Pull out Calendar View: Windows calendar view allows the user to see one week’s events on a single screen while the monthly calendar is located in the corner of the screen. The main screen shows the calendar with the main details of events but tapping on the calendar entry will show you an expanded view of the important details. By moving the screen left or right, you can see the events that have already taken place and the events that are yet to occur.

Weather and Traffic: The new Windows phone also has the ability to show the weather updates for an entire week in the pull out calendar. The temperature and weather icons are shown in top right corner for each day. Sometimes, it shows both the icon and the temperature and sometimes it just shows the temperature.
