I'm not going to consider a Windows phone before the Bluetooth works as it should. http://www.sports-tracker.com
Why, for example bluetootch-based heart rate belts do not work in Windows with the phone? I have used a similar Nokia's Symbian-based phones for years (also works with Anroid)

We want USB Video-out!
We want the USB Video-out function shown on Windows Phone or device demos!!
There are already custom ROMs on the internet, which you can use to show your Windows Phone screen on a PC:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPGklJJgaz0this would be a killer-feature. We want it. It's already there, give us access to it.
Then, add a Windows (PC) software, so we can watch the phone's screen full screen and BAM!!!

Nokia Lumia 920 as USB Modem
I have PC without WiFI. I used Nokia E51, later Nokia X3 as a USB modem. Now I have Nokia Lumia 920 I have no access to Internet. I don't want to buy the second device with separate mobile Internet on USB. I want to have all in one, like with prwioys Nokia telephones. I think a lot of people using eve Notebook with WiFi prefer to use USB modem, because WiFi connection is not always possible.

Force phone to use WiFi instead of data connection
The Windows phone will typically choose a WiFi connection over a cellular data connection when they're both available. I suggest adding a setting that will prevent the phone from using a data connection when a WiFi connection is available. This will help to control data usage for people who do not have unlimited data plans.
