I tend to be a pretty tough critic of Windows Mobile but even I have to admit that the new unlock screen looks really good. It might be a blatant rip-off from Apple but at least this time around they improved on an idea.

First, the slider is on the top of the screen so after you unlock you have to move your hand to see the screen.
Second, the sliders look too small and close together to use your thumb when unlocking the phone with one hand. Be honest, how many times are both your hands free so you can use your index finger to look at your phone?
Have they even used an iPhone? You can see the last notifications on the iPhone without unlocking it.
I will admit the iPhone is missing some minor things, but at least they think through the stuff that is there.
One nice thing about the Windows Mobile phone is that it will probably be WAY CHEAPER, so you won’t feel as bad throwing it away.
