actually, i think the WM UI is pretty good for its intended purpose. It is bad if you want a finger friendly UI, but that was not the intention. WM is about showing as much info as possible, offering as many functions as needed and having it accessible by hardware keys/keyboards and a stylus. pointing with a stylus is more precise, hence the controls can be smaller, hence you can fit more info on the screen. the iPhone gets away easier with it, because of the bigger screen, the simplified functions and by showing less info on single screens. compare the iPhone calendar to a powerful PPC alternative like Agenda Fusion or Pocket Informant.

for a device with keyboard and a small screen, WM has a pretty nice GUI.
