Windows Phone 7 Tips and Tricks
Do you like this story?
Recentlylaunched on the mobile OS market, Windows Phone 7 has many strong
points, but some weaknesses as well. Its competitors, Android and iOS,
had even longer lists of unsupported features and bugs at launch, but
were prepared for the outcome and managed to fix them relatively quickly.
There still
isn’t a lot of practical information about Windows Phone 7 available, so
the following guide contains tips for those that already got their WP7
smartphone and would like a few basic pointers about the OS's
capabilities.An interesting
feature that has been embedded into Windows Phone 7 is called “Find my
Phone” and helps users locate their device if they lost it or it has
been stolen.
Users can activate the function from the Settings,
Find my Phone option, as the feature is not enabled by default. “Find my
Phone” saves the user's location at certain, previously set intervals.
The integrated web browser features an option that
can switch off mobile browsing, which makes Internet Explorer display
only the desktop versions of the websites. Users can toggle the function
on/off from the Settings, Applications, Internet Explorer menu.
Adding
a bookmark for a favorite website on the Start screen can be easily
done by clicking on the three dots displayed at the bottom of the screen
and choosing “Pin to start”. The three dots always appear when you have
more options and works just like the Menu button for Android OS.
Internet
Explorer includes a useful "Find" feature that allows users to find a
specific word on a webpage they are visiting. Simply press on the three
dots, choose “Find on page” and type in the word you want to search for.
