Bring back 3 digit unread count on live tiles
I need a 3 digit unread count on the live tiles for my podcast and rss feed apps, since I never get below 99 unread items. Please change the API back to the 3 digit limit that was used in WP8, so the app developers can give me what I need.

Easy way to make the phone silent
If you have vibration and sound enabled, you can now change the phone quickly only to "vibrate only" mode. There is no way to quickly enable silent mode (no vibration) without going to settings.

Multitasking for Nokia Music
Please enable true multi-tasking so that when we use other app , the download does not stop in Nokia Music.Please enable it ,even if only for some apps such as Nokia Music because it is a huge inconvenience since we cannot do anything on the phone until the download in Nokia Music has completed and if we start using the phone , the download pauses.Please do something for it as early as possible.

Renaming an Email Account by making the letters capital or lowercase, cause an error message
If you are trying to rename an Email Account, by making the letters capital or lowercase, you get an error message:
‘You’re already using <account_name> for another account. Choose a different name for this account’.
Let’s say you need to rename ‘account_name’ to ‘Account_name’. User needs to then rename ‘account_name’ to ‘account_name_1’ (as an example) and then to the desired ‘Account_name’ (with a capita ‘A’).

loakal backup
I think a lokal backup is the best, a lokal backup aof all data and files or the possibility to select some things for backaup.
The backup should stored on PC - the best if a server is down or mobile Data not available.
Backup to skydrive is nice but it should be an extra-Option, not the only one.3 votes -

WP must support enterprise apps.
Microsoft needs to take a serious look at providing VPN capability and working closer with their enterprise app partners. The lack of a Windows Phone 8 app for Good is egregious enough (and Good blames MS for not making the SDK more available), but not providing VPN capability is simply unacceptable.
BYOD is the way of the future and if WindowsPhone wants to be part of that future it needs to accomodate business needs. VPN (or even Citrix Receiver compatibility) needs to be a priority.

open office org compatibilation in office mobile, better multitasking, other Bluetooth profiles (enable file transfer)
bettermultitasking with the option to close unuasual programs directly.
Open Office Org compatibilation in Office mobile (*.odt -files etc.)
enable other Bluetooth profiles, also enable filetransferring (at least between Windows Phones).We hope a better Windows Phone OS.
So WP7 could compete better with IOS and Android platforms.
App-updates should be to download, if WP is connected with Zune on PC.Thanks for raiting it as an serios idea.

Please listen to your fanbase!
Microsoft, please. You're the very tiny underdog in a giant phone market. You MUST listen to your supporters. You shouldn't even need a suggestion box if you would simply look at the several forums that discuss improvements that could be implemented into the OS. Please. I am begging you.
The folks at forums.wpcentral.com are only a few of the folks who offer very helpful advice, if you would only listen to them.
