Windows Phone Start Screen
1) Ability to add a same background textures to the start screen and Application list screen, just like way it happens in Windows 8. The ability to add Name for a group needs to more intuitive to user and need not install a separate app for it! A pull down notification screen would add a lot of interest to it.
2) Landscape mode for Windows Start screen supported. Just Imagine how beautiful WP is gonna look, when we have the landscaping mode available, ability to add background etc.
3) Feature of Tile Cubes. Currently Windows Phone tile only flips and…

When setting an e-mail account. it should be possible to set sync-settings BEFORE the first sync!
When setting an e-mail account for the first time, WP7 starts sync-ing right away. I would like to turn off contacts-syncing in some cases, but WP7 does not let you modify sync-settings "while syncing entries is in progress".
It should be possible to get to the sync-settings page right away, before it starts syncing!

Notification Bar in WP7.8
Add features to Notification bar. On sliding it down, you can immediately see all your Wireless Controls and battery percentage. This will speed things up and save a tile for some thing else. In Windows Mobile 6.5, one can press and hold a button to bring up the controls. Also indicate data usage next to each control (Wi-Fi & 3G)

Back and forward buttons in internet explorer
If you leave internet explorer and reopen it from the home screen, the back button doesn't bring you to the page before the current one, it just takes you back to the home screen. Internet explorer needs a back button and a forward button for easy, simple browsing.

Calendar items should automatically make phone go to vibrate as in Windows 6
In my old Windows phone, 6.0 & 6.5, when I had an appointment, the phone automatically switched to vibrate during appointment, and then switched back to "normal" afterward. That was SO useful. Now that Windows is fancier, it's odd that I have to manually switch to vibrate. And after a year of owning this phone, I still often forget to switch it back after the meeting. Seems so easy to add to this windows and don't know why it was taken off.

A concave glass idea by Anil Malhotra.
I have been an ardent patron of the Windows Phone and have been an admirer of the innovations that Microsoft has featured in its products making them extremely user friendly. I wanted to add my views to add a new dimension to the innovations, my suggestion was keeping in view two dynamic characteristics of your prospective Windows Phone users: 1. The average age of those individuals who enjoy a healthy economic status are usually above 40 years of age . 2. Their vision is usually hypermetropic( far sightedness visionary defect).3. They do not like to use spectacles/reading glasses constantly 4.…

Must be able to directly call to a phone number found on eg. a web page. It's not even possible by copy/paste to dial pane.
A string of numbers on a web page, sms, text document etc. should be recognized as phone number and an option to call to that should be offered. Additionally there should be a dialling pane to which one could paste numbers, edit them and make a call and/or save to contacts.
