    • Identify lost phones by IMEI instead of the phone number

      The "Find my phone" functionality on the Windows Live website only offers the posibility to ring/lock/erase/map a lost phone if it still has the owner's SIM card in it. In most cases of stolen/lost phone, the SIM card is removed, so if this happens, there is no way to identify the phone.

      That being said, the phone will most likely connect to the Internet (either with a different SIM card or WiFi), so sending a request based on IMEI sounds like a better way to find it.

            • Windows Phone should have a screen reader at no cost so people who are blind can use the phone

              At present Windows Phone offers no accessibility for users who are blind. The platform should support a fully featured screen reader that supports speech and braille and enables people who are blind to use the phone and apps independently. VoiceOver on the iPhone is an example of such functionality today.

                  • Native Remote Desktop Client.

                    Always while in meetings I need to check a build or kick one off or simply get into a full machine at work while away from my desk. A real RDP client would be killer. 3rd party apps now require thirdparts desktop software and are not secure.

                      • Filter phone book by contacts with phone numbers when making a call

                        Tapping the phone icon, then the phonebook icon, should produce a list of contacts filtered by only those with phone numbers, not the whole list.

                        • I'm not going to consider a Windows phone before the Bluetooth works as it should. http://www.sports-tracker.com

                          Why, for example bluetootch-based heart rate belts do not work in Windows with the phone? I have used a similar Nokia's Symbian-based phones for years (also works with Anroid)

                            • In build Telugu Language/Script/Font Support

                              It is very difficult to read Telugu fonted websites or documents.
                              Hope in the Tango update you include that.

                              Telugu (తెలుగు) is a Central Dravidian language primarily spoken in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India, where it is an official language. It is also spoken in the neighbouring states of Chattisgarh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Orissa and Tamil Nadu, and is spoken in the bordering city of Yanam, in the neighboring territory of Pondicherry. According to the 2001 Census of India, Telugu is the language with the second largest number of native speakers in India (74 million), thirteenth in the Ethnologue list…
