That´s the reason, why windows phone will die... too much unnecessary limitations and no chance for an individual style...just the ability for changing the neon colors and to move the tiles around. Too less for user with experience... and the hacks also are not satisfying. I see no future for these phones. I´ve bought after one year without WP7 again one, but after three weeks i´m so disappointed about the changes and the slow development. MS has no interest in this system, because WP8 is on the start. And it will be again a new episode of hopes without getting really improvements for users with more wishes. The concept is for older people and very boring, if you use it longer than a few months - the desk style is for teenagers... a little bit "Kindergarden". There have been concepts like transparence effects for the tiles with background pictures... much more elegant....nothing was realized, too much limitations. No Folders in the long start menu and so on. Also this thing here... no equalizer app... that´s not a modern phone.
My next phone is HTC One X... i think, this is a really good development from HTC. It will be my 25th smartphone/ pocket PC... the best until now was the HTC HD2. But the prettiest was the Dell Venue Pro (i know - it´s my personal taste).
