Dialer view facelift
The current dialer screen layout has a few issues:
- The delete button is at the top, which is nice semantically but not ideal ergonomically
- The button being next to the phone number entry means it can hold fewer digits, and also makes it look a bit off-balance
- The grid of rectangular buttons is a bit heavy visually. @sam.hewitt played with round buttons in a web mockup, which would help a lot with this
- The phone number entry uses the regular UI font size, which makes it look quite small for something so important. Other phone OSes use significantly larger sizes here.
- The phone number looks a bit odd left-aligned
Some suggestions to make it nicer:
-
Centering the phone number -
Making the phone number larger -
Moving the delete button to the bottom -
Rounding all buttons, and making the grid buttons circular -
Making the call button a bit less wide
