I know the phone is a 700, but how can I get my 650 screen to look like that? Love the OS X skin, the phone buttons and everything... what apps do I need for this?

I know ZLauncher does similar stuff, but honestly I hate ZLauncher... I'm a LauncherX faithfull.

Also, whats that target mark at the top next to the bluetooth? and the other next to it?

The icon to the far left is the high speed network indication, the 2nd from the far left is the 9-1-1 privacy icon.

Guess it's something USA only... no idea what a 911 privacy is.

Hi:

It is actually called a Location Privacy Icon and the tie-in with 911 was mandated by the US Government. If calling 911 from a cellular device, the device must transmit a signal so the Enhanced 911 system can identify the exact location.

At least I think it has been mandated. Here is what the Palm manual has to say about it:

Location
Your Sprint PCS Vision Smart Device is equipped with a Location feature for use in
connection with location-based services which may be available in the future.
Currently the location information is used to help identify your longitude and
latitude position during an emergency call in areas where E-911 service is
available.
You can prevent your location information from being provided during all calls
except when you contact 911 in an emergency.

Big brother can watch....
