    Now haters gotta hate but I gotta say my point. I love BlackBerry 10 more than anything but it seems slightly dull. Everything is dark and sad. I don't like apple's flashy colors either but something in between?

    Yes...it's called a dead battery. you can change your theme to white. But you will lose battery faster.

    Put a nicer background, the app icon shadows should be gone in the next update too. Should make things pretty nice

    Everybodys different I guess. The minimalistic, simple, "dark" approach is something which I love and was one of the deciding factors when I was deliberating between iPhone, Android and Blackberry. BB10 is not distracting me with flashy things and I find it very elegant.

    Change your wallpaper perhaps?
    I actually like how it looks. But wouldn't say no to the return of themes!

    I know but I'm saying overall it's a little boring and not what buyers might go for. Mind you, I love my phone and its os

    Thanks for sharing this with us and adding to the collective knowledgebase of the Internet. I now know that you can't really decide what you like.

    If by "drab" you mean "professional and grown up" then I agree.

    Yes because apps look so much different on what ever platform they're on... Lol

    I agree with Benjamin_NYC.. the look of BB seems more professional and grown-up. Personally I am not a fan of Apple's design choices... there's something about it that really turns me off. In the case of Android, well.. you have a lot more customization options, so I can't really criticize anything there.

    I did not write drab. A mod did that. I said dull which is a little different

    Here's a possible suggestion.. install the leaked OS 10.2.1 and download Nova Launcher.

    BlackBerry is flat. WP is flat. Android went flat. iOS went flat, but with colorful, flashy animation.

    Next "innovation" in GUI design will be GUI's that look 3D... again!

    And don't get me wrong but I think we should be able to create it slightly flashier

    I do agree that it looks "professional and grown up", but I wonder if perhaps that's part of the problem. Maybe it needs a little bit of pizazz to help draw people in, though I think there are many other pressing issues BlackBerry should solve first before thinking about this.

    Well I believe there is a reason they bought TAT. Honestly look at the BB Express app. I feel like that is the kind of design that is going to come with 10.3 (based on rumors).

    Ya, to each its own I guess? I don't think I'd stray from the dark theme even when other themes become available. Just seems classier in my opinion.

    Agree. Dark theme is excellent. I'd like it to cover more of the OS.

    Actually this is quite a major issue which has hit sales significantly.

    The TAT team were heavily restricted on the innovation they were allowed to bring to the User Interface.

    This very conservative approach made the platform look dull, boring and very similar to the other platforms.

    A real lost opportunity as TAT could have brought a real wow factor to BB10.

    Sadly, they have now lost most of the top developers from the TAT team....
