summARY
If you’re as excited by Windows Phone as I am, you’re going to want to spend a bit of
time preparing for your new phone before you rush out to the store and spend your
money. There are two key things to do before buying a phone. First, you should estab-
lish a Windows Live ID and connect it with all of the online services to which you
belong, providing a central hub for your connections and relationships. Then, you
should understand which Windows Phone hardware features are required and optional,
allowing you to make a more educated buying decision. With these tasks out of the way,
you’re ready to head out to your local wireless carrier store or electronics retailer and
purchase your new Windows Phone. The next chapter explains how to best congure
this phone when you rst take it out of the box.
