The new Windows Phone 7 is miles ahead of his predecessor Windows Mobile. If you are familiar with the Zune interface you will be at home with Windows Phone 7. The interface is clean and appears pretty easy to use. Windows Phone 7 is very integrated with social and web services such as Facebook, Bing search, Bing Maps, and photo cloud services. All of the in phone and in the cloud services are tightly integrated with one another. The music and video apps are just like they are on the Zune player. You will also be able to download content from the Zune store over Wi-Fi or 3G. There will be an app hub coming soon which will have applications like games. In the near future they will also be releasing Windows Office Hub, which will be programs like Word, and OneNote but made for the phone. This future will probably integrate closely with Windows Office 2010 on your computer which has show off some share options itself. Of course there will be the typical apps like e-mail, calendar and Bing Maps. Internet Explore on the phone is much cleaner and user-friendly than any of their earlier versions. Microsoft said there will be many more futures that they did not show at the Mobile World Congress 2010, which hopeful will make this phone ever more user-friendly and easy to use. Despite quite a few bugs in the prototypes that they show off at the show, the phone as a very big potential to do well in the phone market coming later this year.
