nice.

You may be the only person to ever admit to liking blur. That must have taken some balls to post.

I like it too, you will be surprised how many people do. It is just those who don't making too much noise of it.

For me blur dialer, contacts, messaging, social networking integration is something that makes UI streamlined for my daily use. I hear good things about the "new blur" coming with the GB update and I can't wait to try it.

I gave it its fair try but I finally ended up using go launcher ex and freezing whatever blur thing I could. I did for a while use fission and liked it but could not input the sim unlock code on it so I stayed with the original.

I used it for about 9 months before learning how to root and change ROMS. It was buggy, lots of forced restarts, etc. That built in weather widget is crap too, doen't update very well. Since switching to Liberty I've been happy as a clam. This runs much faster and next to zero bugs.

Then again in the case of a bug there's ways to report it to the developer and get something fixed rather quickly.

Odd, I've never had any of those issues, and my phone runs smooth.

Huh. I must have simply gotten used to whatever the system in my old Droid 1 had. Like being able to sort and display contacts by last name first name.

I can appreciate that there are users that like the blur apps, but I think they "blur" the line between true smartphone fuctionality and older pda-like phones.

disclaimer: I carried pdas around for almost 10 years before smartphones.
