Of all the Smartphones on the market the most unique one at present is the Windows Mobile phone.
The latest upgrade to Microsoft’s main operating system (OS) for handhelds has had a few important invisible patches and a bunch of minor interface tweaks.
What sets the new phone apart from predecessors is that the new system consists of customisable Live Tiles, which, like widgets, show real-time updates such as news, appointments and feeds from the web and social networks.
The Windows Phone supports large multi-touch displays which can be found on phones with 4.3-inch screens.
The phones come preloaded with Xbox LIVE, which supports networked, player-to-player gaming. Most of the phones’ content, including photos, videos, settings and contacts can be backed up to the users Windows Live account.
The Windows Phone also comes with a built-in Zune interface which allows users to synchronise with their multimedia content from a PC or download new tunes from the Windows Marketplace.
In addition to the touch screen support, three keys provide the core navigation controls. There's a back key for backing out of applications, a start key for returning you to the home screen, and a search key that launches the Bing search box.
Windows Mobile Phone 7
The Windows Mobile Phone 7 is a new entry into this field, and it is very different from the previous versions of Microsoft Mobile operating systems. It has been built from the ground up to match the needs and aspirations of today’s users, while standardising the hardware to ensure that applications perform well on all Windows Phone 7 devices.
Windows Operating system
The Microsoft operating system is much simpler to use compared to the Windows Mobile OS it replaces.
As you would expect there is no other mobile operating system on the market that integrates more tightly with Windows PCs, Windows Media Outlook and Microsoft Exchange.
Syncing ability with Windows Mobile is built into every copy of Windows on the desktop; into every copy of Windows Media Player; into every exchange server later than version 2003, and into every WMA format compatible music store. That makes a Windows Mobile an unusually easy solution for connecting up to your Microsoft universe.
Advantages
There are a lot of advantages with the new Windows Phone as it brings together the entire standard platform and a known component to what the Microsoft platforms already offers. It is not a replacement for Windows Mobile, which continues to provide a powerful platform for a wide range of devices and application scenarios.
Instead, Windows Phone 7 is a brand new mobile device that incorporates a comprehensive set of features necessary to build applications that satisfy the needs of business and personal consumer use.
It also allows developers to easily create powerful interactive applications via development platforms such as the Microsoft Silverlight and the Microsoft XNA development platforms that are already found in laptops and desktop computers.
Conclusion
The guide offers comprehensive information and tips in helping you deciding if a Windows mobile phone is the right option for you. There are many pros and cons to the Windows phone system. For example, easy connection to Windows PC devices may be ideal for some people, but less so for others.
That said the Windows Mobile is still a flexible OS with unparalleled windows and exchange support, and has a great number of handset choices from which to choose.
