Here’s the scenario. You just got the Windows Mobile device and you’ve no idea what your phone can do and have no-one to call to explain you all the nitty-gritty details. Or, you’re thinking about buying a Windows Mobile powered smartphone, but are unsure whether that’s the right way to go.

Windows Mobile Training website

Well folks, Microsoft’s thinking about you. Actually they’re thinking (like any other company) how to increase their bottom line and educating the consumers — both individuals and businesses — is one of the pieces of the puzzle. That being said, they’ve launched the Windows Mobile Training website where both novice and advanced smartphone users can learn something new. There’s tons of content available, including how-to demos, courses, documents, sales tools, presentations and much more. Honestly, the site is so content rich and useful that I think all platform developing companies should have something similar. This is not to say that Symbian or some other mobile OS developer doesn’t have something like this, it’s just that Microsoft really did a great job producing and organizing all the content on the site. Anyway, here’s the link and see for yourself why I like it so much, even though I don’t own a single Windows Mobile device.

NOTE: If you don’t have a Windows Live account (Passport), you’ll have to register to access the site.

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    You’ve got to register to see it? And you think everyone should think like MS? Kidding, right?

    Whatever happened to easy access to information without leaving a trail?

    If I’m interested in learning about Windows Mobile, why do I need to register to learn something.

    MS is just so smart….. :roll:
