All the Best New Features in Windows Phone Mango

http://www.thebeerbarrel.net/showthread.php?7693-All-the-Best-New-Features-in-Windows-Phone-Mango

Microsoft demoed a handful of the "500" new features Ballmer promised for Mango. First up, Groups. Groups is kind of like bookmarks for people, or like a buddy list. It'll let you filter all the social networking stuff for a particular group of people, so you can focus on the 4 or 10 people you actually care about. And it's got integrated group chat, through Facebook chat or Windows Live Messenger. (Microsoft compares it to BBM.) Also, there's now threading across services, a lot like webOS—you can start a conversation in SMS and pick it up in Facebook chat. You can (ugh, finally) bring all of your email accounts together in one view too—and there's full message threading, which looks pretty decent. Same for Calendars, which now supports Facebook events. Oh, and People now has Twitter. All good, all things it should be doing.
