Windows Phone 7 Review

Windows Phone 7 is a complete refresh and departure from previous versions of Windows Mobile versions.

 Microsoft essentially pressed the reset button and worked with a team of designers to create a mobile operating system based a number of principles, including elegance and simplicity, typography, motion, and relevance.

One of the biggest new features is the ability to pin almost anything to the home screen. Apps, a video, music track, web page shortcut. Making for a quick and efficient access to your desired content.

Your contacts are accessed through the "people" tile which when first starting the phone asks for your windows live ID. This actually combines both the users phone numbers and email addresses because, as this is a smart phone, you would want all of these in one location.

Apps such as the official Facebook and Twitter ones offer very fast and dynamic experiences when cycling through photos, messages and feel much more proactive when compared to the iPhone app versions.

Various apps offer very dynamic experiences which never seem to feel over the top or lag which is a major plus.

The tiles can be changed to a number of colours of preference.

The Zune Software is smooth and modern in the layout of album art and track titles.

Overall the new Windows Phone 7 operating system is an interesting and eye catching choice when compared to Apple's 4.0 , or Androids operating systems.
