Activity Feeds are a great new social feature in CRM 2011 that was made available with the November 2011 update.

This post will focus on the specifics of using Activity Feeds on a Windows Phone – and fixing a known bug with CRM 2011 Online and Activity Feeds on your Windows Phone.

This posting provides a brief overview of some of the updates and details on some of my favorite new functionality.
