Phone Info is an example application for retrieving both static and dynamic properties of a Windows Phone device. The methods implemented in DeviceProperties class and utilised in this app can be used for adapting your application to wider range of phone models; If a phone does not support a certain non-vital feature of your application, you can gracefully adapt by hiding that feature dynamically. The same applies to optimising your app for different screen resolutions and display sizes.
