I miss Windows phone, still the most intuitive phone UI I’ve ever seen.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Microsoft: “I think we really nailed this phone UI. We should make this the desktop computer experience too.”

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Ok my god. I had an Samsung Omnia 7 and I loved the Metro UI.

Remote Desktop to a Windows 2008 Server and try to open the Start Menu by clicking a single pixel in the left lower corner... Shoot me.

Qnx had a lot of features before windows phone in 2013.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

They both copy from webOS anyway, at the end of the day. That webOS from Palm was way ahead at the time but lacked the hardware and Carrier support needed to succeed.
