Navigating your Windows Mobile device

Finding your way around your new Windows Mobile-powered device is designed to be simple and intuitive. Below are a few helpful hints to get you started in the right direction.

The Home/Today screen

The Home screen (non-touch screen devices) or Today screen (touch screen devices) that appears when you turn on your Windows Mobile-powered device shows you information such as your appointments, active tasks, unread messages, wireless carrier, data and time, and connection status. This is also the screen that appears when you press the Home button on your mobile phone.
