It's funny but it actually does.

Looks atrocious imo, stuff is just everywhere, and it completely lacks the simplicity and elegance of WP7. Also doubt it looks half as good in use - those WP7 tiles twinkle and 'delight', and they look damn impressive.

They "delight"?

I get it, you like MS and WP7, I am guessing you may even be on a dev team or such by how much of a zealot you are.

But saying a screen element "delights" is a bit too "It says so in the press release I just read" to be taken seriously.

Moreover, you've seen this customisation of Android in use to make such claims?

yeah but it actually does look a little messy in terms of typography choice and resolution... =/ WP7 looks much cleaner, comparing screenshots, which is, granted, the only comparison I can do right now but... I don't think the typography and resolution are much better in use...

But it's a nice try and a good idea. Only not perfectly executed. But as long as the user likes it and enjoys using his device... everything is nice and peaceful...

I can't be bothered at the moment, but you can be damn sure Android can twinkle and delight better than WP7 ;)

And I think that depends solely on personal taste...

My EVO 4G arrived yesterday, and well it's awesome. I rooted with unrevoked right after I activated it.

ROM: Warm TwoPoint Two

Widgets (left to right): HTC messages widget, BattStatt, HTC Desire HD clock (actually flips), Default Android music, Power Control, News & Weather

Is that the default launcher for the Evo 4G? Dayum, that's much nicer than my default launcher.

I always love what you do with your Android. Really, great style, sense for typography, colors and proportions and overall just very stylish. If only everyone would make use of the Androids capability of total customization that well...

[Robbie Khan Reviews]

Thanks instant.human!

I guess this is why Android is a perfect platform for varying tastes, everything is subjective too of course!

I placed 'delight' in single quotes exactly because it is the PR term for the animations effect, and their intended effect (see WP7 Design Days - Animation). PR term or not, it achieves its intended effect - when unlocked, the start screen does all kinds of little things that really do add up to a dynamic screen that does twinkle and delight. It's a bit of an airy term, but it's appropriate.

It's a part of this ROM.

Slight update!

what launcher/theme are you using? And that wallpaper if you don't mind sharing... Very elegant mobile desktop. I've had a stock Galaxy S (Vibrant) for a couple weeks and am now ready to get theme crazy lol

[Robbie Khan Reviews]

No themes, all mods are custom via DeFrost ROM and the circle battery kitchen (XDA devs forum).

The Launcher i LauncherPro and the icons are my own, the wallpaper is a black wood one I found: http://robbiekhan.co.uk/root/temp/Black%20Wood%20Plain%202.jpg

Still figuring out what tweaks work with iOS4.

That's the coolest and best looking iphone interface I've ever seen... It almost makes me wanna sell my HTC Desire and replace it with an iPhone 4, but that ain't gonna happen since I love Android and my HTC Desire to much :)
