It is also customizable according to your needs: pin people, apps, playlists, pictures and other favorites so they’re always at your fingertips.

While other phones have address books, in Windows Phone, there’s the People Hub. People Hub is social central, a place to stay connected and in the loop. Skim Facebook and Windows Live feeds and photos. Call, text or post to friends, then get directions to their place. The Me Card makes it easy for users to update their status or change their profile picture across multiple social networking sites, right from the phone.

The phone’s Office Hub brings together Microsoft’s Office suite comprising Word, Excel and PowerPoint, allowing you to create and edit documents and share them via email. With OneNote, you’ll also reduce the hassle of having to double save documents as information created and edited on Windows Phone 7 will be synchronized directly with the file that is saved on your office server.

With Windows Phone and Outlook Mobile you can quickly cut through the clutter to see only unread, urgent or flagged messages – or press Search to pinpoint a specific mail. Move or delete messages in bulk, and respond to meeting invites right from your inbox. Outlook Mobile features streamlined account setup with Windows Live, Google, Yahoo! And other popular providers, it also supports multiple Microsoft Exchange accounts for work.

Windows Phone 7 is the only phone with a Pictures Hub that houses your entire collection, including photos from the phone, PC and even Facebook. Now sharing pictures is as easy as taking them: you can press the camera button to snap photos, even when your phone is locked. Then send your favorites to friends, or post them to Facebook or Windows Live, all from one place.
