Menus Calls / Contacts Messaging Social Networking

All of the social networking features on the Charm are integrated into the contacts list, the widgets and the universal inbox. Surprisingly, there are no social apps preloaded on this phone except for MySpace. You have to download Twitter and Facebook from the App Market if you want to take advantage of the features these dedicated apps offer. For reading and posting, the widgets work fine, but if you want to search or dig a bit deeper, the apps are free for the taking.

Out of the box, MySpace is the only preloaded social networking app. Both the official Twitter and official Facebook apps have problems with the phone's screen orientation. The main menu page for both apps appeared sideways on the Charm's screen. To log on, you'll have to tilt your head sideways while you type your username and password. In any case, it isn't a serious problem, just an annoyance.
