Windows Phone 7: Professional Tips - Double tap

Tue, 10/25/2011 - 14:12 |  Robert MacLean

D04When you want to make sure something is dead (finished), you shoot it twice – also known as a double tap. Windows Phone 7 supports this too… for sentences.

When typing, double tap the space key and it will insert a full stop and a space!

Considering the size of the space key and how easy it is to double tap, rather than find the smaller dot key and move to the space key it can save you a little.

This is just one of the many awesome UX features in the phone!
