I've been trying to illustrate how the next version of Facebook for Windows Phone might look, I have a feeling there's a new one coming soon and I felt like giving it a try myself too.
Nothing much to explain here, Facebook is trying to converge their desktop and mobile UI closer to each other (similar to what Twitter's been doing) so I tried to take that in to account as much as I could while preparing these. I added quite a bit of my personal preferences though, like big typography for the first names (my own account is only for my real friends) and getting rid of that huge redundant Facebook text.
I decided to choose Pivot control for rotating through different feeds and menu page as it made the most sense to me (Pivot is mostly used to filter data). User can customize the feed views (one to four pages) to their preferences. For example news feed, close friends, photos and games + menu page. No visual cues for the page titles because they were too distracting in my opinion.
Anyway, here are some pics:

If you want to try it in your device (only 800x480 though), QR codes can be found below the pics.
