    • Show contact’s local time in Contact profile, based on either home or office location timezone.

      No need to switch to world clock app to check local time for worldwide contacts.

          • Hide ME tile from the contacts list

            In the People hub, on the "all" page (the full contact list) we see the ME tile first and groups and contacts below. It would be better to move the ME tile away to a separate page in the hub and show only contacts (and groups) in the contact list.

              • Filter contact informations from third party services

                Contacts List would be cleaner if we have the ability to filter which type of contact information can be synced with People Hub in order to avoid multiple and redundant entries. This could be implemented by a filter, in example: "sync only photos", "sync photos+personal infos". I would like to see facebook pics and news from my contacts and linkedin updates, BUT actually it generates mutiple and redundant entires (i.e. I have the same mobile number repeated three times, one from Hotmail, one from Facebook, one from Linkedin. On the same contact I have Home address repeated three time only…

                • Better design for contacts / call-history / numberpad

                  Windows Phone is cool. But the "hubs" are not. 1. It is not cool to cut the headlines. And e.g. the hub for contacts / call-history / numberpad has a very bad usability: instead of only that swiping (with sub-pages) there should also be icons for numberpad, call-history, contacts and favorites at the bottom of each of these pages so that you can easily switch to the one you want. And please don't cut the headlines.

                  • Large Text Font

                    People hub and Windows Phone 7 base tiles eats up so much screen area that we loose real estate where we expect contents to berendered.

                      • Show nickname in contact hub

                        Wanna show "nickname described on contact card" in contact hub instead of Facebook-name or MSN-nick. Since too many forgotten nicknames come from Facebook or MSN, always playing who-are-you game when rolling over contact hub.

                            There should be an opportunity to remove a photo from contacts. Currently this is not possible.

                              When typing a phone number, it would be great to search in the phone book or in dialed and not saved phone numbers (names of contacts (T9) and the phone number).

                                    • Allow User To Use Contacts from SIM Card Instead of copying it to Phone Memory

                                      1. Allow User to use the contacts from SIM card memory & Phone memory as well.
                                      2. Also provide options for user to save contacts on Phone memory/SIM card memory.
                                      3. Provide search option to search the apps/content in phone.

                                      • WP8 has NO Exhange Contact Groups sync - BACK TO RIM?

                                        I need to be able to send email from WP8 using the "Contact Groups" I have created in my contacts in Exchange 2010. I work in a business where I compete with other companies to reach customers the quickest and this is where I need to have my contact groups quickly at hand when I am using my phone. My IT people tell me Microsoft missed this flexibility. I was using this everyday with Blackberry Enterprise Server and can't belive I have switched to WP8 thinking it would have better intergration not worse. Now I may have to stop using…

                                        • Office 365 shared contact lists

                                          As a Office 365 user, we'd like to be able to share contact lists. Once linked to outlook the phone should sync these.
