Few new features, plenty overhauled aesthetics. Wrong priorities.

Continuum is not a feature very many people will ever use.
Something like data sense which still doesn't allow you to navigate between periods of use is annoying enough.
Have they finally allowed other browsers to use their personal engines?
Will all browsers easily download in background without hassles?
Can individual developers make really good music players which stand alone?

I still haven't found a perfect music player on Windows phone, what can be more annoying?

Flashing little things like changes in UI in our faces as improvements is annoying.
Everytime a new build is released, I rush over to hear of which new feature there is, only to see something like change in calendar app UI!
Well, we shall see when it launches.

What I'm saying is they need to lessen their restriction alot.
There is No nice music player aside theirs!
No browser engine aside theirs!

Many will never cross over because there is no chrome, Firefox etc.

You skipped my post anyway.

It wasn't their fault.
Microsoft made their engine default for any developer.

We shall see as events unfold though.

That UI is the best in any platform today.
Tell me which OS can pin virtually any stuff to your homescreen, from bookmarks, to contacts from whatsapp, whatsapp groups, places on maps, novels, notes, folders from file manger.

Which OS can display info from any app on the homescreen?

Before you start screaming widget, how many widgets can you pin to your screen at a time?

Only unproductive people will hate on this homescreen or UI.
You're free to hate the OS, don't hate the homescreen abeg!

Home screens on android can contain almost all your widgets at a time, all you have to do is create another home page. It's not like you can see the entire contents on your Windows phone home screen all at once.

I understand why you talk down on widgets since you can never have it in the Windows phone UI, another plus for android.

Let's not forget Live wallpapers exclusive on android as well.

Did I mention the notifications panel the can be accessed anywhere on the android OS? I know Windows phone got a drop down panel but aside those boxes you ain't get shet unlike on android, that's got 'real time' notifications from apps & widgets. This feature is so cool even Apple had to copy it.
All the above features make the android home screen unique & loved despite it's not having your beloved boxes.

So you see my friend, all OS got about an edge or more over the others.

PS the most productive & undisputed UI goes to the BlackBerry OS, get your facts right

Try running 30 widgets on your droid and watch your phone slow down dramatically (few people have beastly hardware, remember?)
Meanwhile how is having several screens littered with widgets more consistent than having a simple page with all you need?

Did you read what I posted initially about pinning stuffs on my home screen? Now try pinning a bookmark from opera mini on some widget cheesy



How is the BlackBerry UI the most productive for God's sake?
Is it the Android like UI on the BB10 or the inefficient BBOS?

You can't access the drop down notification panel on Windows phone?
It's obvious you haven't touched a WP in eons cheesy else you would know WP OS now sports a notification panel these days.

Unlike you, I've played with all OS recently and I actually know what I'm saying. tongue

There is no doubt in this world, the most efficient home screen on any platform is the live tiles on WP.

Like I always say, you can hate on any WP aspect but the live tiles is something Android & iOS wish they had first.

I'm going to ask you this.
What do you think brought about the flat icon movement on all OS?

So are you're insinuating that you can view 30 plus live tiles on your phone? Oh please spare me the big big talk! Come to think of it, how many Windows phone apps come with active live tiles? Not just some coloured square icon, except you're mistaking the two.

Now you think Microsoft 'invented' flat icons too shocked obviously you've not done your research.

BlackBerry OS & services is judged the most productive due to its global adoption by the corporate world, this you don't achieve just because you have a flat UI but the acquisition and operation of secured servers, enterprise services etc

What makes you think one's preference for a particular OS automatically translates to hating others? Those are fan boyish ideology and am way grown for that. I choose android because it gives me a generality of what all the others are lacking including an openly customizable interface & it's free from restrictions (upon my own money). These days almost everyone has played around with multiple OSes and stick to what they like, as at now android is ahead because it's adopted by the majority, love it or hate it.

FYI You can add a bookmark from opera browser/mobile, UC browser/web etc to the homepage on android. It's not like it's a novel feature of the browsers since like forever. If you didn't know, asking around would have informed you rather than assuming.

Am done.
