Mother’s Day is right around the corner and if you’re like me, you may be wanting the perfect gift for a multi-tasking mom! Look no further because Microsoft has you covered with a colorful Windows 8 Phone! I’ve always got my phone on me to snap pictures of my little ones, look up recipes, check email and so much more! The Windows Phone was built with moms in mind and has a ton of family-friendly features!
Kid’s Corner on the Windows Phone
You’ll love these features designed just for you and your family!
Kid’s Corner
Kid’s Corner is a place where your child can play the games, listen to the songs, watch the videos, and use the apps that you add! They also won’t be able to make calls, send text messages, share on social networks, or use the Search button while in Kid’s Corner. They also won’t be able to make in-app purchases unless you set them up with a wallet pin for your phone.
Rooms
This is a cool feature that lets you create a private space to stay in touch with your family. You’ll be able to share a family calendar, group chat, upload and share photos, videos and even send the grocery list via the OneNote built-in.
Camera
One of my favorite features of any phone, the Windows 8 Phones are equipped with an easy-to-use camera that lets you snap and share to your social networks in less than 5 seconds flat! The Nokia Lumia 920 camera offers PureView technology that takes in five times more light per picture than other smartphone cameras without the use of a flash, which helps when you’re trying to capture clear memories at a dark concert or at your kid’s ballet performance.

I think the Kid’s Corner feature is the best for moms like me who have small kids who don’t even know what they are actually doing while they are touching here and there on the phone. I have to constantly keep an eye on my LO when he plays with my phone so that he doesn’t make phone calls and in-app purchases. Kid’s Corner would be peace of mind for me.
I would prefer the Nokia Lumina 928. Thank you for this opportunity.
