    • Adicionar operadora DDD automaticamente

      Quando salvamos o contato, colocamos o DDD+numero do telefone, assim, quando estiver fora da área, ao ligar para a pessoa é adicionado a operadora DDD pré definida. Isso facilita, para n termos que adicionar o numero da pessoa 2 vezes, um com DDD e outro sem. Ao receber o telefonema da pessoa, o aparelho reconhece o contato só com DDD+numero salvos.

                  • Display the numbers of the contact list bigger than they are, much bigger

                    The numbers that are displayed in the contact list, are very small, than they should be.
                    the font size, should be customizable, or a lot bigger.

                            • Filter / Hide posts in What's New in people hub

                              Within my main facebook page, I have "hidden" certain posts from appearing (ie Friend X needs your help in Farmville), however they still show up in my people hub. This feed is fantastic, as I hate checking Facebook, but currently it's USELESS to me, because everyone plays these stupid games and feels the need to post every detail. I have to scroll through tons of pages to even get to a real post. I'd like the ability to block specific contacts from this section, and also the ability to block posts from specific apps. Thanks.

                                  Allow users to increase the font size (e.g. telephone number under people). It is difficult to read for most non teenagers

                                    • option to show windows live contact's nickname instead of name

                                      If you sync contacts with windows live, in the options of each specific person should be a check box that says " show nickname instead "... For example, my wife's name is pinned to my home screen but I want it to show her nickname, not full name. Thanks! Love the winphone7 OS!
