Windows Phone 7 is designed to bring together what customers care about most, quickly and easily through the ‘glance and go’ functionality. This is a phone for people that don’t want to live on their phones, but rather have phones that help them live their lives, doing more in less steps.
Key features of Windows Phone 7 include:
• The only smartphone with Hubs and Live Tiles that update on the Start screen so you can see all the information you care about at a glance
• Making it easier and faster to find popular features such as pictures, music, games and information about friends and family
• Combining basic every-day tasks like Search, taking pictures, interacting with contacts or managing email to do more in fewer steps
• The first phone to have one button to Bing, Xbox LIVE, Office, Internet Explorer Mobile and the Zune experience all built in
“The Windows Phone 7 will be one of the leading smartphone operating systems, giving users a mobile internet experience about as close to an integrated computer as they can get,” says Chris Quin, CEO Gen-i Australasia. “As a long-term Microsoft Gold Certified Partner across unified communications, software, services and licensing, we are excited by the potential to help our clients leverage this capability to develop converged solutions that combine fixed and mobile technologies to help address the key challenges business face.
“We are already getting a lot of interest from clients in Windows Phone 7 and are currently taking pre-orders for a November delivery of our new LG Optimus 7Q Windows Phone 7 device.”
