My WP7 "Aha! Moment"

[oldpueblo]

I've honestly had so many of these, can't list them all.

A pretty neat "aha!" moment that I had last week was about Office. I had been complaining about having to keep up with all of my syllabi print-outs and making sure they didn't get mixed up and I realized that I can just download them to my phone. Now, if I want to look up an assignment, I just go to Office on my phone and choose the course and it will either pull it from SkyDrive or from a saved version on my phone (back-ups are essential, lol).

So I'm at work and this guy comes up to me and asks if I can identify a song on this mix CD that his friend made for him. There are no markings on the disc, completely blank, and the only thing I know is that it's the first song he needs identified and that it's a religious song. My first response was, "Uhhhh..." Then I was like, "Wait a second, BING MUSIC!" I take the CD to one of the computers in the back and let el Titan listen. Bam! It did a flawless job identifying the artist and song.

Did you take the guy with you so he could see how you found it? That is the best promotion for the platform we can do. Nothing better than hands-on demos!

Barcode and QR code scanner work out of the box! No extra settings! Same thing for scaning song, but Shazam is Shazam

Related to this, I have the Zune Pass with 10 song credits per month, I usually just hit the Music search in the car to pick out songs off the radio, well today I was going through some other songs related to those and wanted to have some queued for when my credits renew. I hit play on those, then brought up the audio search which listened to them and recognized them. Your music searches are saved so it's pretty convenient to have them lined up and ready to go

 

[jfa1]

great idea Thanks

Nice one! That would actually be really handy.

I've been using WP since about Dec '10. I'm a WebOS refugee as well, was a bit torn between the two for a while but HP took care of that. There have been a few such moments for me with WP7 including just the overall snappy-ness of the system especially the browser, to the zune software (the only thing my Zune HD was missing was a phone), to the great hardware.

The biggest moment for me though was actually quite recently. I was sleeping in, and my boss sent me a text asking if I could come in to work. My phone read the text aloud from my night stand and asked for a reply, I said no and commanded the message be sent. My boss asked why, I said that I was too busy with previous plans, and said send again. I didn't have to move a single muscle, I didn't have to get out of my nice warm bed, IT WAS AMAZING!!!

WPFL!!!

Can all the WP7 phones do that? I'll have to look in the settings of mine, that sounds like a really useful feature.

i didn't even know you could do that! awesome!

It's real useful when you receive texts while driving. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. I have a contact named Leeann and it thinks I am saying, "lee and", so it can't find the contact.

Go into settings - System - Speech - Scroll to the bottom and change "Read aloud incoming text messages" to "always on".
