This is the collection I'm using on my tmobile wing right now:

0. Pointui 1.51a

http://www.pointui.com/Home.aspx

This is the most complete UI replacement for WM IMHO. Besides the Home Task Bar gives users a feel of consistency when launching apps, settings, etc. The new version is much more stable than previous versions, and almost bug free, almost. Check pointui forum for more details.

Be aware! Most of these have *opposite* vertical scrolling than pointui. However I think pointui scrolling is SUPERIOR because I can scroll much faster

1. S2U2 - for full screen caller ID (indispensable) and lock, so when unlock it goes to whatever it was before locking instead of Home

Pointui theme:

The analog clock is exactly the same - looks almost unreal, and also can be customized by pointtweaks as the default lock program

2. S2P - music player, exactly like what Iphone has (too close to iphone than what I like)

3. S2V - picture viewer

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=358187

can be used with parameter such as "\storage card\my documents\my pictures" (without quotes) to open that directory on default, also use to assign pictures to contacts

The nice thing about the slide 2 series is their task bar has a similar look with pointui task bar, sweet!

4. ThumbCal

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=373971

can be customized as the default calendar and task manager using pointtweaks:

6. IPhone dialpad

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=380466

Really iphony... very nice and big buttons and very responsive. Caution: last number redial doesn't work, smart dial works after hiding keypad. Hey who needs last number redial when the pointui call history is SOooo... nice.

7. Touchpal

http://www.cootek.com/download.aspx

You can always use the free version of it. Big buttons, and tons of extra functionality (copy, paste, internet suffix, symbols, etc). Best for fat fingers like what I have.

Caution: you may need SIP changer to make it default after soft reset:

Not so finger friendly but still good enough with finger navigation:

1. Total commander

http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm

The most powerful file manager for WM, period. Using large icons it can be quite finger friendly, and with the combination of a touch-flo rom, no need for stylus. Also use as registry editor.

2. Opera Mini

http://www.operamini.com/

If you don't know what opera mini is then you're missing the good stuff. Works best with Esmertec Jbed:

Not so finger friendly at first glance but totally cool with pure finger operation.

Finger unfriendly software but still worth mentioning:

1. TCPMP

http://www.badongo.com/file/4055874

A project stopped a long time ago (because they went commercial, kinda like where pointui is leading). Good player for youtube and avi files when bundled with flashvideobundle

http://discussion.treocentral.com/showpost.php?p=1319431

However because d-pad works well during playback (up/down for volume, left/right for rewind/fast forward) therefore still handleable

2. QuickMenu

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=340358

Not finger friendly at all; but very powerful. Mainly use d-pad to operate but because it also has task manger function and assign OK to close programs, quite useful from day-to-day

I have also created folders in my windows\start menu so now programs of similar groups (office, internet, etc) gets put in their respective folder. This greatly reduced the clutter when trying to launch programs from either pointui or quick menu.

Now the only time I draw out the stylus is when I need to scratch on the note - finger just can't do that, at least not yet :)
