i voted for beautiful, because there is not an "OK" option.
its not ugly, but not perfect, thats why they should add the possibility for custom UI's.
lets hope that our opinions on this poll reach microsoft..

I-NEED-TEH-COLORZ
Seriously, those black-white or white-black or black-blue and similar are very well working, but not eyecandy as I like (I was editing 4 hours icons in Manila rather than using stock gray ones!)
Some nice orange and (TMobile branded WP7 phone? PINK!) other colors would be better and IMHO better readable than that blue.

WM6.5.x or more than that the abandoned photon, rebuilt with silverlight and XNA support would have been my best preference.
Not the present W(I)Phone.

HTC has very gorgeous design. They really invested a lot of time making different animations, especially weather.
rosoft on the other hand choose very different approach
MAKING OS LOOK UNFINISHED. I GOT A FEELING THAT DESIGNERS COULDNT CHANGE THE FONT TO FIT THE SCREEN
they also didn't capitalize any words like the month or the day

Same here. In addition, 2K files in LUA
eek, without APIs, no hooks or placeholders for anything third-party/additional isn't the right way to do homescreen UI. I loved to use Sense because it was better than anything available but it sucked in more than one way.
Windows Phone 7 is the most stupid system I have ever seen !
Is Microsoft is so stupid ? I wonder !
-No Support for any devices before !
-No Multitasking ! after multitasking was the mark of Microsoft !
-No Copy... Cut... Paste ! What more ? maybe no writing on the future !
-No UI Customization from companies ! They want you to stuck on the stupid UI which it doesn't show the full name of menu ! for God sake tell me what is the beauty of menu you can't see the full name of it ? what a Smart !
The World is going to forward and Microsoft is going to dark ages !

I really believe the Zune OS being retrofited for smart phones is a waste of time. After the phones begin to roll out and people actually get hands on experience and the hype fades. This entire concept will go down in flames. Windows Phone 7 Series can no longer be classified as a smart phone, they will simply be mutimedia phones. What this boils down to is Microsoft using the Zune OS as a way to generate more revenue through Zune Pass.
I go to a store and buy music on CD with high quality audio then convert to a high quality mp3 and then put it on my phone. I don't buy crappy low quality mp3's from Zune or any other source.
Guess I'll be jumping ship to Android until Microsoft gets it head out of the sand.

For all the fawning over the UI, i feel like I am in the minority saying this, but I think the looks are some of the worst I have ever seen.
Aside from the entire thing lacking any personality (plain, borring squares), I cannot stand how the layout scrolls over one or more pages. I can't believe that nobody else minds the text being unreadable as it falls off the edge or the bottom of the page, but it drives me batty.
Sure, 6.5 really does have its flaws; but it also really feels like what a good PDA device should feel like - a miniaturized computer. Just from looks alone, i know that any old 6.5 (or 6.1) device i have kicking around will be infinitely more productive that this new 7 junk...

I would have voted beautiful, but I chose beatiful instead since beautiful wasn't a choice
I love the way the UI uses lots of big-sized words instead of icons/symbols. I love the big and active tiles constantly providing information. The big tiles should be an easier target to touch while on the go also. The WP7 UI kind of reminds me of Windows Media Center on the desktop. I don't really care for the light blue/green, but I'm sure I'll be able to change it to something sexier.
I've used the Sense Leo ROM on my TP2 and while sense is very pretty looking, I find it to not be very productive. I have to do too much pressing and sliding to get to what I want to get to. I ended up going back to the regular Titanium interface after about a month just so my phone use could be more efficient. I like being able to get to different parts of my phone quickly. All the WP7 UI needs is some transparency and animated backgrounds that change during the day. Even the Sense weather animations would be cool.

I liked the OS as such, but with these limitations that even the normal consumer uses, I have a new landscape home page for the WP7...the donkey tiles....
It has no landscape mode for the home screen!! OMG one more no-go for me.
Anyway, it looks good but it doesn't work cause it's crippled like a stupid iPhone.
