Yes it does. Somehow when i press my home button i get the option of either touchflo or home. Not sure how i got it to do this though!
The home one is just the plain android screen..

I got that too, happens if you press and hold home to view running applications. Goes away if you tick the make default action box (until you press and hold home again)

Tis nice to have the option to do this but the fact that you can do it is clearly a bug. I've let HTC know about it (although they are probably following the forums anyway).

It's not a bug lol, the Sense UI home is simply a separate application to the original home instead of a replacement. like aHome, Dxtop etc etc.

also, holding the home button shows you recently run applications, not applications still running =)

yeah, it only seems to happen on the Orange and T-Mobile ones. It's not supposed to happen at all!

The Ui is indeed just an application, but it is supposed to run instead of the original Home and you aren't supposed to have access to it any more.

If this is the case are the phones faulty then? Do we ring and ask for new ones. ( mine is a bit worn now had it a week)
