Allow pasting in the phone dialer
Please consider allowing the users to "paste" a phone number that was copied in an email or an SMS in the phone dialler. I receive phone numbers via email or sms and I have to memorize them before I can dial the number. You can do this copy-paste in Android and its extremely useful.

Support custom themes with Skinery Tiles Pro
Many users have asked for more customization for the look and feel of the start screen. Skinery Tiles Pro now supports custom themes for live tile apps with notifications and users have asked for stock apps such as Phone, People, Office, Settings, Messaging, Xbox, Calendar, Mail and Store to be included in Skinery.
Skinery knows it is ridiculous and far-fetching to ask Microsoft to work with an indie developer. So even if Microsoft is not interested to link up to Skinery directly, can Microsoft allow stock apps to be launched using uri scheme?
Skinery's dream is to help Windows Phone…

Sirius XM Satellite radio App
Sirius XM Satellite Radio needs an official App for Windows Phone! The "unofficial" SiriusXM Buddy App stopped working in Sept 2012, and who knows if it will ever work again (Sirius changed their API).
Now I switch SIM cards back into my old iPhone constantly just so I can listen to Sirius/XM on my phone.
They have an app for iOS, android and even BlackBerry. I've reached out to them to ask; I'm not sure they are listening. Maybe you guys can help make it happen.

MLB At Bat 13
C'mon Microsoft. Apple has it. Android has it. AND NOW Blackberry has it? Blackberry? Are you kidding me? (SMH) Let's stay competitive and support the great American pastime. Fans will even pay a few $$$ per download as they do with the Droid and iPhone. Check the WP8 forums. This is a commonly requested app.

Instagram, Tumblr, Snapchat Apps: Make Available For WIndows Phone
It would be fantastic if the Instagram, Tumblr, and Snapchat Apps were made available for the Windows Phone in the marketplace. It's kind of a bummer that I can't keep up with any of my friends without these apps.

Install XAP-Files without SD-Card
The new function for WP8 to install Apps using an SD-Card and the XAP-File that can be downloaded from the Online Store (PC) is NOT working for some WP8 devices! For example the Lumia 920 DOES NOT have a SD-Card Slot. Installing via SkyDrive and Email didn't work either. Please add a function to install these Apps via the internal memory for these devices.
