(don't panic, the PDF is still in English).

The video itself looks interesting, but all the Swedish I got so far comes from the assembly instruction of my furniture.

Strange that Microsoft of all companies has decided to take this drastic approach to the design of a phone when compared with Windows Mobile and

 

The main problem I see is how do you know where you are and how do you know what your navigation options are? It feels like every screen you visit you have to "explore" to find a particular function, rather than having a menu bar (such as the icons at the bottom of iPhone/Android) to find the appropriate screen of functionality for a certain task.

 

Personally I love typography too (one of the things which frustrates me about Windows Cleartype snapping to pixel boundaries rather than rendering as the font designer intended), however I feel that the heading text being partially cut off on nearly every screen is a little messy. I think I would feel frustrated looking through a display at a large piece of content. Deep zoom might help with this.

 

Also, the ability to write managed C# apps for the phone is awesome, however from what I have seen this looks extremely consumer focused. Everything demonstrated so far is about social networking rather than productivity. I think we need some sample implementations of typical applications to show developers how to use this "language" and how they can acheive simple tasks such as displaying lists, where to put buttons, etc.
