        i just bought nokia lumia 710, phone is quite ok, but battery life is very bad, even test messages font very small, contact font also very small, it can be adjustable, i do not understand why such a big company is making such type of blunder. even nokia maps are not as good as google, i wish i can sale my nokia lumia 710 n go back to android phone.much better than window. even window applications are also chargeble.

        Changing the font size for text, calendar, people etc. is badly needed. It should not have been left out.

        Necesito poder cambiar el tamaño de la letra, casi no la leo de tan pequeña que es en windowsphone con el htc radar. Por favor, que Windows y htc se pongan las pilas

        We need a t9 English keyboard built in. There is a Japanese and a Korean one so why not English!!!!!

        This would make it easier to type as the keys are
        To small! .

        Need an English t9 keyboard built into the Os

        There is a Japanese and Korean one. This will make typing easier due to the tiny keys on the English and keyboard.

        The font and keypad on my phone are quite small. I can't read or type a message without searching for my glasses which I usually leave on my desk when I go out. It would be beneficial to set a comfortable font size and leave the reading glasses at home.

        Please increase the font on the 710 many users need a larger font -other makes must be laughing at MS ?

        No Wonder the market for Nokia is going downhill.
        The silver group are the majority now.
        HAving small fonts and not facility to change font size are backdated from 80's phone. surprise and shame to nokia.
        I drop the idea of re-supporting Nokia. (Lumia 610)

        Its amazing that titles of the subject are all quite large but the information is very small.
        Please have this rectified ASAP.
        For example: if I go into a persons details in "people" I find the titles like "Call Mobile" is nice and clear and white while the number under it is so small. Please make it at least the same size or adjustable.

        You guys are scarring me! It's available in WP8 under 'accessibility' in settings. Font size has 5 (?) different size options on the slider.
        The truth is, that it would be nice though, to change messages (or anything else's) font size independently by simple multi-touch gesture, without the need for permanent setting in 'accessibility'.
