The "experts" would say that the phone does not "get out of the way", because of this messy typography thing and the minimum of three hardware buttons required for navigation.

One thing that I noticed is that whilst the interface would like to be one without boundaries they can't get away from it. (See screenshot: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/02/7serie...).

The person's name stops abruptly a little bit below the title "eople." ;)

Seeing how it consistently happens on the horizontal, I think it's by design. It probably tries to suggest with some degree of subtility that the UI goes on in that direction.

It'd do good to subtly suggest what parts of this typographic info-graphic are tappable.
