Expression Blend for Windows Phone workspace

Most of the Microsoft Expression Blend for Windows Phone workspace is the same as the Microsoft Expression Blend workspace. In addition to the default Expression Blend tools, the Expression Blend for Windows Phone workspace includes one panel that is not available in a regular Expression Blend project.

For more information about the Expression Blend workspace, see Areas of the workspace.

Also, instead of the Expression Blend artboard, the Expression Blend for Windows Phone document window displays a Windows Phone-style application page to assist you in designing Windows Phone applications.
