New to WP7

[cp2_4eva]

Hey folks. I'm coming from iOS and Android. I have already been sold on the WP7 devices, but I had some questions concerning some functionality

1. As far as favorite websites, can you pin those to the tile screen (home screen)? Reason I ask this is because I am not sure if there are USAA apps, paypal apps, etc for the WP7 OS. I could get around this if I can pin favorite sites to the front.

2. With nokia drive, are the directions audible, or do I always have to look at the screen for me to know where to go? Also, my wife heard somewhere that the navigation service is something we have to pay extra for. True or False?

3. Are there any 3rd party apps for screen shots? and are they reliable?

4. How often do you get to a site that you cannot access due to the lack of flask support?

Any other tidbits of information are welcomed. I went to the sticky thread on some of the new functions of WP7 already. There were just some lingering gaps I was trying to fill thats all.

Yes. You can pin apps, games, pics, contacts, websites and just about anything to your start screen, even contact info from bing searches

You can pin web pages by hitting the three ... And select. Pin to start
