Default Good grief - someone else who remembers a Velo!

I think I've got one in a closet somewhere, from when the company I was working for evaluated several devices by having a group of us pass them around. When the music stopped I was left with the Velo - which I haven't used since.

As much as I like the finger-friendly navigation, they've also got to be prepared to scale the text on the screen so you can actually read more than 5 words. I've just spent a ridiculous amount of time looking for a (free) photo dialer for the Today screen of my Touch Pro2 - all of the older ones give you these impossibly tiny icons, because they were built for lower-res systems. I've found one for cheap but not free. And no, I don't want SPB Mobile Shell - too much stuff and clutter, and I know just what I want on the home screen all at once.

But the smaller scale is what you need for really reading something - think Kindle in your phone. eReader gets it about right, but I'm nearsighted enough that I take off my glasses to read small text, and it actually makes the reading more pleasant to be able to scan more than a sentence.
