I think Nokia and Windows Phone 7 is a bit late. When everyone is busy with their iOs, Android, or Blackberry. They still wait until 2012 (or late 2011) to release their smartphone. But, regardless their late release, I found some interesting features that no other smartphone have. Let’s take a look.
There’s 3 things that Windows Phone is focusing on :
-
Easier Communications
What I personally like from this is the Threads thing Windows develop. Not only threaded view of SMS message, they bring all kind of conversation integrated in one simple place. So, your conversation with someone via text, facebook chat, windows live messenger will be integrated in one place. The other features in this is like Groups, that we can organize contacts into one Live Tile so that any update of that group will be easily viewed in Live tile. Deeper social network integration, in Live Tile, Facebook, Twitter, and Linked feed are integrated in People Hub. Linked Inbox, few email can be managed in one inbox. Also, it can be viewed as conversation, just like outlook. And finally, Hands-free messaging, built-in speech to text dan text to speech to make your driving use safer and more convenient
