Show missed calls on the lock screen
It is essential for a phone user to have an overview of missed calls and received messages in a blink of an eye.
This could be easily implemented if there would be according icons on the lock screen.
Right now people have to unlock the screen, which may include typing in the password and this is really too much to just see if there are any missed calls etc.

merge me, people and phone. Why would I not want all of that in one place?
I get frustrated that I view my "wall" in one app and update my status in another, seems very unproductive.
When I am in these apps they link together when selecting different actions. WHY because they should be together!

change default setting for appointment reminder
I wish I could change the default setting for new calendar entries reminders...
I would rather have the default setting for reminders to be 'no' reminder. Every entry I put in my calendar I have to go and change this, no reminder, so I won't get an email for every entry. I know I can turn off calendar email reminders, but I want that to stay set to send an email on entries that I do want a reminder for. Seems like being able to control that default setting shouldn't be that big of a deal.12 votes -

Zune app enhancments, Podcasts enable all so you have a single place for syncing everything with your PC
Zune currently support Audio and Video, the addition would be text based and picture based. Having to have two clients is just unproductive.

Adding Music to Playlists From Phone
Microsoft!!!! It is WAY to difficult to add music from music library on the phone to an EXISTING playlist ON THE PHONE!!! I should not have to plug-in to a laptop everytime I want to add songs to an existing playlist. RIM/Blackberry allows you click on a song that is on your phone and has an option to simply add that song to any of the saved playlists you already have. UPDATE THIS ALREADY, COME ON!!!....And also create a Amazon MP3 App! ZUNE's price are outrageous compared to the competition - Fix this too!

"Vibrate AND Ring" not "Vibrate then Ring"
Let's make another option, becuse now it doesn't vibrate after the first two one. Continuous vibrating is a must have option for noisy environment.

Add arrow button to move caret/cursor when typing
We had these in WM6 - very useful when you need to set the cursor position precisely. Dragging cursor lacks the precision.

Please allow language selection in any windowsphone.com and in the phone marketplace app as well. I don't like the local language.
1. I don't read some local language at where I am and windows phone with location enable alwasy auto load the local language. This is very irritating.
2. Give me an option to fixed my language in www.windowsphone.com to permanently ENGLISH. I don't need local language.
3. Fixed the marketplace app language to English and I don't read the local Malay language even though I am in Malaysia.
4. Even my hotmail log-in page is in local Malay language and I can't find any where in the webpage to change it to English. What is wrong with Microsoft? You expect…

Fix for Autocorrect on german "Umlaut" (and possibly other languages)
I (and others) experience this problem with the german keyboard layout. Whenever I type and correct words with an german umlaut autocorrect will repeat the Word from the position of the Umlaut. For example correcting "Müslo" to "Müsli" (correct spelling) will result in "MüMüsli", or "geräte" will turn into "geräGeräte". This happens in any third party application - NOT in the built-in WP7 apps (SMS, Email, IE). The Error can be reproduced on any device with a german keyboard Layout. These umaluts are accessed by holding a, u, or o down and selecting them from the list that pops up.

Specify Sent/Deleted Items Folders
When I sync my phone to my school email (or any email that is not one of the listed ones such as gmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc...) it creates a "Deleted Items" folder and a "Sent Items" folder, along with the folders that my email actually has (Sent and Trash). I think it would be great if I can specify my existing "Sent" folder to be my "Sent Items" folder and my existing "Trash" folder to be my "Deleted Items" folder. I know I can do that on the iPhone and iPad. I think it would be a good thing to…
