Any alternative ideas to fullscreen popup-messages?

[Michael 'Mickey' Lauer]

Let's distinguish two types of popup-dialogs:

a) informative (i.e. battery low, incoming sms, sms sent)
b) confirmative ("Mickey calling. Answer / Ignore / Reject?", "Do you
want to remove all contacts?")

Right now, we're leaning towards (ab)using the bottom status bar (in
openmoko-language called 'footer') for informative dialogs and using
half screen (480x320) popup dialogs for confirmative.

What do you think?
