            • Lightweight backup

              It would be good to choose between backup modes, such as light backup (OS only), personal (self created data), apps and media (everything).

              • Adult Corner

                I absolutely love the kid's corner update on the Windows 8 Phone, however, kids are not the only ones who are nosey. Adults are as well. I would like to see an update to Kid's Corner where the option of adding calls and internet, mainly calls, as an option to select. I do not like adults going through my e-mails or text messaging and as of right now, if I am not mistaken, there aren't any apps to password protect your text messages or e-mails. Also, this will allow Windows to advertise not only for Kid's Corner but also a…

                  • Add Georgian keyboard and FIX georgian weekdays calendar that shifted one day!!!!!

                    WP8 now has Georgian fonts but does not have keyboard. Would be nice to have as the phone supports Georgian regional settings. Also, there is a bug when switching to Georgian regional settings the weekdays calendar is shifted one day. The same error was in Win8 and is fixed, but remains in Office 2013 and WP8. What a shame!!!!

                    • Improve Windows Phone Sync for Windows PC

                      The current version of Windows Phone sync for PC crashes each and every time I try to use it. It's for this reason that I returned the phone and got an Apple iPhone5. Apple does it right, as it syncs effortlessly between all devices, including MS Office. The is a beautiful phone, but not quit ready for prime time. It won't shut off, either. When you try, it says "Goodbye" and a few moments later it vibrates and restarts. Also, it won't even sync to other MS products. I was, however, able to sync my music from my Mac, which…

                                  Would be helpful to be able to adjust font sizes espeically texts. Its very hard to see blue text on black background. Suggest being to adjust colours font sizes etc. Impossible to read in brighter daylight. How about white with black background etc

                                      • Rename WP7.8 to WP8 Lite

                                        Is there a sensible logic behind naming the new upgrade to WP7.8? Why not WP8 Lite or something that sounds like a subset of WP8? By choosing the name WP7.8 Microsoft is damaging WP sale already in the market. From the consumer point of view it sounds more acceptable to get part of WP8 updates rather than getting something on the dead end road.

                                        • Shorten the release schedule by issuing just a few fixes at a time

                                          We need more frequent updates. It has been several months since the last update and some of the shortcomings are painful. The big exciting changes are great, but meanwhile your users are switching to Android and iPhone because some of the small changes are deal-breakers and their release is blocked by your release schedule.

                                          Use agile development methodologies and release updates *at least* monthly. Get the carriers out of the game if you must. Call them "beta" fixes, or "unsupported", or whatever. Surely most of these deal-breakers aren't hardware specific - eg, separate volume controls for ringer, music, and sounds.…
