Only Windows Phone has a People Hub 

with one-touch access to Facebook, 

Twitter, and LinkedIn, so you'll always be 

in the loop. Skim the latest posts and 

pictures from your friends. Dial, text, or IM 

your contacts, one at a time or in groups. 

Or use the Me card to post your status, 

see who's writing on your Wall, or change 

your profile pictures, right from your 

phone.

Groups

Groups help you focus on the contacts 

that matter. Organize your favorite folks 

into Groups – family, friends from the 

neighborhood, soccer parents. Then you 

can email, text, or chat with a whole 

Group at once. Pin a Group to Start, and 

you'll see missed calls, new messages, and 

social networking updates from the Group 

members.

Threads

Got lots to say? Start with a text and finish 

up in Facebook or Messenger chat (or vice 

versa). With Threads, you can switch 

instantly between texting and IM within a 

single conversation. You can also send a 

text with just your voice—totally hands-

free—or text and chat with multiple 

contacts in a single thread.

Stay on top of that torrent of email—with 

Outlook Mobile, you can view only 

unread, urgent, or flagged messages, or 

use conversation view to group messages 

by subject. If you've got a bunch of 

accounts, you can create linked inboxes to 

streamline things—like one for personal 

mail and one for work (the accounts stay 

separate). Then pin them to Start to keep 

tabs on the incoming mail.

Pictures Hub + Camera

Press the camera button to snap a quick 

pic, even when your phone is locked. Then 

share, tweet, text, or email it, all from one 

place. You can even tag a picture as you 

upload it to Facebook—your phone 

detects the faces automatically. The 

Pictures Hub houses your entire 

collection—including online albums—and 

even shows a feed of your friends' latest 

pics.

The apps you want

Windows Phone has apps for whatever 

you've got going: cooking, shopping, 

working, creating, watching videos of 

chinchillas playing the accordion. Get 

them with a tap in Marketplace—you can 

even try before you buy. Once they're on 

your phone, App Connect can make them 

smarter by serving up the app you need—

sometimes before you even know you 

need it. See photo apps in the Pictures 

Hub or movie apps when you're searching 

for showtimes.

Start Screen + Live Tiles

The Live Tiles on Start show you what's 

happening with your apps, your upcoming 

appointments, your social networks, and 

more. Get a quick weather update, find out 

when someone likes your Facebook post, and 

see how many calls you missed during your 

afternoon run. You can pin more things to 

Start to keep them handy: apps, contact 

Groups, a mapped location, a song or album, 

your best snapshots, a webpage… too many to 

list here!

Marketplace is the place to shop for 

music, TV shows, movies, podcasts, and 

tens of thousands of standout apps and 

marquee games. Available in three 

places—your phone, the web, or the Zune 

software on your computer—Marketplace 

is quick and convenient. Lots of things are 

free, you can often try before you buy, and 

one-click billing makes checkout a breeze.

Games Hub featuring Xbox LIVE

Word games, strategy, action—there's a game 

for everyone in Marketplace. The Games Hub 

is your on-the-go arcade, where you can play 

solo or use the free Xbox LIVE service to match 

wits with friends wherever you are. You can 

even track your Gamerscore and dress up your 

avatar, right on your phone.

The Music + Videos Hub is your anytime 

entertainment center. Play your tunes—

synced from your PC—or download new 

music from Marketplace. Watch TV shows, 

movies, and your own videos on the high-

res screen. Create custom playlists or let 

Smart DJ do it for you. And add an 

optional Zune Music Pass to get unlimited 

music for a low monthly fee.

Office Hub

No more need to be chained to your 

desk—Windows Phone has mobile 

versions of Word, Excel, OneNote, and 

PowerPoint for working on the go. Start a 

Word doc or Excel workbook on your 

phone, then sync it to SkyDrive so you can 

write or edit some more on your computer 

later. And SharePoint Workspace Mobile 

makes it easier to collaborate with your 

coworkers when you're out and about.

Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer Mobile puts the web in 

your pocket, harnessing the power of your 

phone's hardware for faster, smoother 

web browsing. Open multiple tabs, get 

search suggestions as you type in the 

address bar, and tap phone numbers and 

addresses on webpages to call or map 

them. Internet Explorer is social, too: with 

a few taps in the browser, you can share a 

web link to your social networks or via 

email.

Local Scout

Looking for stuff to do/see/buy/eat? Local 

Scout dishes up nearby restaurants, shops, 

and activities, so you can be an insider 

wherever you go. From the closest beach 

to the best brunch to upcoming local 

events, it's all a tap away. Tap a result and 

you'll see all its info—where it's located, 

how to get there, who to call, when it's 

open, the website—along with ratings and 

reviews and even related apps.

One button to Bing

Where can we eat? When is the movie? How 

do I get there? What's that song? Press the 

Search button to get answers from Bing, or use 

Bing Maps to find an address or get directions. 

You can also search with your voice, snap a 

photo to get results with Vision search, or find 

out what song is playing with Music search—

your phone "listens" and then finds the name, 

artist, album, and even where you can hear or 

buy it.
