The ability to add a group to a group.
When I have two groups of friends and I want to contact them all, I now need to create another group.
If I can just create a new group and add the existing two groups that would be much easier

Participate in Phone Rooms with Desktop app
Unless Rooms is useful for all the people in my group, it isn't useful for anyone in the group. Please give us an app that can be installed on Windows Desktop that allows participation by people who don't have Windows Phone 8. The Rooms concept is fantastic, like a mini-SharePoint. If you make it usable for non-WindowsPhone people, they will get hooked and want a fully functional version when they're mobile.

people hub to fetch updates on a regular basis
I'm a bit surprised Windows Phone 8 refresh people hub updates only when user is opening the what's new pages in people hub. It doesn't refresh by itself.
I'd like updates to get fetch automatically based on ferquency of refresh proposed as an option with different possibilities (Only when opening people hub, Daily, Twice a day, every 2 hours, every hours, every 30 minutes, every 15 minutes, every 10 minutes, every 5 minutes, synced always on)2 votes -
Love the phone. Love to see the People Tab, with the linked Facebook account, use the Facebook filters from the account settings in FB.
Currently, the FB app from MS uses the account settings to filter out spam, game advertisements, Farmville notifications, etc. In the People tab, with its limited space, those same account settings are not used, and previously filtered threads show up. Nor is there a way to add to FB account settings or filters from Windows Phone. Even the FB app has no way of adding filters, though it does use the filters set up from the PC or online account settings.

Outlook Sync without using windows live!
Allow the phone to connect directly to outlook without having to go through windows live. The Iphone can do this it makes no sense that a windows phone can't connect directly to outlook without using windows live.
