2011-06-18
hi this is adam lane for pacquiao calm and you're watching a windows phone mango preview okay now we're gonna look at you from Natalie dren zemski you can say read it or ignore read it okay so what do you need me to do you can say reply call or I'm done reply say your message just send me an instant message and i will reply to it using my voice this doesn't mean instant message and i will reply sweet using my voice you can say sent more try again try again say your message just send me an instant message just send me an instant message you can say sent or try again send alright so i'm showing you the new messaging feature that was an instant message from windows live messenger and i just replied to it using my voice without touching the device or anything now you can see the messaging live tile shows one new message now this is going to show new messages for incoming text messages windows live instant messages and facebook chat instant messages so that's really nice that model message from Natalie dren zemski you can say read it or ignore read it okay what do you want me to say you can say reply call or I'm done reply say your message yes that's good thanks yes that's good thanks you can say sent or try again send so there you go pretty cool now if I go into the messaging app here we see threads and I can see threads for her and you see down here it says chat on messenger so that means she's available on windows live messenger and at the top you're going to see messenger but if I am talking to her on facebook or text messages it's going to show me which network each these messages is coming from and down here I can see I can attach pictures there's my speak button so if I want to do voice recognition right there I can eat that and switch is going to let me choose a different network so i can choose facebook or i can text her on our mobile so that's really cool and they're so you can bite someone if you want to have a multiple person chat and back here down here we have status so i can choose if i'm busy away blah blah blah i can do a new message right there there's your settings and right here is the online tab so this is awesome to have we can see everybody who's online with windows live messenger or facebook chat and here here we go they're all ordered by alphabetically so that's kind of annoying if you've got groups set up either on facebook or when is live but this really nice thing is it shows the recent contacts at the top so you can really have quick access to the people leave talk to most recently so there's some of your Facebook people here's our settings we'll just look at these real quick you can shut off facebook chat you can shut off group text that's about it so that's the messaging app and it's really really cool to be a look do no hands facebook chat or live messenger instant messages as well as of course text messaging works that way too that's it for the messaging app now let's look at email so see I'll have one email account pin they're down here I actually have a linked email account and i called it junk emails now this is the this is the answer to unified inbox some people were missing the unified inbox feature in Windows Phone 7 because each email account had its own life tyle you had to go and find it and click on if you wanted to but we have linked to emails now so if you want a group specific email accounts here i have my hotmail and my google mail account linked together so you don't have to have all of them if that would be like way too many emails I don't want that many but you can group once it you know we don't need to see all the time so the way you do that go into one email account and then down here is the LinkedIn boxes so I can choose which ones I want a group and then down here I can rename it so that's really cool now here's another thing see that this is a folder within another account so sometimes you might have some server-side rules that automatically put certain emails from certain people or with certain subjects all into one folder it's really great way to automatically organized emails but with a normal email account it's only the show once you no new messages in your route inbox so this way i go down here i'm already navigated to a folder and then i can choose pin to start and then i can see the email account just for that folder so that's a really great way to organize your emails so that's some really cool features now if you notice in the program's list junk emails that appears only once it no longer shows hotmail or Google email as items in the program's lists they are only available as a link linkedin box but again if you want to see just the emails from hotmail you just go to the folders and then you can see those really easily now there's a few other issues let's see drafts this is one thing that I really hate I have some giraffes on my hotmail email account but guess what they don't show up I can't edit them this is something you know other phones are able to do but apparently Windows Phone and Microsoft can't seem to sync drafts so if i wanted to edit 1 or send one it's not going to happen you'll also notice let's go to conversation view I can see which ones i've replied to this only works with exchange 2010 unfortunately I map email accounts and older versions of exchange do not work for reply or forwarding status sinking so if you want to remember which email reply to your not going to be able to see that as an icon one more thing that's new we don't have context-sensitive search button anymore in email so you have a new search button right there on the toolbar so that's how you can search your emails so big features their LinkedIn box and pin to start mating for the folder switcher pretty cool that's it for now be sure to check out Pacquiao com for our full preview of Windows Phone mango with lots of text pictures and more videos that's it for now hmm
