Windows® Phone 7 is designed for business and life in motion. Windows Phone 7 is about you, things you like to do, things you have to do, and relationships with your circle of friends, family, and business contacts. It’s a phone that enables you to do things in fewer steps so you have more time.

Less clutter, more clarity.
Email:
Windows Phone 7 phones are the only phones with Outlook® Mobile so you can sort, scan and manage your work and personal email. Now it’s easier to stay on top of your inbox. With Windows Phone 7 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 with Outlook Mobile. Streamlined account setup works with Windows Live®, Google™, Yahoo!®, and other popular providers. It also supports multiple Microsoft Exchange accounts for work.

Calendar:
All your work and personal appointments in a single view. Windows Phone 7 shows the details of your next meeting or event right on the Start screen – so you can glance and go. It also combines your work and personal calendars in a single, color-coded view, making it easier to spot conflicts and manage your life. You can map appointment locations with a single tap, and if you get stuck in traffic, Windows Phone 7 has your back: one touch sends a pre-written “I’m running late” email.
