                                        wp8 made boring looks. they dont want their user to become addicted with their phone, which is happening in android os. they want you have a real fun in real life. not sitting at the corner having fun with customization.

                                        You see how successful android made their user addict with their os? even version 4 to version 4.1 , they made their user believe that its a huge update. thats why those with version 4 are crying and force to buy one because they feel that their version is years behind.and promise the next one is smooth even though its just 4.0 , 4.1, .1.2, .2.2, i have read a lots of comments that Jelly bean update made their phone slow and lag. and now, here comes Lime pie, same marketing as jelly bean, the uber smooth solution.. again and again
