Power Toggling (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.)
Allow power toggling of at least WiFi from the start screen via an on/off button similar to the look of the arrow button.

The apps in the Marketplace already serve a purpose, but to toggle WiFi, Bluetooth, etc on & off would certainly be useful and if under the settings arrow top right would also save the need for (or compliment) the extra tiles.

what would be great if it was in the multitasking window in the far right side and you have to slide (like on the apps Dashboard)it to see them and setting shortcut

I agree!!! the empty space to the right of the tiles below the arrow on the start screen should have theses communication access button right there!!! having access to these battery draining features would make it easier and faster to manage then on any other smartphone.

or put something useful on that blank empty space below the arrow/search buttons. or make it a 3 tile columns. the arrow/search buttons are lonely;-(

get the free Network Dashboard app that does just this; http://t.co/PrrDzDSM
If Microsoft's WP development resources are scarce, I would prioritise features that there aren't already free apps to enable ;-) -

they should just put in a button for wifi like the one you use to switch vibrate on and off

Automate turning on Bluetooth (as Symbian does) when I try to send anything via it and it is not already turned on!

Better still - for wifi implement Symbian-like "destinations" that automates selection of preferred network for data - AND turns wifi on and off automatically when using data apps!

While you cannot toggle power, it appears you can have a tile take you directly to wi-fi or bluetooth settings (and one for toggling airplane mode). http://www.mobilityminded.com/13154/how-to-add-a-wifi-bluetooth-data-and-airplane-mode-tile-on-the-windows-phone
