Show lyrics given in the lyrics tag of the mp3 file
It would be nice if we could tap on the album artwork and it would flip to show the lyrics of the song playing.
iOS has this feature, why can't we have it too?

Changing the alarm show MUST NOT requiere SAVING.
Adjusting the alarm time is typically used when you are already asleep or you are going to sleep. I found that most people that I talk with suffer the same problem: "Wake up late for work because they change their alarm (action) and believing it is done do not hit save (as it is deferred & therefore easily forgotten action) closing the alarm application".
Help us not to keep waking up late.

Allow app to be available in more countries by default.
I found Windows Phone is very potential and after I bought, I had chosen my own country, Malaysia. But when I browse through the Marketplace, I found out a lot of apps are not available in the Marketplace even the world's famous Angry Birds!

Home Security App for HAI (Snap link etc)
No app for HAI Home Security. I gave up my Iphone for Windows 7 phone and deeply regret it. I'm giving it more months then it goes.

Skype should remain logged in the background so that I can receive calls and messages.
Cureent versions of Skype for Windows Phone do not remain active if I navigate away from the application. This is totally worng and reduces 90% of the fun of using Skype. The application should be baked inside WP8 so that calls/text happen seamlessly and I always remain logged in. Also kindly have Skype calls to transfer to the EAR SPEAKER like regular calls and not transfer to the Main Speaker phone. If you achieve this believe me this will be a game changer.

When someone calls I should be able to his Name, Company & Designation. Presently I only get to see the name that also doesn't fit
Microsoft heard people the first time by making contacts searchable by company name.
I want to firstly to have a Designation field next to the company field. Also to make an enitre entry including name, phone nos, emails and Company details -- I hav to move to and fro through various screens, I hope this becomes less troublesome.
Also when someone calls I should be able to see his full name including his company name & designation. Presently I just have the name displayed (that to in a oversized font) so it becomes pretty darn difficult to recollect the person.…

Speech Recognition Shopping List
Would love to see an app that would allow for a Speech Recognition Shopping List that could be started while I am driving and would convert to text.

Categorized app tiles would be convenient if user have multiple apps that do related tasks and can find them all within one tile.
Often time we pin similar apps onto start page. Problem is the tile list would grow longer and longer.

Show number of unread messages in tile e-mail
Very much like to see the start screen shows the number of unread messages. This principle works on all other platforms.

When adding APN to unlocked Windows Phone, allow for MMS settings, as well as SMS settings, to be updated.
I used the Settings app to find my cellular service. I was required by my carrier to update my APN settings. There isn't an MMS setting to update, therefore, I can't send or receive picture or audio messages. Microsoft needs a fix, or a software patch, to remedy this issue. Currently, the apps used to fix this issue require that all contacts of the Windows Phone user have the app installed on their phones in order to send and receive multimedia messages with the Windows Phone user.

Bring Office Mobile to Apple's App Store!
Out-sell and out-star Apple's Pages and Numbers apps. That would be mud in their eye! ;)

zune takes too long for changing the song name
when i explore my musics i usually skip rapidly my collections but zune comes wit a .5 second delay in showing me the name of the song
i think the transition effect is cool could be used for something else. Absolutely not in songs name.

UNICODE NON-ENGLISH Fonts for Social Web Experience forMillions of Users around the World!
It is very disappointing that Windows Mobile versions (MANGO/ TANGO etc) do NOT at least have 'one' UNICODE FONT of NON-ENGLISH Languages in this Modern area of Mobile Social Interaction. Cheers for Android for recognising and catering for this Large user Community and the Social Trend.
What is the point of Fantastic integration to facebook in Windows 7.5 if you CAN'T READ the stuff? Today's facebook (for example) has stuff posted in NON-ENGLISH Languages as much as the content in English.
(Don't understand the Smarts behind excluding the population of South Asia and the South East (which constitutes Millions of…

Dont allow to publish same application multiple times with Name/Language changes only
In the marketplace we can find applications like this:
http://www.windowsphone.com/es-ES/apps/54535879-74c7-4570-a7f3-2972f9b61d1a
and this:
http://www.windowsphone.com/es-ES/apps/30ac71f8-a773-41ab-afce-979b909c2766
and this:
http://www.windowsphone.com/es-ES/apps/12e32db6-1a44-4886-8bb1-44d14eab1705
and finally this:
http://www.windowsphone.com/es-ES/apps/00251d6d-36f6-40aa-a566-965f225e84d6All are the same application, from the same publisher, and all have been published the same exact day. The unique different feature in all 4 apps is the language, spanish, english, french...
Please vote to not allow to publish apps with the same exact code, only changing the language or the rss feed, or the url of source, it only damage Windows Phone Marketplace.526 votes
