It might suit some people, but it doesn't suit the kind of searches I do from my phone. In visual terms, I preferred the formatting of the Google results. The text snippets were shorter, meaning you can see more on them on your phone screen and do less scrolling. The contrast of the colours is good, making the results easier to read (than, for example, the Yahoo! results). I also found the Google layout simpler and less ornate, and all the better for it. Cheers, Tony. I don’t like the new Google results, because it brought back images first, when I had no interest in them.
