[citation][nom]PreciousL[/nom]Wow that is terrible! Imagine being in an emergency situation like a car crash and having to play the bubble game to be able to call for help. Not only would this interface get old quick, it is potentially dangerous.[/citation]
You could have one huge "dial 911" bubble while others could be smaller.

- Its optional

- When there is a car crash, especially a major one, (A) you will most likely NOT find your phone, it could be in the trunk or 50 feet from the car and destroyed. (B) Other people with phones will call 9-11. (C) injury and shock may prevent you from using a phone anyway. (D) if you can't handle the bubbles, you can't unlock the phone anyway.

Android's unlock puzzles (at least with Samsung) is pretty good and very much the same thing, I would like to see expanded more. Currently, it'll unlock to SMS or missed call (goes to call log).

But it sometimes wants way too long of a swipe to unlock. I would like a swipe that ALWAYS goes to the phone log as well as the phonebook.

In Nokia N8 u have two way to unlock, one is this bubbles and other is slide unlock which u have to just push down.
So if u want to quickly unlock u can use the slider to unlock and if u wanna play with those bubble shortcut and to unlock etc. u can press the menu key when locked.
