Windows Phone 8 start screen gets a facelift with free-moving, resizable tiles

Yes it not looking bad at all. Now what type of integration will it have with the new Xbox that is coming out in late 2013?

This is all great but please show me the new phones already.

I don't think so in my opinion. If you have every tile a different color then it will look like a frickin rainbow. I'm sure they will be going for a central colored theme. As long as they can make the icons and live tiles work WITH the mono-colored tiles then it will definitely work. They sort of dug themselves into a hole with colored tiles though. Better dig out or make it work for you.

i see your point. but i was speaking of

for example:

how the XBOX tile is "always" GREEN
how the One Note tile is "always" PURPLE

basically the standard apps have a default color
email; messaging; phone; music; photos; etc

the rest of the apps in the "Marketplace" could all be the same color how it is now.

its still a WIN for me because i'm not to big on customization it takes up too much time to always want to change a background/widget/screen/ROM or whatever.

Wow, so much animosity/hate towards WP8. Why are people getting thumb downs?

Looks like some people don't have anything better to do with their lives. lol

I love Android & even I can say this is great news for all Windows Phone fans.

i agree with you SAE...

it seems we all are WINDOWS Phone from the core but once the game changed we all went separate ways

windows phone 8 seems like it'll put the flames out a bit and cause us to get along more on PA because of common interests.

Resizable widgets are cool but I find it on wp8 messy
Look at their home screen !
But they should keep the app drawer and not forcing us to put tiny tiles on my home screen
Added function are cool but still love wp7.5 more
I wonder how 7.8 will look like ?
