The start up screen and home panel are luxuriously colorful and eye-catching, with plenty of space for Apps and a bar of necessities that have four places reserved for the Phone, Messaging, Contacts and anything else you may call a necessity at the bottom of the screen. When tapping the Apps icon, a visual list of all the phone’s apps pull up, from YouTube, to weather, to tip calculator to news and media, you can pick and choose which apps make it to your home screen, and swap them out when need be.
