Hiding or dismissing notifications
When receiving new e-mail and MMS messages or if you have a missed phone call on your Windows Mobile device, a “Notification” may appear in the lower left corner of the Today screen. Once you tap on the notification, you will have the option to either “Hide” or “Dismiss” it—tapping Hide will place it in the background, and it will remain on the bottom task bar; tapping Dismiss will permanently get rid of it.

Deleting all Outlook data quickly
For various reasons, you may need to delete all or large portions of your Outlook Mobile Contacts, Calendar, or Tasks entries.

Stop using paper notes
Whenever someone gives you a phone number or some other important bit of information, resist the urge to write it on a piece of paper that you'll stuff in your pocket or briefcase. Paper notes are hard to organize and are easily lost. Take the extra 45 seconds to enter the information into Calendar, Contacts, or Tasks. If you're really in a hurry, hold down the voice record button and make a brief recording of the information. Then, when you get some time, transcribe the voice recording and enter the information into the appropriate application.
Switch views quickly with the hardware button in Calendar
To quickly cycle through the day, week, month, and year views in Calendar on your touch screen device, press the Calendar hardware button repeatedly. (If your device does not have a button assigned to Calendar, assign one from the Start >Settings >Buttons utility.) Pressing the Contacts hardware button in the same fashion will cycle through any categories that have been set up.
