Connectivity and ease of use are the main ideas behind the new Windows Phone 7. By having access to a variety of documents and media on the go, the handset proves to be a worth smartphone in a market flooded with less than capable devices. By having a myriad of features immediately available to consumers, the phone provides a stable platform from which media can be created and consumed.

The immediate strong point of the phone is its ability to view, edit, and create documents via Microsoft’s time-tested products. Office, Xbox Live, and software such as Excel and Word documents are accessible from the device.

Applications such as the Games Hub can connect with other users on the Xbox Live service to participate in games such as Bejeweled. This application also takes the user’s achievements made on Xbox Live and puts them in a profile for others to see, while matching skill levels and game preferences. The user’s gamer profile keeps track of wins and losses for the games that are played on the device.

Office is one of the main factors in the connectivity of the device. Documents processed and viewed on the device are stored and edited through their mobile counterparts. Word documents can be created and saved, as well as the viewing of Power Point slideshows and Excel spreadsheets.

Microsoft’s own app store is also present in its new handset. While not as large or well-known as Apple’s App Store, there are tons of free items, and the ability to “try before you buy” is present. Customers can pay by credit card, or even have transactions added to their phone bill at the end of the month. Other payment methods are also available.

Microsoft’s media player, the Zune, is also present in its new handset. Videos and music can be played and purchased on the device from anywhere and at any time. The Zune’s monthly subscription service, Zune Pass, can be acquired to have access to unlimited amount of music downloads for those who consume large amounts of media per month.

The handset’s capability to post pictures taken directly from the camera to Facebook is a gigantic leap forward in media sharing for smartphones. The Pictures Hub creates an area where images can be stored and shown. Again, Facebook connectivity allows for the viewing of friend’s recently posted images, all through the Pictures Hub.
