Whats new in Windows Phone 7.5 or aka Mango
Threads
Got lots to say? Start with a text and finish in Facebook or Messenger chat (or vice versa). With Threads, you can switch instantly between texting and IM within a single conversation. You can also send a text with just your voice – totally hands-free – or text and chat with multiple contacts in a single thread.
Groups
Groups help you focus on the contacts that matter. Organise your favourite people into groups – family, friends from the local area, football parents. Then you can email, text or chat with a whole group at once. Pin a group to Start and you’ll see missed calls, new messages and social networking updates from the group members.
Email featuring Outlook Mobile
Stay on top of that torrent of email — with Outlook Mobile, you can view only unread, urgent or flagged messages, or use conversation view to group messages by subject. If you’ve got lots of accounts, you can create linked inboxes to streamline things – like one for personal mail and one for work (the accounts stay separate). Then pin them to Start to keep tabs on the incoming mail.
Peoples Hub
Only Windows Phone has a People Hub with one-touch access to Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, so you’ll always be in the loop. Skim the latest posts and pictures from your friends. Dial, text or IM your contacts, one at a time or in groups. Or use the Me card to post your status, see who’s writing on your Wall or change your profile pictures, right from your phone.
Picture Hub + Camera
Press the camera button to quickly take photos, even when your phone is locked. Then you can share, tweet, text or email it, all from one place. You can even tag a picture as you upload it to Facebook – your phone detects the faces automatically. The Pictures Hub houses your entire collection — including online albums — and even shows a feed of your friends’ latest pics.
Application Connect
Application Connect serves up the application you need – sometimes before you even know you need it. Looking for film times? Search with Bing and alongside the usual web results you might see applications to buy tickets or read reviews, whether they’re on your phone already or available for download in Marketplace. You’ll also bump into your applications where you’ll find them most useful: photo applications show up in the Pictures Hub and music applications in Music + Videos.
Start Screen + Live Tiles
The Live Tiles on Start show you what’s happening with your applications, your upcoming appointments, your social networks and more. Get a quick weather update, find out when someone likes your Facebook post and see how many calls you missed during your afternoon run. You can pin more things to Start to keep them handy: applications, contact groups, a mapped location, a song or album, your best snapshots, a webpage… too many to list here!
Music + Video Hub
The Music + Videos Hub is your anytime entertainment centre. Play your music collection — synchronised wirelessly from your PC — or stream or download new tunes from Marketplace. Watch TV programmes, films or your own video clips on the high-resolution screen and listen to custom playlists, radio and more on your phone. Add an optional Zune Music Pass to get unlimited music for one low monthly fee.
Office Hub
No more need to be chained to your desk — Windows Phone has mobile versions of Word, Excel, OneNote and PowerPoint for working on the go. Start a Word document or Excel workbook on your phone, then synchronise it to SkyDrive so you can write or edit some more on your computer later. And SharePoint Workspace Mobile makes it easier to collaborate with your coworkers when you’re out and about.
Internet Explorer 9
Internet Explorer Mobile puts the web in your pocket, harnessing the power of your phone’s hardware for faster, smoother web browsing. Open multiple tabs, get search suggestions as you type in the address bar and press phone numbers and addresses on webpages to call or map them. Internet Explorer is social too: you can share web links in email or with your social networks, right from your phone’s browser.
One Button to Bing!
Where can we eat? When is the film? How do I get there? What’s that song? Press the Search button to get answers from Bing or use Bing Maps to find an address or get directions. You can also search with your voice, take a photo to get results with Vision search or find out what song is playing with Music search — your phone “listens” and then finds the name, artist, album and even where you can hear or buy it.
