i found the ui intresting..
i would like to report some of the stuffs i missed to see in it
1.i tried phone call,it works. but incoming very low volume for it, i got into settings and i saw wallpaper theme and sounds...but inside the personalisation option there is no sounds option.
2.appling the preinstalled theme meego dont contrast,and hence writtings are not seen.
3.when the switch off/on button pressed nothing sprouts out as it is in maemo.
4.xterminal doesnt respond to root or any other commands given in maemo xterm.
5.no status bar; hence no easy access to profile, bluetooth and others as provided in maemo.
6. bluetooth device not found even though it is on and is visible.
7.keybord doesnt light up. that really is annoying..
over all i will rate meego DE as 2.5 out of 5..it has a future..but still there are things to be worked on.

Sadly the "class" rating is based on speed measurements that don't really correspond to the kind of random access of an OS running on such a card, so it's only a rough estimation of *probably* how fast the microSDHC cards would be for a MeeGo install.

I am much impressed by the result so far, but not so impressed that I can let the DE edition replace my normal phone.

Contributing, then. Jeez, where to start ? There is so much to do. Important apps are needed then there is internationalization, responsiveness, like many others have already reported.

Nevertheless, I do not think that the CL10 cards make a big difference.
