    • Facebook Integration Problematic - ALL BEWARE

      1. You connect FBook to WindowsLive/Outlook People online
      2. Merge any Fbook friends with existing contacts
      3. Dubiously test FBook in WindowsPhone People Hub
      4. Choose NOT to add FBook chat
      5. Delete FBook in WindowsPhone People Hub. Warning, will remove FBook from WindowsLive/Outlook account.
      6. You know what's happened. So check online & ALL FBook friends have been now been removed!

      Q. Shouldn't there be more precise integration with a flag etc to indicate this is a mobile account & so preserve the existing integration?

            • Definitely a few more suggestions I can think of

              It would be a huge improvement if there was a task manager, like in the Adroid OS. I've found hitting the back arrow button to get out of the web browser is quite annoying. Also, I wish there was a way to do screen shots, such as holding the home button and the camera button, etc. Lastly, on my Lumia 900, when I have voicemails, there is no icon to tell me so. If I look at my missed calls, the phone icon will disappear but there is no separate voicemail icon. I've irritated many people by not returning their…

              • Screen reading and Screen Magnification Capabilities

                Both blind, visually impaired and hard of hearing people have a difficult time using speech recognition software. Thus, like Apple does with voiceover, put in a full fledged screen reader and screen magnification software, that does not require a data plan to make it accessible for blind and visually impaired and hearing impaired persons.

                    • Text People Recorded Videos

                      I think we absolutely need that option to text people our recorded videos! The android & iPhone already do this. I get wary of having to email people my videos.

                      • Energy Band Support

                        If this isn't already in the works, MSFT should consider working with one of the manufacturers of the sport/energy bands (see Nike Fuelband or Jawbone Up). These are going to be huge for holiday '12, and currently only integrate with iOS.

                          • Please have icon dock in the bottom as in Iphone and Android

                            A static icon dock in the bottom of start screen is a must. It does not make windows phone same as iphone or android. differentiation should not make user experience difficult. Where ever I am in the start screen I should reach certain icons easily like the phone icon.

                                      • a must thing to do is to remove this **** ristriction for downloading an app or game not more than 20 mb plz do remove this annoying restric

                                        Remove this ****** annoying retriction of nt more than 20mb of download over cellular network... It must be extended to atleast 150 over cellular...
                                        We should be able to download and save a video or song in ie(internet explorer) and it should be shown autoatically in zune player on phone itself
                                        Thirdly the downloaded content should be appeared in a separate place so that it can be easily copied to our pc....

                                        Lastly the keyboard its very tacky at times try to replace it apple or the nokia one....
