Office Casual: Working with Nothing but a Windows Phone, Part 1

So even if you wake up in the middle of nowhere, you can still get a lot of work done with a Windows Phone. That's the idea of this short video, where Doug Thomas shows you the ways to reach out to people using a Windows Phone including texting by voice, group email, and seamless Facebook integration.

@kronosabada iphone is a junk phone same old body design, still cant take battery out and swap for new battery, No 4G yet?, No MicroSd Card, No Flash and tired of ugly candy icons and apps are just dead. Windows phone apps are always alive and giving you real time updated info.

Taking the right path on style, usability and burning it down by making these kind of videos.

First smart phone was a Samsung focus, I returned it for a Captivate because I enjoy modding, then went back and bought a Focus months layer, and I have to admit it is extremely enjoyable especially after Mango was released

@wixostrix lol iPhone is junk and just all hype. Tell that to iPhone apps which just sits there all day like it is Dead. Windows phone 7.5 apps live tile makes it alive and gives me the latest info. Also windows phone UI look blows away iPhone UI so much has sick tired looking at candy ugly icons on iPhone. Metro live tiles looks so modern in mobile technology. I already have friends who ditch there iPhone 4s for windows phone 7.5

@thewebmogul I'm no iPhone fan, and certainly no Apple fan but the iPhone is nothing close to junk. The design may not change much and it doesn't always have the latest and greatest in hardware but I would recommend it before any Android phone, unless it were more suitable for the persons needs.

@ammarmalik2007 ICS is definitely a step in the right direction for Andorid user experience, but the majority of devices on the market will not be getting updated and those are the devices that have poor user experience.

So what WP7 is limited right now, that will change with WP8, which all existing WPs will be updated to. Microsoft is putting quality over form.

@arulanandcisco It's better to work with others than do everything yourself.

@xray174 maybe for techies who want to tinker. but for the general consumer who just want their phones to work, most Android devices are a nightmare that people are stuck with until they can get a new phone. they seem great at first, but not many people love their Android phones like they love their Windows Phones and iPhones

@dotnetpro @t12ryk That start screen is not the notification center. Notifications are populated in the Me hub, which I'm sure you already know, but it lacks push notifications, which is what the problem is. There is not justifying it, it just need to be improved.
