Any MP3 can be used as a ringtone today. You just need to clip it. No reason for a ringtone to be 12MB and 7minutes long.
I know what he meant... it would be nice to be on the phone and just tap and hold a song and choose use as ringtone. If the OS wants to enforce size limits, it could then open a "clipping" tool (cool if it was like pic crop, where you just reposition the clip in a frame to choose... maybe I should patent this idea).
Enable text reflow in both IE and in any and all PDF reading functionality they add - lack of reflow is a huge weakness which makes WP7 useless in some key scenarios.
Text reflow would be really nice and useful. Not sure I'd call it a huge weakness, but for IE it would be a very nice benefit.
I want WiFi not to shut off whenever the screen goes off, I don't want a 3rd party app to do that.
Agreed.
- Alert tone customization (so I can use something that will wake when I'm on call)
- VPN support
- Encrypted mail support
- Delete multiple SMS messages with checks like in e-mail (for alert storms)
Personally I would also like them to open up Bluetooth access for developers so we can get programs that interface with Bluetooth devices (OBDII readers for example).
Alert tones and Bluetooth are already confirmed in WP8. I totally agree on deleting multiple SMS threads.
As an IT guy, I can say the focus should be on moving away from VPN to cloud-based options like SharePoint. VPN has always been an IT weakness, and frankly it needs to die.
-Arrows on the keyboard so I can put that curser where I want without fighting the "tap" command.
-Quicker access to dialing options.
-A functional laser beam.
I am willing to compromise on the third option. A ninja-star shooter will be fine.
My God, man! You took the thoughts straight from my mind!!!
I freaking HATE the Tap-to-Position feature. So difficult to be precise, so I usually just erase and retype!
And if you don't want freaking laser beams or ninja stars shooting out of your phone, you're probably some whiny hippy pacifist!
Some of the things I would like to see:
MUCH improved status bar / notification center
Being able to attach other files then just images in emails
HDMI out
Being able to have more then just one cell phone nr per contact
More advanced Office features, at least at the level of Office suites to Android/iOS
Being able to multi select files, rename photos and read EXIF info
Charging while off would also be nice.
In order:
-- Agreed.
-- Agreed.
-- Meh. I'd rather do wireless video push to Xbox.
-- Not gonna happen... they'd have to add it to every email service they support-- Hotmail/Outlook.com, Exchange/Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo, etc. Oh, but you CAN create a multiple contacts and link them, and everything should show up.
-- I'm sure that's coming with Office 2013, but could you be specific?
-- Can you give a scenario where this would be useful?
-- I've never had my phone turned off... it doesn't charge? That seems odd...
