When done, click Finish. If you no longer need to use the pairing established between your computer and a mobile phone, you can remove it from the Devices and Printers panel.

First, open this panel by clicking on its shortcut in the Start Menu. Then, select the phone and right click on it. From the menu, select " Remove device ". Once the removal process is finished, the window goes away by itself and you are returned to the Devices and Printers panel. As you can see, sending or receiving files through a Bluetooth connection is not as easy as it should be and problems can happen.

Also, this tutorial does not apply to all combinations of devices. Primary Menu Skip to content. Search for: Search Button.

You need to pay attention to plenty of details: Install drivers for your Bluetooth adapter on your computer. If you have a laptop or netbook, double check that your model has Bluetooth support. Many laptops do not have support for this technology. Windows should be able to identify your Bluetooth adapter and install the drivers for it via Windows Update. Install the latest drivers for your phone, on your computer. Even though the lack of these drivers should not impact the ability to transfer files via Bluetooth, installing them can help in making sure all functionality works as expected.

Turn on Bluetooth both on your phone and your computer. Even if you opt not to get a Zune Pass, the good news is that Windows Phone 7 handsets will all have FM radios and support third-party streaming services, such as Slacker, which is already available in the Marketplace. Camera and photos All Windows Phone devices are required to have a 5-megapixel camera at the minimum, but the editing options may vary by handset.

Any photos you take with the camera will show up in the Photo hub under the Camera roll. With any photos, you can do a long press on an image to share it either via e-mail, MMS, or Facebook, or you can upload it to SkyDrive, which is Windows Live's online storage system.

Along with your camera photos, the Picture hub will also display any images synced from your computer, Facebook albums, and mobile uploads. You can filter images by date or favorites, as well as check out a timeline of photos that your friends have uploaded to Facebook. Curiously, there isn't a slideshow option built into the Picture hub, so you have to manually swipe through your photos if you feel like taking a trip down memory lane--a shame particularly for those handsets with built-in kickstands.

Also, unfortunately, right now you can't upload or share any videos directly from the phone. You'll have to transfer the file to your computer if you want to do so. Apps have become an integral part of smartphones and are a key differentiator among platforms. So how will Windows Phone 7 fit into the app landscape?

Will developers take to the platform? Will the quality of apps be on par with iOS and Android? It will be some time before we know the answer to some of those questions, but from what we've seen so far, the outlook is promising.

Microsoft says it's confident that the Windows Phone Marketplace with launch with more than 1, apps and games when the first phones ship in the U. The company expects to release several hundred apps per week till the end of During our review period, there were about apps available, including some of the more major and mainstream apps such as Twitter, Slacker, Foursquare, OpenTable, and Fandango.

Our concern going into the testing wasn't so much with the quantity of apps the apps will come but with the quality. However, we were heartened by what we saw when we checked out some of the available titles. Many of the apps, such as Twitter, Slacker, and IMDb, have adopted the same type of panoramic interface found in the hubs, so you already get a familiar feel as you're using the apps.

They're also quite eye-catching and full-featured. For example, in Fandango, you can watch movie trailers within the app and purchase tickets.

Xbox Live Xbox Live wasn't fully functional or live on our Samsung Focus and HTC Surround review units, but once it's officially turned on, you'll be able to personalize your avatar and your gamer's profile and achievements. You'll be able to try all games before buying.

A number of the games took a while to load, but once going, the gameplay was smooth and fun. In Twin Blades, a zombie-slashing game, we were able to maneuver easily even on a smaller touch screen, thanks to well-placed controls. Without knowing what the final experience will be like, it's hard for us to really make a judgment, but the Xbox Live integration could be a key differentiator for Windows Phone 7. Maps and search Bing serves as the primary search engine on Windows Phone 7. A press of the phone's search brings up the delightful Bing app into which you can enter your search term either by text or voice.

Bing will then display Web results, as well as local and news items for the search term. If you choose local, results are listed based on your current location, and tapping on a listing will bring you to a new page with the address, phone number, link to directions, and if available Web site, hours of operation, and reviews.

Turn-by-turn navigation is offered in both vehicle and pedestrian modes as text-based instructions, but there's no option for mass transit or bicycle modes as there is with Google Maps. This probably is fine for a majority of people. However, in cities like New York and San Francisco, it would be nice to have those options, since mass transit and bikes are popular modes of transportation.

Overall, we were quite happy with the navigation experience. The Bing search engine was quick to return results, which were mostly relevant to our searches. Our position on the map was sometimes off by a half block or so, and map redraws definitely took some time.

This is one area where we miss Nokia's Ovi Maps. Directions were also accurate, and we liked that Bing showed both a smaller map view and text-based instructions on the same page so you don't have to switch back and forth. You can view each separately, though, and Bing offers traffic data as well as an aerial view. In mid-May, Microsoft updates its Bing application to bring voice-guided navigation to Windows Mobile devices and the plan is to bring this to Windows Phone 7, but it won't be available at launch.

In terms of search on the phone, Windows Phone 7 sadly does not offer universal search. This would have been a particularly useful feature, since the platform holds so much information. You can search within the People hub, e-mail, and Marketplace, but hopefully Microsoft integrates universal search in the future, so that you can look up an item from any point on the phone.

In the past, competitors like Apple were lambasted by the public for not having such features, so you'd think Microsoft would take precautions not to repeat such mistakes. We understand some sacrifices had to be made in order to meet the holiday release deadline and that they'll eventually be added in a future update, but these are some pretty key and basic features that we would expect to be included out of the gate. Criticisms aside, there's a lot we like about Windows Phone 7.

The Zune integration is killer, and the core apps are much improved. We also commend Microsoft for being able to acknowledge that its old OS wasn't working and taking a chance on rebuilding something from the ground up. The end result is something fresh, fun, and functional. Some people will cry that it's too little, too late for Microsoft, but should there ever be a time when manufacturers should stop offering customers a choice?

That would be a sad, sad day. Microsoft's long road to a comeback won't be an easy one, but at least it's now headed down the right path. Free YouTube Downloader. IObit Uninstaller.

While Android and iOS treat each screen as a discrete page, Windows Phone gives you a little preview of the next page to help convey the wider-than-visible UI. Virtually all apps implement this wide UI, including the start screen.

The start screen is the most traditional of multi-page UIs in Windows Phone. And to be honest, a list of apps in alphabetical order is a lot simpler to navigate through than pages of app icons. I suppose eventually Microsoft may have to introduce another organization element to the app list nested folders anybody?

IPhone users who live in three or four apps and constantly switch between them for updates from Twitter, e-mail and RSS will be jealous of the dynamic front page. Choose what apps, people, podcasts or almost anything you want on the main screen and they update in real time, with new information swimming sweetly onto the icons.

It's almost like a moving photo in Harry Potter, only less hokey and far more useful. The phone I tested felt sparse, mostly due to a lack of content, but there was enough on show to appreciate how the hubs work.
