What apps do you have pinned in the “Pole Position” on your Start Screen?

posted on Jul 30th 2012 by

Just like no two snowflakes are alike, no two Windows Phone Start Screens are alike. There is an almost infinite amount of configurations that can be made with such a simple interface. That’s the beauty and elegance of the Windows Phone OS.

On the Start Screen there are 3 full rows of tiles that can be seen without any scrolling. These 6 tiles (give or take depending on double-wide tiles) are usually designated to the most used apps. A texting fiend would keep messaging right up top, and a socialite would keep Facebook and Twitter on top.

So what apps do you keep in the “pole position” on your Start Screen? Let us know in the comments! I’ll share mine below.

  1. Phone
  2. WinSource (coming soon!)
  3. GoVoice
  4. People Hub
  5. Me Tile
