User interface

The completely new user interface, named "Metro", looks very similar to that of the Zune HD. The home screen (called the "Start screen") is made up of "tiles", which by default are links to important features, such as phone, music and videos, email, office, and contacts. The User can customize the tiles, delete them, or add their own - by pinning an application (or "experience"), media item, favorite contact, or almost anything to the Start screen, it becomes a tile.[13] Tiles are dynamic and update in real time. Tile contents are organized via "hubs" which combine both local and online content. Windows Phone 7 will have a more friendly touchscreen UI than previous Windows Mobile devices by using multitouch technology. Integration with popular social networks, such as Twitter,Facebook, and Windows Live will be included. Windows Phone 7 also features integration with Xbox Live, Zune, and Bing services. Windows Phone 7 user interface has also been heavily optimized to be used with OLED screens.

Browser

Andy Lees, Microsoft's senior vice president of mobile communications, confirmed in an interview that the version of Internet Explorer Mobile on Windows Phone 7 would not support Adobe Flash at launch, citing "performance reasons." Later, Adobe Systems released a statement to clarify, saying "developing Flash for Windows Phone 7 (and Adobe Systems) has been deeply involved with Microsoft.". Since then, Adobe has announced that Flash 10.1 will be released for Windows Phone 7 within months after launch. He also stated that the browser is "halfway between IE7 and IE8 rendering engine." Its web browser will be a modified version of Internet Explorer 7, rather than being based on the current IE8.In addition, Microsoft's Silverlight technology will not work from within the Internet Explorer web browser.
Microsoft plans to regularly update IE Mobile independently from the "Windows Phone Update" system, meaning the browser will be able to automatically update itself and the layout engine.

Search

Microsoft's hardware requirements stipulate that every handset must have a dedicated hardwired 'Bing Button' on the front panel.Bing will be the only default search engine on Windows Phone 7 handsets. Though users cannot change the default to a different search engine, Microsoft said it would allow other search companies to build an app for Windows Phone 7 if they wished.WP7 can also search Bing by voice using the TellME, this can be activated by clicking and holding the Windows Button. There is no global search in Windows Phone 7.
