A lot of ereaders are available for the Windows Phone platform. Believe me, I have tried them all and most, if not all, fail miserably in providing a decent reading experience to me.

EA took quite a long time in getting Need for Speed (NFS) Hot Pursuit to our Windows Phones, but hey, since it is finally here, we are loving every bit of it.

While the HTC HD7s and HD7 have been overshadowed by sheer power of HTC Titan, it is still one of the best windows phones out there. Being an HD7 user myself, the only thing that I do not like about it is its battery life.
