Prove to me that you have a WP8, then I can start listening. I have used most popular OSes out there, Pocket PC, Windows Mobile, Android, iOS, WP7, and WP8.

I have tried many launchers, custom roms with themes on Android, and just about everything else on Android since Anddroid 1.5. Magic of Windows Phone is that it's a joy to use and Android is not a joy to use for me.

Android is very buggy compares to WP7, WP8 and iOS (iPhone 4S). I have had at least 6 Android phones. iOS and WP8 are much more reliable.

Point is, can you replace those tiles on Lumia 920... ifyou want something else? On Android it is very easy to completly change the user interface by installing a different free launcher from "Google Play! Lumia 920 looks identical to any other WP8 from HTC or Samsung or..., and any Android can looks almost identical to Lumia 920...!
Android is a far better OS!

wireless charging IS USELESS because every time the phone rangs, i must pick it up and disconnect the charging process as long as i talk. i will always charge my phone with a classic charger. never wireless !!! what is the point to not plug the charger directly, what is the use of this bullshit?

Not to mention the los along the way, for sure someone will soon measure the power efficiency of this and half of Germany and Denmarks population will take Nokia to court for having increased their powerbill.

Cancer plus higher electric bills, thats convenient enough for yah guyzz =)

Wireless charging is slower than using the charger cable directly to the phone!
