Although Microsoft in February has laid out strict restrictions for Windows Phone 7 UI customizations by OEMS, HTC says its custom software, which it calls “Sense”, will live on, even on Windows phones 7 in some way. Drew Bamford, who heads HTC’s user experience design team, said HTC is applying Sense to its first Windows Phone 7 devices, which are expected to launch in October.

On Left you can see one of the expected layouts of Sense UI for WP7, which looks prettyintegrated and  sleek.

“Microsoft has taken firmer control of the core experience [in Windows Phone 7], but we can still innovate,” Drew Bamford, head of HTC’s user experience design team. According to him, the forthcoming version of Sense would be quite different from the solution present on the company’s current Windows Phone 6.5-based devices. The existing Sense was designed to integrate with most of the platform’s core apps. “We won’t be able to replace as much of the core Windows Phone experience, but we will augment it,” Bamford says

HTC research is working on new and innovative ideas for SmartPhone UI as part of flexible rollouts and some of these features have rolled out overseas. HTC’s Wildfire phone, which is available in Europe and India, sports a widget that lets users recommend applications to friends. Bamford says HTC plans to incorporate the function into other phones.
