Share pictures in camera roll to a Friend's Wall on Facebook
I can upload a photo. I can tag it. I can caption it. But I can't post it on SOMEONE ELSE'S wall on Facebook. Whynot?

Contacts auto fill in
When you start typing a number you dont see who it belons to before you press ring then it will match the contact. My suggestion is that aslong as you typing you will get matches in the contact list that you could select and also see if is right. For example we have a lot of 3 didgit shortnumbers in our company and if you dont remember them you will have to press ring to se if it is right and then hangup if wrong.
Easier if I could tupe 895 and se vitch contact it matches.6 votes -
Enable wait, pause, and release functions in saved contacts such as voicemail and conference numbers
This is a basic function available on even the dumbest of phones that helps eliminate manual entry of extensions and passwords.

El tamaño de la letra en contactos (y en otras aplicaciones) es muy pequeña. No hay opción a aumentarlo, deberian corregir esto Urgente!
Es imperioso que podamos cambiar el tamaño de la fuente en todas las aplicaciones del teléfono. En contactos es casi imposible ver el número de teléfono. Gracias

Windows Phone 8 People app cannot add new Facebook contacts
When opening the People app, you cannot search and add new Facebook contacts. You have to go and download a separate Facebook app just so you can search and add someone. There should be search function built in to adding new friends or just looking someone up that's not your friend so you can see their wall.

temporary contact
Allow adding temporary contacts and/or temporary contact information: it would help keeping the Contacts list clean when you need to add people as contacts only for some time, e.g. when working with a new customer or parner for a limited time period only, or when a friend that lives in a different country comes back home for a vacation or simply visiting your city and has a temporary local number you could reach him or her for the duration of the stay.
To address this, a new optional field should be displayed for contacts and/or for contact editable fields: Validity…

DIAL AN EXTENSION (e.g. 212-121-2121 x55)?? WHY CAN'T WP7 DO THAT? Every phone I've ever had can do that. HUGE STEP BACK!! :(
So revealing that you don't even have "Phone" as a category of features. IT'S A PHONE!!! Duh! Oh, it's a marketing platform? Sorry, I thought I was buying a phone, not an app billboard. Silly of me to think it would at least do the phone things my 3 year old BB did effortlessly. Like dial extensions of OUTLOOK Contacts. Like handle overseas call country codes by correctly interpreting the "+" in front of the number. SHEESH!!!

Link people
There are great chances that my contact lists contain following items:
A person I know, his/her spouse and even their children. All of them are seperate items in my contact list. Even if Windows Phone 8 offers the ability to enter children info and partner info it would be much more convenient if there was an option to link these contacts. This would mean that typing the name into the children or partner info field should pop up search as you type suggestions and in contacts view, taping the children info or partner info should open the linked contact.

Enlarge the font size of telephone number.
What is the big screen for? Why every important informations like the telephone numbers, the names etc., are printed in a very small font? This phenomenon occurs elsewhere, like the clock time shown at the right corner of the start screen. (My phone is Nokia 900, my age is above 50 years, my language is Chinese).

birthday and anniversary reminders directly from people
There should be some reminder system directly from contacts added for birthdays and anniversaries. Adding them again in calendar reminders should not be necessary.

Improve people centric approach
Although Microsoft claims to have a people centric approach (PUT PEOPLE FIRST/IT IS NOT ABOUT APPS IT IS ABOUT PEOPLE) this is not entirely true:
Opening a contact and swiping to the right or left shows a history of contacts but these are only MESSAGES that have been exchanged with this contact. Where are the appointments, the tasks, the photos?And why can I initiate a call or a short message from the contacts profile but not a task or an appointment?
PUT PEOPLE FIRST at last!!!

Misc Facebook integration enhancements
1) Click and hold on a Facebook comment to be able to LIKE comments
2) Be able to LIKE photos in photo view not just comment view
3) Be able to mention / link / tag Facebook contacts in statuses and comments+ Some things that might only be possible as 1st party app?
4) Be considered 1st party app so don't get restrictions on content if friends have locked down 3rd party content settings
5) Bring Facebook lists down into phone as WP groups
6) Offline Facebook messaging sending and access to full inbox6 votes -
