The Pictures hub is your Windows Phone's digital version of those pictures in your wallet. Show off all the pictures you took with the camera on your phone, saved from emails or text messages, or downloaded from the Web or from your PC.

Times Square wall. A showcase of local pictures from your All view. The mosaic of picture-perfect moments changes every fi fth time you turn on your phone. If you sync your phone using the Zune software before you visit the Pictures hub, you'll see your pictures here when you arrive.

What's new? These are the latest pictures your friends and family uploaded to

Windows Live or Facebook.

Albums

Picture albums are a big part of how you organise your pictures and videos on your phone, on your computer, and on the Web.

Knowing where albums can be added to and deleted from will help keep everything in working order.

The Zune software puts pictures from your phone albums-Camera Roll, Saved Pictures, and Received Pictures-into the Pictures library on your computer.
