Before you even set foot in a store and start thinking
about which Windows Phone you want to buy, you need to do a bit of legwork. Don’t
worry, it’s not painful. But if you put the right pieces in place before you buy a device,
you’ll have a much better experience with Windows Phone.
The first step is to create and cultivate a Windows Live ID. Strictly speaking, you
don’t need a Windows Live ID to use Windows Phone. But you’re going to want one
regardless, because the Windows Phone experience is dramatically better when you
do have such an account. Windows Live provides an amazing variety of services, includ-
ing integration with the social network and online services you really do care about,
and integration with Microsoft’s numerous online services, including Hotmail, Zune, and
Xbox Live.
