Below are some tips and tricks you can use while using your HTC Ozone.

Live Search/Bing for Windows Mobile is a feature-rich application that delivers white and
yellow page searches, directions, weather conditions, and local movie theater listings
directly to your cell phone.
For example, do you need to find the nearest taxi service, post office, ATM, train station,
or Chinese restaurant to your current location? Or you can bring up a list of all of the
dentists in your neighborhood, or even get directions to your friend's house, your office,
or your hotel.
Live Search/Bing can bring you all of these answers and more no matter where you are. You
can:
Search, or browse by category, for local businesses, such as Supermarkets, Libraries, and
Chinese restaurants, without ever having to type in any text.
(You'll find listings with full address information and phone numbers (one key press to
call).
You'll also get the distance from where you are to where you want to go, and it's also one
key press to get step-by-step directions.)
Get directions to and from a particular destination. (Enter street addresses, cities,
counties/states, or ZIP codes.
For directions, you can also enter your start and end addresses.
If you need the directions of the return trip it's just one key press
away.)
SMS a friend - Send a text message with a business' address and phone number to your friends
so that they know where to meet you.
Contacts list integration:
Search for a contact's address without typing it, or save a business to your Smartphone's
contacts to use again later.
Hook up a Bluetooth GPS receiver to your Smartphone and search your immediate vicinity or
track your current position.
Get movie listings for nearby cinemas.
Get weather forecasts for your current location

Read on for a review of Bing.com from the WMExperts (Windows Mobile Experts) web site. It
will give you a complete overview of all of its features:
Window Mobile Expert review of Bing.com
When you open Bing.com for the first time, the first screen of Bing is an edit area where you can type in a search term.
If you arrow down you should come to a text link that's called "Change Location."
If you press select/enter on it you can change your location.
Directly underneath that at the bottom of the first screen is a horizontal list which you can down arrow to. This list
contains the options: Categories, Map, Directions, Traffic, Movies, Gas Prices, Collections,
Web and Weather.
Arrow left or right to choose and press select/enter on any of these will get into that particular list category.
If you did choose "Change Location" and press select/enter on the first screen you will be
taken to a new dialog box with an edit area for typing in your current location, and five
text links directly underneath it. They are:
Current GPS
Recent
Point on Map
Contacts
List Of Cities
You can press select/enter on any of them.
did you know?
On the first screen of Bing when the cursor is in the edit area and you are
ready to type in a search term you can also press the left soft button and speak what you
are looking for instead.
While using your HTC Ozone, (at any point in time in TALKS you can press
TALKS+left soft in order to read out what the left soft and right soft buttons on any
particular screen do). If you do decide to use the speak feature of Bing then its recommended that either you use headphones to listen to TALKS speech output or else that you temporarily mute TALKS before you start speaking as otherwise Bing will listen to what TALKS is saying via the speaker and think that is you speaking instead! Therefore to use the Bing speak
feature make sure that you are in the edit area then press TALKS+BACK to mute the speech,
press left soft to start speaking, say what you are looking for, then press left soft to
stop speaking, and then press
TALKS+BACK to unmute the speech again. If you use headphones of course
then your
phone's microphone won't be able to pick up what TALKS is saying via the phone's internal
speaker and so TALKS+BACK will not have to be used.
