I hope someone can help me. I have a Hotmail address which is used under Outlook. Try as I might, I cannot find my list of contacts . Where could they have gone? I get directed to contacts at bottom left hand of page but there are no contacts there.
Where you see Outlook in Blue at top left, you will see a down arrow like this…\/ … click it, you will see a “tile” called People, click it.
Hotmail is now called Outlook
Contacts are now called people.

I don’t use Outlook myself, last week a friend had the same problem finding Contacts and that’s how we resolved it.
The only thing I can think of is that maybe you have not signed in properly, as you can see, there is, somewhere, the arrow.

Failing that, someone else may know the answer.

OMG that interface looks really nasty.
I hope Microsoft drop this childish tile format, it doesnt lend it self well to phones tablets or PC's.

It's hopeless on PC's but brilliant on Windows phones
Does it work ok on a touch screen computer?
Quote, yes as that is what was designed for.

But windows phones are a complete non starter.
They are virtually giving them away and still they struggle to get 1% market share.

Wonder if they will develop better now microsoft has bought out Nokia?

No, the race is lost already - even with a good operating system they would be really up against it and given the truly awful tiled OS they keep trying to push on everyone (why would anyone want huge icons), there is no hope whatsoever.
Nokia's downfall was getting into bed with Microsoft rather than going down the Android route.

Watch this space and remember where you heard it first, watch where Microsoft take this
with the Imminent demise of RIM Windows phones are about to get a massive boost in market share thanks to a massive influx of corporate clients Windows based smartphones now outsell Blackberry and currently have a market share of 4% in 2017 that is predicted to be 15% with an annual revenue from sales of $1.7 billion and total revenue from Smartphones $45 billion.
Neither RIM or Apple are innovating, Samsung is the only true innovator now which makes them market leader as Android devices currently have an 80% market share.
Windows phones will gain from the corporate base with the integration it can provide with its servers and software.
They may never get as big in Smartphones as Apple or Samsung but they have the potential to take the corporate crown from Blackberry, which 7 years ago was virtually the only device for corporate use.
Don't think I'd buy and apple or RIM shares at the moment

I disagree. Microsoft has flogging Windows Mobile since 2002 without any success.
Corporates need to manage these devices and Windows mobile doesn't work well with the major mobile device management tools and little development is being made by these mobile management specialists because windows mobiles are making no inroads into the corporate market.
Corporates also need connectors into their corporate applications - whilst this is mature and well developed on IOS and Android platforms, the Windows Mobile platform is entirely devoid of anything remotely useful.
As for Blackberry - they are at the point of no return and their Blackberry 10 strategy completely failed as they lost sight of why corporates buy Blackberry's.
It is a two horse race now and of those, it is rapidly looking like there is only one innovator left.

My Nokia Lumina 800 is the only "smart phone" I have ever owned - late adopter
. I'm not a heavy phone user.I like the tiled layout - seems simple to me!
The rest of my family have androids which, as I have never used one, seem more difficult to me.
If you don't have big icons - whats the other option? Small icons & wallpaper? Is that better?
SWMBO has a very "busy" wallpaper & it is difficult to see some of the icons on her phone.
Downside of the windows phone is lack of development of apps. Whilst I can get all the apps I currently need, I was looking at a new broadband package the other day. The supplier I was looking at (Sky) provided apps for Apple & Android but not windows

I agree with a lot of the above but MS connectors into corporate applications are now much better than they have ever been and there are big developments in this area with people spending a lot of $
Corporate management is now dead easy with the new suite of tools (so I'm told) far better than the previous management for Blackberry or Android devices. I've seen one demonstrated and the security and integration for the user is much better than anything I've seen before, for example on the windows phone you can get to your corporate network drive to access documents, its like having your office PC in your hand with every function avaialable.
My own phone is a windows phone Nokia Lumia and it takes the iPhone 5 to the cleaners, so if Windows can deliver what it says I think times may be changing?
The question is can it deliver as we've seen plenty of empty promises before

You're making me chuckle now - what enterprises still collaborate using shared drives?
I hope you are right and Nokia can be saved but having spent a number of years in the mobile field I dont see any signs of the trend you are speaking of, nor can I see any technical advantage of the platform.
