Top picks from a honkin’ big list of Windows Phone 7 tips

I don’t have a Windows Phone 7 handset yet but I am really hoping for one in the new year so I’ll be bookmarking this list of 72 tips from Pocket-lint for future reference.

In the meantime though here’s my top picks of their tips.

5. Removing apps from the Start screen

You like the app, but you don’t really want it on your Start screen anymore. No worries. Hold your finger on the tile in question for a couple of seconds and when it highlights press the no pin icon in the top right-hand corner.

7. Rating and reviewing apps

You really love the new app you’ve downloaded, so much so that you want to rate and review it so anyone else interested knows whether it’s any good or not. With Windows Phone 7 you don’t have to wait until you delete it to rate it, you can rate and review it at any time. Press and hold down on the app in question until that contextual menu appears and then choose “Rate and review”. It will bring up another page allowing you to have your say and give it a rating out of five. Easy peasy.

12. Turning off the key press sound

Click, click, click, click. Yep, it’s annoying isn’t it? Great thing is you can turn off the noise Windows Phone 7 makes when you tap on your keyboard in the ringtones and sounds area within settings.
