We have a section for wp7 games and wp7 apps

Windows Phone 7 Games

I didn't quite find the reddit suitable for a static list, it's more like a equivalent of a Google search on the topic. The other links were great, added them to the list.

As for me reddit work good for me. Thanks for the other link posted here. It really helps.

This is a great help for users who want to get into programming for WP7.

Okay, I'm not able to post links, so just search for "jeff blankenburg" with google and you'll get a series of both WP7 and Silverlight tutorials (named 31 days of windows phone 7 and ... of Silverlight). I think they are really good and easy to understand for beginners.

Also very good is Mingfei's Code Block (on MSDN Code Blogs) on Expression Blend and Data Storage and Passing between pages.

Hope you enjoy...

Nice links, maybe I will start programming for WP7 one day - however, I think it's better to wait until the platform grew up and has some more users.
