My Favorite New Features of Windows Phone 7 Mango
A few days ago I got a notice over my phone that an update was ready to be installed and I should connect it to my computer. Mango had arrived for my Dell Venue Pro on T-Mobile’s network. I connected my phone to my computer and proceeded to update the phone. A few minutes later it was ready. Now after using it for a few days, I am really happy with so many of the new features. I’d like to share my favorites with you:
- Turn-by-turn audible directions on Bing maps
- Podcasts are now in the Marketplace and you can now subscribe to them
- Visual Voice Mail – I had to enable/disable/enable this on the T-Mobile account website but finally it is working
- Quick App Switching/Multitasking
- Easy check-in to locations
- Integrated Messenger/SMS/Facebook Chat
- Twitter & LinkedIn integration
- Ability to open and Share Office documents on SkyDrive
- Pinning a playlist to my home screen
- Pinning an Outlook folder to my home screen
- Groups in the People hub (and pinning groups)
- Auto-Fix for photos
- Upload videos from the phone to Facebook
- New HTML5 IE9
