Windows Phone 8 New Features

New version of Windows Phone 7, codename Mango was introduced at TechEd. Paul Bryan talks about some of the key features in his blog Productivity takes a big step forward in Mango.

  • Some of the key features in Mango Pinnable email folders: Pin a folder to the start screen for quick access. This could be an email folder for a specific project, from a specific group or person (like your boss), or an RSS feed you've set up in Outlook.

  • Conversation view in email: Emails in your inbox are organized by conversation, bringing replies to a thread into a consolidated view so it's faster and easier to stay on top of the conversation.

  • Server search: Search your email server (e.g. Exchange Server) for older emails no longer stored on your phone, giving you ready access to all of your mail.

  •  Lync: Lync Mobile brings the Lync experience to Windows Phone customers by delivering Unified Communications capabilities, including instant messaging and the ability to see the presence of your co-workers. The Lync app will be a free download from Windows Phone Marketplace and will be enabled with support from your business organization.
