Yes, Windows Phone was very cool, the home screen with the tiles was amazingly information-dense. I miss it too (still got the yellow Nokia device in a drawer somewhere...)
- Pxtl 5y agoBest thing about windows phone was how you could bundle together all the social media feeds for a single contact and see them all in one place or see all the social media feeds for all your contacts in a giant list. Using contacts as a shell for various contact information feeds was a brilliant idea and other plarforms should steal it. Let me take Messages and Email off my home screen and give unified feeds in my Contacts.
- DoctorDabadedoo 5y agoYup, loved the home screen, it had the right amount of available information and customization, coming from android back them I was very impressed by how slick the OS felt and how it didn't degrade over time even on entry devices. It was a pity it didn't get enough adoption/users/apps.
- rgoulter 5y agoThree features which I wish were copied from WP: - In the alphabetical lists, you could tap on each letter which would bring up a navigation grid of the letters. This made it really easy to jump to e.g. 't' with two coarse taps (compared to e.g. the fine tap which iOS requires to jump to a letter in the list). - A physical camera button. - The icon toolbars at the bottom of apps could be expanded; this let you see what each button would do without having to click on it or decipher the icon.
