First off I want to say I like the look 6.5. It does have an updated feel to what we (windows mobile) are currently using.
I don't buy how it is being pitched. If it is true that it is easier to hit a circle/hexagon shape than a square one, then why didn't they change the start menu, volume and X button. If you can't hit a program or settings icon with your finger, then you surely can't be expected to hit the start button. I've had a pocket pc since 2000 and I don't think, nor have I heard anyone complain about hitting the wrong program icon. You can argue about how the hexagon system is more efficient, but two halves doesn't make a whole in this situation. The old system displays more icons in the same amount of space.
I've played with but didn't buy an iphone, and at this point don't see buying one in the forceable future. I love the today screen. Being able to see my next appointment and tasks when I first turn my phone on is what I like. If I was looking for an ipod phone, I would probably druel over the iphone. What the iphone does have is a nice UI.
Windows Mobile does need an updated look. The fact that they haven't updated the calculator boggles my mind. Improving the UI along with the trend to release phones with better screens will help. Finally, make me trust the my alarm will go off for the time I set it. Although I haven't had problems with my Touch, I still wouldn't rely on it to wake me up if I had a interview!
Just my 2 cents
