I currently have a Q9H myself, with 6.1 on it. It is a step in the right direction and I think its one of the best MS based phones available.

That said, I still think the UI has been long neglected (even more than mobile media player?) and I don't think it is because they nailed it the first time. I think it is a product of what they knew and trying to develop a mobile computing market and it was sufficient for the times. Now, 12 years later, a lot of it's (mobile platform) focus has changed, the market has changed, and the hardware has changed. I think it's time for a major modernization of the overall UI.

There has been bluetooth mouse support and integrated mouse pads to try to make the UI a little more palatable in today's times. HTC has gone to great lengths to try and modernize it themselves. I think people (especially us kinda peoples, lol) are eager to purchase applications to optimize their homescreens or just hack it themselves, to try to squeeze as much onto them as possible. Why, because on the fly in a pinch, it's not the most intuitive UI to muddle through. Certainly not complicated, just not intuitive. Some items are directly off the Start menu, some are nested in other folders, some are double and triple nested! Some features are a menu option or sub menu option (many phone settings are sub sub sub menu options!), other features are MIA unless you add them or the phone manufacture or service provider includes them (task manager, close applications, etc).

Overall, its a great OS and the one I prefer. I just want them to keep up with the times better.
