| Windows Phone 7 : Deleting Music or Video |

| Windows Phone 7 : Pinning Favorites to Start |
| If you really, really love a song and can’t bear to have it out of your sight, here’s a simple solution: Pin it to the Start screen. What can you pin? Just about anything in Music + Videos—even a radio station. Whenever you pin something, a tile for that item shows up on the Start screen. |
|
| Windows Phone 7 : Listening to FM Radio |
| Did you know that your Windows Phone includes a built-in FM radio? That’s right, you can tune in to your favorite station whenever the mood strikes you.

|
| Windows Phone 7 : Adding a Pushpin |
| Windows Phone displays search results in Maps with pushpins But you can also stick your own pushpin on the map. Why do that? If you want to get directions to some place but don’t know the exact address, find it on the map and then stick a pushpin there. |
|
| Windows Phone 7 : Changing Map Views |
| There’s more than one way to look at a map in Windows Phone 7. You can see the map in traditional road view or from space by using aerial view. If you’ve just searched for a coffee shop or another popular business and have too many pushpins cluttering the screen, you can also switch to list view to make the map easier to read. |
|
| Windows Phone 7 : Sharing an Address with Someone |

|
| Windows Phone 7 : Getting Real-Time Traffic Conditions |

|
| Windows Phone 7 : Finding Places and Things |
| This is the meat and potatoes of Maps: finding stuff. Of course, you can search for a specific address, but what you might not realize is that the Maps app can also handle a whole slew of other requests, including landmark and business names. |

| Windows Phone 7 : Finding Yourself |
| Depending on what type of signal you have—GPS, Wi-Fi, or cellular—Windows Phone can typically narrow your location to at least the nearest neighborhood (unless you’re really in the middle of nowhere). |
|
| Windows Phone 7 : Working with Maps |
| The map on your phone has multiple zoom levels. With a few moves of your fingers, you can change from a view that shows entire continents to one that lets you make out your neighbor’s house and cars parked out front. |

|
