Microsoft’s Channel 9 kicked off a new tips & tricks video series for Windows Phone today called “Minute of Mango” that’s fun and worth watching.

The series, hosted by the always vivacious Laura Foy, is geared toward anybody looking to save time and do more with Windows Phone 7.5. Check out the first episode on making custom ringtones below, then make sure to subscribe or share the series with friends or family. Trust me, they’ll thank you. Laura plans to broadcast 3 new tips a week for the next 10 weeks.

Minute of Mango, by the way, isn’t the only great show Channel 9 produces about Windows Phone. For app reviews and suggestions, don’t miss Laura’s weekly Hot Apps series.  If you’re an app developer or just curious about what happens here behind the scenes, you’ll dig Inside Windows Phone, hosted by Larry Lieberman.
