Every
Windows Phone 7 comes with a high-resolution color screen that’s
perfect for catching up on missed episodes of your favorite TV shows,
watching movies on a long flight, or replaying your favorite personal
videos. Windows Phone is also capable of playing high-definition (HD)
video, although the picture is scaled down to fit the screen. (So what
you’re watching isn’t technically HD, but it should still look
fantastic.)
1. Watch a Video
On the Start screen, tap Music + Videos.
Tap Videos.
Flick
