in reality it’s simple and very minimalistic. Less clutter compared to android and iOS. The picture are just concept art.

Microsoft should ditch the $99 annual payment and make it a one shot payment. Seriously! you can’t compile your application even if you own the phone unless you’ve payeed for the $99 fee! Goodluck to that! That’s why there’s only a few apps out there in the Microsoft Store

I cannot agree more. I choose Windows Phone because of its minimalistic design and priority for information.

That proposed new start screen with that background is offensive to the eyes.

IMHO, most will reconsider to use WP if Microsoft considers below
1. flexible personalization (background, grid/list view, flexible tile size, etc. like the Symbian Belle FP2 and notification bar of Android/iOS) other than those than by OEM makers
2. the creation of many common apps for Win8/RT/WP/Xbox from Windows Store
3. many OEM phone selection from entry level to high specs to have a wide range of prices (feature phone, smartphone, phablet, tablet, hybrid PC, all in one, etc.)
4. guaranteed upgradeable to at least 3 future WPx versions
5. minimal memory footprint
6. support for full HD (1080p) resolution
7. Pureview HD camera like Nokia 808 (13MP or above)
8. true multitasking capability with minimal battery consumption (2 days without recharging is great deal of marketing)
9. rebranding to Surface or Slate or One or Multiverse :)
10. more freem intensive and complete development tools
11. strong local support among telecom providers
12. built-in cloud support other than Skydrive expanding more byte size
13. built-in back-up of paid apps to reinstall in case of factory reset, repair, etc.
14. support for new technologies on screen, connectivity (network/DLNA, multimedia, etc.), user input like pen/digitizer, exchangeable battery other than the model’s supported one

The above is other than the presently supported NFC, free voice navigation, LTE/WiFi (add an standard), etc.

This will do to change some appeal and consumer perspective in buying one.

That’s the ugliest home screen I’ve ever seen! There’s a reason customization is limited in Windows Phone.

Windows phone wag na lang. Siguro yung Jolla-Sailfish o kaya yung TIzen okay sa akin pero windows no way. Di naman sa ayoko ng windows ang panget lang kasi ng background check niya eh especially Steve Balmer na mahilig manira

they should make the os more open like android. high customization and developer support is what android has over windows phone
