windows phone apps | WP7 Accessories | WP7 games

For me the top priority on a smartphone has to be email, but back in the days making a phone call used to be the most important any only function on mobile phones and guess what you can make phone calls on WP7 along with email, browsing, take photos, xBox games and so on.

You have a few ways to place a call on Windows Phone 7. If you have pined a contact on your start screen clicking on it will let you call that contact. One could also use the dial pad, but ( in this build, we are not sure if this will change in the launch version ) the auto complete feature doesn’t work, we are not sure if the quick dial ( press an hold a number to call a predefined number ) feature is implemented . Good old address book search works too ( if you are a famous person on Facebook or if your MafiaWars buddies are in your Facebook friends list , you will have a hard time finding the person you are looking for :) ). While on a call, you get a handy notification at the top of the screen that lets you access call functions at any time. Unlike other smartphone operating systems, tapping on the call-in-progress notification brings up an overlay, and not the actual phone application, making it easy to turn on speakerphone, mute the call, and so on.

So what is so special about making calls on WP7 ? check out the video
