Windows Phone 7 behaviour with Exchange ActiveSync

I got an opportunity to attend this year’s Microsoft PDCNight and the Windows Phone 7 demo was mind blowing.

Being a tech savvy, what impressed me the most –>No doubt, “Response time”. If you look back to see how today’s successful devices indeed become “successful”, note that it never happened overnight!!!

Microsoft took this as a major challenge and has tools in place “to take real time dumps” when and if an application is slowing the device. Just follow the instructions and the output will tell you as to “What’s making your device slow”. Isn’t that cool? I am not going to dig into this coz “its not my cup of tea”.

So whats in store for an Exchange guy? I am gonna list out some information which any/every organization should be aware before deploying Windows Phone 7 Exchange ActiveSync clients.

Windows Phone 7 mobile devices only support EAS policies while working with E2K3, E2K7 and E2010.
