ignore notifications
The user should be able to control how long notifications stay at the top of the screen. When I'm reading the kindle app, I often find that a text message pops up and it obscures the text at the top of the page. sometimes I don't wish to answer a text right then and there. Wifi is the same way. I wish there was an ignore button for those notifications

Feedback apollo update for winpho 7.5
Microsoft's decision to not provide apollo update to those who just bought the lumias and other recent windows 7.5 phones is pure ****. I am so ****** off about this that I will never buy another windows phone again. So much for trying to differentiate yourself from android and its ongoing fragmentation. It seems Apple is the only company that knows how to treat their customers. Thanks Microsoft for forgetting about those who supported you up till now.

- Paypal not available in the Marketplace
- localized app. names even when another language is selected in Phone settings (example: for downloading and searching in the marketplace one needs to know multi-lingual application's name in local language. Once downloaded, the name of the app. in the phone is changed to use the…5 votes -

Remove Games from the Application area of Marketplace
When you launch the marketplace application in Windows Phone you you are able to go into sub-categories. These include apps from your service provider, apps from your OEM, Applications, Games and Music. Games should go into the Games section and other Applications to the Applications section, I think this is very basic.
Why do I believe this needs to be implemented?
Say you want a cool app (not a game, but an app of another type) you open Marketplace, click Applications and if you swipe over to the "top" list, it is dominated by games. Since games have their own…3 votes -
