Part I: Getting Started
First Things First: Turning On Your Phone
When you open the box with your new phone, the packaging presents you
with your phone, wrapped in plastic, readily accessible. If you haven’t
already, take the phone out of the plastic bag and remove any protective
covering material on the screen.
The On button is on the top of the phone. On the button is a symbol that
looks like Figure 1-1. Press the On button for a second, and you should see
the screen light up. Don’t press the On button too long after the screen lights
up — if you do, the phone may turn off again.

On button.
Your phone should arrive with enough of an electrical charge that you won’t
have to plug it in to an outlet right away. You can enjoy your new phone for
the first day without having to charge it.
If you’re used to talking on a cellphone, you may be looking for the usual
wireless status bar (shown in Figure 1-2). Windows Phone 7 doesn’t automati-
cally show you the status bar. The Windows Phone 7 designers went with
the philosophy that giving you visual representation only confirms what
you already know by listening. Coverage for cellular networks is pretty good
these days, so they made the decision to unclutter the screen and have the
status bar displayed only if you want it to be. To display the status bar, tap
the top of the screen with your finger. Voilá! The status bar appears.
