Getting rid of the right arrow/tease in Windows Phone
While I like alot about my WP, I still just get annoyed by the UI design of taking over 10% of the right side of my screen with a little arrow, or tease of the content that is to the right. To me it just seems like it really clutters up what is otherwise a very clean interface, in addition to taking up precious space on a small, handheld device.

This is a mockup combining Nokia's Meego with WP. I think the use of curves and an icon grid arn't really necessary or fit into the rest of the WP aesthetic, but I do really like the integration of the "swiping" paradigm that Meego introduced. To me, the center photo here just looks so much more pleasant and calm, than the constantly off-center UI in so much of the current WP.
Elop has strongly suggested that the swiping idea in Meego will be making its way to WP, and it does seem to fit in well with the edge swiping that is in Windows 8, so this could be something that actually comes true.
Does the side tease bother any other WP users out there?
Would some people prefer the current UI, rather than just having dots (or the non-round version of dots) showing which swipe-able page you are on, on the top of the screen or something?
