Design Critique

Nokia Lumia Mobile Interface

The Good Stuff
1) The main menu looks amazing. Big tabs.  Icons are Easily accessible. Colorful. Updates visible on the tab. No need to tap on it. It is really well designed I should say. And its different. Nothing like Android or iPhone menus. Good job!

It is easy to see that the designers have taken into account all the key aspects of a mobile interface.

Easy accessibility, Not too crowded, visibility. It hits the spot. The tiles are customizable as well. Any icon can be placed anywhere on the screen. There is an option to select tiny size icons for not so frequently used items and large icons/tiles for frequently used items.

2) Image rendering : This is where Lumia gets better. The images are rendered really well on the screen. Background images with text on them also look good.

Note the consistency in the theme. It derives from the tile based main menu. The sensitivity for zoom in, zoom out is perfect. +1 for feedback.  Works!
