I've been using SPB the last couple of days as well. I really like it so far, particularly for some of it's built-in panels/widgets and it's folders.
I'm keeping my eye on Claystone Launcher as well - the first launcher I've tried that genuinely feels different in the way you navigate your phone - but the current version is a bit too buggy for my taste. They've announced a new version for Thursday, so I'll probably see what has improved.

You have an actual button for emergency calls? I'm 34 and I've never had to make a single emergency call in my life - but I guess in worst case scenario being able to do so in a split second could come in handy :).

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit and if wit was sh1t you'd be chronically constipated. :D

Seriously though, it's not there through any design of my own but I suppose it could come in handy... someone else could call for help if I hadn't had the foresight to show them the unlock pattern. :)
 
I've downloaded the go locker, but when I press the home screen button, it just goes back to the home screen, so it doesn't act like a normal lock screen. Any help please?

How's your battery running that? I've been tempted as it looks great but it also looks a bit of a power hog.

(Edit: I didn't notice your post was aimed at Rudedawg's screenshot, since we both posted images from SPB launcher :). Anyway, below are my experiences.)

I started having battery issues in general a couple of weeks ago. The first two months or so I had the phone it would drain almost exactly 1% battery per hour on idle, but then for no apparent reason it went up to around 3% per hour.
Running SPB Launcher doesn't seem to have had any noticeable impact on that, and I also tried comparing it to Go Launcher during active use, where the difference also seems negligible (which is to say I didn't really see any apparent difference here either during my tests).

I've installed Battery Monitor Widget Pro, which keeps highly detailed stats of calculated battery drain. During idle (screen off, phone in sleep state) it will usually draw anywhere between roughly 30 and 90 mA. During active use it can be from a little over a hundred mA to 300+ mA depending on what I'm doing.
I've also looked through other aspects of the stats to see what can explain the higher use during idle compared to until a few weeks ago, but nothing stands out as unusual in terms of CPU time or phone awake time.

But regardless of homescreen launcher preferences and battery number crushing, I'm now simply counting on a daily recharge with typical use.
 
I like the idea of a Fox-Hound ROM but unfortunately there is nothing Fox-Houndey about it.
Will probably get that 3d launcher with the Kitchen bar, that looks great, the standard launcher we have is so 2008 and it's starting to bother me (along with the silly battery icon), such a powerful phone should flaunt it's ability at least a little.
