Pinch to Zoom out of the current Homescreen ( Overview of Homescreen )
If you pinch your fingers together anywhere in the Homescreen, you could be able to Zoom out and see all "Pages/ Segments" of Live Tiles at once in other words an Overview of your entire Live Tiles. Then you could tap to Zoom in on a specific "Segment" of the Live Tiles. This would motivate to use much more Large Live Tiles since you wouldn't have to scroll through all Segments! This would really be a big Improvement to the Homescreen and would allow for even more Individuality since the Number of Live Tiles you use, will grow considering you…

Email tiles - display full unread count
Please add the option so that email tiles can always show the full unread message count, instead of clearing each time it's opened. If this could also work for all watched folders under that account, it would be appreciated. I understand that not everyone wants this, but for primarily business users, this is an annoyance.

"Situations" for Windows Phone (GPS, NFC, Profiles)
Nokia once did something in beta labs for Symbian called Situations: An app that can change a lot of settings automatically depending where you are. Once done by GPS this would perfectly fit for NFC as well using cheap NFC tags: Depending where I am or which NFC tag I pass I want my phone to do several things at once, e.g.:
- Put my phone in my jacket: Ringtone volume up, WLAN off.
- Put the phone beside my bed: Airplane mode on, Ringtone up.
- Put the phone on the console of my car: Bluetooth on. Ringtone up…

Top level Windows Phone with Dual SIM
Me and many of my colleagues have a professional phone for emails and calls but we need for another top level phone for our personal uses as entertainment , navigation tools, social network and other apps.
So ALL of us have bought another top level phone and we are forced to bring with us 2 phones and we have to buy 2 different wall charger, 2 different car charger, 2 protective skin, 2 cover and other accessories.
It would be very nice have a WINDOWS PHONE 8 TOP LEVEL with DUAL SIM.
Why Nokia or other top phone manufactures don't…14 votes -

HTC Windows Phone 8X needs custom alert tones and personalized Text tones!! This is the biggest downfall of the phone and my husband and I
HTC Windows Phone 8X needs custom alert tones and personalized Text tones!! This is the biggest downfall of the phone and my husband and I are seriously considering changing phones because of it. We love the Windows phone besides a few key features that other smartphones and even basic phones do that this does not.
Cannot use custom tones for txt or other alerts. Need to add Txt tone option to contact profile.
Volume control does not include alarms, my alarm goes off in the middle of work even if the phone is on silent.These are the biggest downfalls.

Mes vœux aujourd'hui c'est de voire ma langue n'ko incorporé dans les appareils surtout les window phones qui sont accessibles à bon marché par les africains sur tous les parleur de cette langue n'ko qui font plus de 40millions dans l'Afrique de l'Ouest.
Cela pourra augmenté l'achat des ces outils par la plupart de la population qui ne savent que ce langue et leur facilitera de bien comprendre le monde extérieur et de facilite l'apprentissages des autres langues comme l'anglais, le chinois, l'arabe et le français.

to solve a problem with the microphone
Allows you to adjust the noise reduction. When I'm calling from a quiet room, no one hears me. Maybe it's because of the good noise reduction

Please make Zune Software working on Windows Phone 8
Please make Zuhe Software working on Windows Phone 8, or a similar Software to manage Music, it's so bad to make Playlists on the Phone or in Windows Media Payer, no drag and drop is working, even tried with Win Amp and itTunes, none is working well, in Zune it was the best Solution. Thank You.

Please add speed dial/favourites/drop down list for making a phone call
Please remember our devices are phones. Adding speed dial or favourites WITHOUT having to pin all these contacts to your start screen (it takes up too much space) is a very straight forward and necessary idea.
Also, if you start typing a number or the name of the person you want to call (using T9), it would be a good idea for a drop down list of the contacts to appear.

Add N.O.V.A 3 for WP7.8 (this game is online and wp7 are friend with wp8, wp7 players are more). Thank you
N.O.V.A. 3 is online game. WP8 players are for example: 30000 people, but WP7 players are 90000. 30000 + 90000 = 120000 people ano it is more when 30000. Please.... WP7 is write-ofs (forgotten) now. WP7 people are yours children. Thank you!

Use Windows RT for Phones instead of WP
First off let me say that I love Windows Phone, Ever since I first saw it. But instead of creating a completely separate OS from tablets. Why not unify it by using Windows RT for Phones? RT is a far more established and complete OS then Windows Phone. It already supports All Processors like Tegra and Intel. It has unified Search. It has Multi-View (you can see 2 Apps at the same time) and it would work great with its heavy gesture based navigation on a phone and the UI would look awesome on a Phone.
