When all is said and done, it’s still a phone, and Windows Mobile makes even the most basic use of your phone simpler. If a number is included in a message, on a web page, or in a contact card, the Click-to-Call feature lets you just click the number to place the call. Are you a multitasker? You can check an appointment or look for directions while you’re on a call. Call friends, check voice mail, and view e-mail and text messages all from the Home screen. It’s your own personal command center. Windows Mobile even makes setting up your new Bluetooth headset hassle free—you don’t even need a PIN.

 

Sending and viewing e-mail is simpler with Windows Mobile 6.1. Set up all of the e-mail accounts you already use on your PC with the Windows Mobile setup wizard—it does all the hard work for you. E-mail messages look like they do on your PC—they’re easy to read, no panning or zooming necessary. With Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile, you can enjoy all the features you already know and use on your desktop for creating, sending, and managing e-mail, and you can access all of your personal accounts including Hotmail, Yahoo!, Gmail, and AOL.

Remember when work was done…well, just at work? Then, working at home was a rare necessity, but today, work and personal life often blur together. It can be tough to stay connected to your friends and family when you’re at work, and it isn’t easy when you have to triage work at home. Your Windows Mobile phone allows you to keep up to date on all your e-mail and appointments for work and for home. With Windows Mobile, you can sync all of your e-mail accounts with your phone—you can even specify when you want Windows Mobile to sync each e-mail account.
