Suggest & Vote on new Windows Phone Features

Do you have the next best idea for Windows Phone 8? Then what are you waiting for!? Share it! And no, I don’t mean you should waste your energy sharing it in the middle of 1500 comments (or 200 or so) on an Engadget review of Windows Phone 7.5 Mango. No, no, no. That’s a terrible idea. Even if the Windows Phone team at Microsoft actually read all the comments on every Mango review (which, to be honest, they probably do) – they still wouldn’t really know which ones are more popular, or which ones have the highest impact (blocking functionality vs. “nice-to-have” functionality).

Anyway, Microsoft has teamed up with UserVoice.com to create a feature suggestion forum for Windows Phone. Check it out here:

Since Windows Phone 7 and 7.5 Mango have already been released, popular suggested features probably won’t get in until Windows Phone 8, or WP8 or whatever the new name ends up being. Either way – I’m totally excited that Microsoft has open up discussion to the people, and I’m also totally loving their new tagline: Put People First.

Now, if you all would be so kind, please check out some of *my* most desired features (and vote if you agree!):

• Week View in Calendar
• Creating Ringtones Directly On The Phone
• Automatically find your friends on Xbox Live without having to manually ask for and type in their GameTag
• Controlling music with voice commands

You can find all my other suggested features right HERE. Vote for the ones that matter to you, and don’t forget to spread the word and add more suggestions as you hear them from your friends, parents or dog. =)
