Christmas is already on the horizon, it’s a time for us to send all joys and best wishes for the traditional Christmas and coming New Year. Rapidly on the rise, there are going to be a lot more Microsoft mobiles under the Christmas trees around the world. And also it's time for Windows Phone’s turn with Santa's wishlist. With a huge range of devices, from Nokia Lumia 820/920, Samsung tablets, through a mix of high, middle, and low range smartphones, there are hundreds of thousands of apps and games that can be installed on the platform. Let's pick out just top three that work well for the holidays.

Linkedin

                           

Linkedin can be regarded as world's largest professional networking website sharing 175 million members in more than 200 countries and territories. LinkedIn is so famous that it is significantly ahead of its competitors Viadeo and XING. On the network you can manage your professional identity, build and engage with your professional network, search for jobs, access knowledge, insights and opportunities. More than other phones, the newly developed Windows Phone is geared towards staying in contact, and that makes the LinkedIn client very important.

Yes you can add your LinkedIn network to the personal address book and the People Hub of Windows Phone, but sometimes you need to have direct access to the network without the sprawling website. The Windows Phone client does just that, feeling unique to LinkedIn and fitting in with the UI around the rest of the phone. It’s a web service app done correctly.

BBC Radio Player

                           

Where would you be without the BBC? The ability to stream the leading radio stations of the UK to any Windows Phone handset, along with program information and alarms, is one you should treasured when travelling. BBC Radio Player gives audiences a simple and consistent online listening experience. From a simple substitute for a bathroom radio to keeping in touch from the other side of the world, this is one of the first apps you always install on a new device.

Infinite Flight

                        

Infinite Flight is a civilian flight simulator. It’s an app for anyone with or without a passion for aviation who wants to experience the feeling of flying an airplane and allows the user to fly multiple aircraft (14+) from the small Cessna 172 to big airliners like the A340, Boeing 747.

This was one of the first flight simulators that were published for Windows Phone. With realistic flight models for 13 aircraft, multiple liveries, autopilot, HUD or virtual cockpits, and two detailed geographic areas (around San Francisco and Los Angeles), there’s a lot hear for Si-heads. Using the accelerometer as your yoke and various on screen buttons for the rest of the controls, this isn’t your basic arcade flyer.
