Windows phone is stuck with a bland two tone theme with no wallpapers or images, just a color you can set and a black or white background, and it is all square and overly simplistic. All the hallmarks of a Kimmo UI. Kimmo is not too far away from the Nokia headquarters where the covert meetings commence, where Microsoft/Nokia CEO's Balmer and Elop grovel and asslick before him, begging for him to bestow his revelations onto the Win8 team. iOS and Android are just illegal clones with ugly bloat piled on. The joint legal team, spearheaded by Kimmo Alm will sue them for $100,000/Day.

And yet, it's better than Android's HURR MORE CLOCKS GUI.

We'll know for sure if Microsoft releases pointless updates every week and begins ranting about how it isn't making enough money. In the meantime, I have sent an email off to Microsoft requesting that they include snorkel mode in future versions.

Because open source. This is why modular design is a good thing.
But don't tell it to Wintards cause all you'll here is some BS about "fragmentation of the ecosystem," without any logical argument as to why fragmentation is automatically bad.

Half of the phones still don't have ICS, Honey comb is a tablet only version, most phones have Ginger bread tho most apps work on ICS only. And now with Jelly beans on it's way it'll be such a cluster fuck I'll be avoiding it like the pest. The "every 6 months a new version" pace is keeping me away from Android.
Also, about the WP UI... I thought sK did it, lol.

Fixed that.
> most apps work on ICS only
No lol
Anyone with a decent phone and half a brain can get ICS any time they want and not have to wait for a lazy manufacturer to get around to it.
I've had it for months on a phone that will probably never be "supported", and also on a tablet I know for a fact will never see ICS officially.

Erm. Pretty much all apps work on gingerbread and earlier. The only app in the market that I have encountered so far that only works on ICS is the Chrome browser beta.

Boo fucking hoo. You purchased a phone with an operating system on it. If you want a new os install it yourself or shut up and buy a new phone.
