Update smartphone with Windows Phone 7.5 to Windows Phone 8 (Apollo).
It will be very very important to update all the Windows Phone 7.5 smartphones to the next update Windows Phone 8. Lots of people who decided to belive in your amazing OS will leave it otherwise. If you will not update to WP8 it will be a tremendous own goal. Many people (and me as well) were waiting the new Lumia 900 to buy it, but now, that many websites say that it will not be updated, we are no longer thinking about it. You will need to give us an assurence that we will not buy a smartphone that…

Music+Video tile should show an image/scrolling artist name when music isn't playing
In wp7, the most recent artist was displayed on the live tile. In wp8 the music+video tile is the solid green tile unless something is playing. Please make the tile behave similar to the zune tile in wp7 or give the option to toggle this functionality.

Require a1b2c3 or password after PIN failures before device wipe
If your device has a PIN requirement that will wipe the device after N failures (like when using Exchange), challenge the user intervene with something like the Windows Mobile style a1b2c3 or the exchange password before wiping the phone. The current system makes it super trivial for a child or pants-dial to inadvertantly wipe the contents of the phone.

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.

"Situations" for Windows Phone (GPS, NFC, Profiles)
Nokia once did something in beta labs for Symbian called Situations: An app that can change a lot of settings automatically depending where you are. Once done by GPS this would perfectly fit for NFC as well using cheap NFC tags: Depending where I am or which NFC tag I pass I want my phone to do several things at once, e.g.:
- Put my phone in my jacket: Ringtone volume up, WLAN off.
- Put the phone beside my bed: Airplane mode on, Ringtone up.
- Put the phone on the console of my car: Bluetooth on. Ringtone up…

More Bluetooth Profiles (BIP, BPP, FTP, HID, SPP, rSAP, etc)
BIP - Basic Imaging Profile
BPP - Basic Printing Profile
FTP - File Transfer Profile
HID - Human Interface Device Profile
SPP - Serial Port Profile
rSAP - remote Sim Access ProfileThere are heaps more profiles as well, but the inclusion of these ones would make Windows Phone better than ANY other operating system out there.

MLB.tv Compatible MLB At Bat App For Windows Phone 8
We need an At Bat app that has the same functionality as basically every other device out there. You can stream MLB.tv on iPhone, iPad, any Android device and Kindle Fire. There is even word that it will soon be on a Blackberry device! It is ridiculous that Windows is the only platform on which this service doesn't exist. It doesn't even have an app for Windows 8.

While playing music, press and hold volume button changes track to next/previous
Right now, the only way to change music track is to take phone out of sleep mode, press volume button (if it is locked), and change track. Can we have press and hold to change track to next/previous in case mobile is in pocket.. fast and simple :)
