At Microsoft’s annual TechEd conference for developers and IT pros, was announced that Windows Phone will see a major change in its capabilities in its next version named "Mango” and supposedly will release later this year. The features are meant to provide a productive edge on the go to users.

Some of the features that will be included :

• Adding the ability to save and share Office documents through Office 365 and Windows Live SkyDrive, ensuring one has access to the latest documents.
• Pinnable email folders: Pin a folder to the start screen for quick access. This could be an email folder for a specific project, from a specific group or person.
• Conversation view in email: Emails in your inbox are organized by conversation, bringing replies to a thread into a consolidated view so it’s faster and easier to stay on top of the conversation.
• Server search: one can search his/her email server (e.g. Exchange Server) for older emails (other than the 10-15 stored in the phone) giving ready access to all of the mails.
