                • users of the Nokia Lumia 900 should be able to change the size of the font when composing and/or reading text messages

                  User should be able to change the font. I am wearing glasses and I am still straining my eyes to read and type text messages.

                  • When wake up phone by power key, display more msg such as temperature in addition to # of emails and Calendar before unlock.

                    I love the capability of displaying how many emails in which inbox and Calendar on the main display before unlock. Since corporate security request pass code, it becomes annoying to unlock to know information such as sport scores, local temperature etc. It could be better if one or two live tile is displayed and with customization.

                    • 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)

                      • Must have Skype, Whatsapp, and Wifi hotspot. May have to go to Android get it together

                        Finally Skype for WP, now Whatsapp no longer on WP apps page, and when are you going to do Wifi hot spot. I have friends with Android and all this stuff works with their many different phone models. I may have to do as many have done and go to android.... MS I love you, but must have the basics to travel and do business with a phone. Looks more and more like Android will have to save my business.

                          • Windows Phone 8 for Nokia Lumia 900 and Samsung Focus 2

                            The biggest frustration with the lack of a Windows Phone 8 upgrade path isn't the actual decision, but the change in message from these companies in the first place. When you develop your operating system (WP7) to only support single-core processors, and the CEO of your flagship partner in Nokia's Stephen Elop says that multi-core processors are excessive, you make your customers suspect that the products they buy in 2012 will not be made obsolete mere months after they are released. That you then market those devices as central to your companies' plans then pull the carpet out from under…

                            • No tomar en serio a sus clientes/usuarios

                              Muchas de las aplicaciones no tienen la calidad que uno espera en contenido y función eso hace que sea frustrante.

                              No hay una forma de ver tus vídeos de manera continua.

                              Y no hay un blog por país! increíble y jactarse de ser una compañía internacional.

                              Decepciona su sistema y el hardware.

                                • The ability to allow more than one Windows 7 phone to utilize the zune pass on one account

                                  The family shares music. My zune pass allows 2 zunes and one phone. I would prefer to have the option open to have x devices on the Zune pass allowing for multiple phones.

                                    • How do we make the Windows phone more popular so we can get some of the apps that are only available to other smartphones?

                                      I like my Windows phone very much but I am sometimes disappointed when apps are only available to iPhone and Droid users. I tried to get the Absolut vodka app but it's not for Windows...yet.

                                      • Allow Links & Groups from People Hub to be saved & restored

                                        This feature is not included (apparently) not even in Windows Phone 8. Please, allow us to include in a backup (on SDcard or SkyDrive) those important informations (the links between contacts, and the groups of people we create in People Hub).
                                        Thank you!
