Freestyl is a familiar-looking, finger-friendly interface for Windows Mobile.  Built upon Flash Lite and the .Net Compact Framework, Freestyl aims to be more than just an iPhone clone, but at this early stage, while promising, suffers from some flaws that will make it hard to prove as the interface of choice for the casual Tilt user.  Find out more after the break.

The great thing about Freestyl is how customizable it is, including a configuration interface that allows you to visually select which button to edit.  Buttons can either launch applications, web pages, or dial contacts, and contain custom labels and icons (selectable from a decent list).  Each page has 12 buttons, with five pages to choose from.  The bottom row of icons are not customizable yet, unfortunately, and neither is the last launcher page.  This doesn’t take away from how easy it can be to customize Freestyl, and its configuration applet makes it the best “finger-friendly” interface in this regard.
