Right. If you like looking at the ugliness that is pre-iPhone Google search for mobile: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/google-search/5b...

Even in their own app!

We did not get proper, modern-looking iPhone-style touch-optimized mobile search results from Google for well over 20 months while Windows Phone 8 was fully capable (thanks to not using IE6) of displaying such touch-optimized CSS. I know, Googling or using Google services was IMPOSSIBLE on my incredibly modern Lumia 920 in January 2013. They just never bothered to optimize for any touch whatsoever and treated the platform as many companies did, like Windows Phone 7, and not something modern and new.

It wasn't until Windows Phone 8.1 that IE11 began pretending to be an iPhone -- and oh look, search finally works (design-wise) if you use other providers than Bing! I re-tested before performing the 8.1 upgrade -- to this day, they still think Windows Phone 8 has not evolved from Windows Mobile days.
