Dev Platform
Welcome to the Windows Phone Developer Feedback site
This forum focuses on the developer platform (APIs, runtimes, and controls) that you use to build great app experiences for Windows Phone. Additional WPDev forums are available using the links along the right of the page. Consumer features suggestions should be submitted to the Windows Phone Suggestion Box site (http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/).
Suggestions provided via the WPDev UserVoice forum will be reviewed and read by the Windows Phone developer platform team, providing feedback to help with planning ideas and to better understand how developers are using the development platform, and all suggestions will be considered.
Two important notes about this site: (a) List items (and item rankings) represent community interest in features, and does not represent an actual priority list for the product team; and (b) Suggestions made using this forum will be moderated if they do not actually represent a feature request.

Mango supress the 'next page' link in IE menu. That's inconvenient when we press the back button accidentally or by error.

Unbroadcast SSID
My corporation's WIFI SSID is not broadcast--as is not uncommon practice. Being unable to enter that SSID prevents me from using my WP7 phone as a corporate device.

Microphone button on Keyboard
The voice to text feature on WP8 seems incredible, but the option to use it is rarely presented. It would be nice, as with android, that the voice to text feature be a button on the keyboard and thus always available. This would be especially nice when in the car.

Access to the filesystem (external)
Please allow the access to phone filesystem. It would be a great benefit if the developers can manipulate the sdcard resources etc etc.
I know that storage and storing information is limited to the application context. I'm android developer, I've been through interoperability guide and read about this. I've been wondering if something can be done through the silverlight, but all that failed since read that.Cheers,

Debug over Wifi
When you unplug a WP device from your computer while debugging, you get an error message that the device on an IP address and port is no longer responding. If the debugger connects to the phone via IP, then why not allow for debugging over the local network? That way, someone can develop for Windows Phone in a Hyper-V VM, and still debug on a physical phone, just without plugging it in. There ought to be a way to build a Debug Agent app that can broadcast itself to the network so Visual Studio knows where to look.

Print using ePrint/Airprint
On all the ... buttom right, where I can share etc I would like to be able to print. It needs to be and integrated part of the phones functionality, that is why I put it in Framework. No app-driven solution.
Having a lot of i-gear, iPhone, iPads etc that can print, it is dissappointing not beeing able to use the equipment I already own.
I'm sure a lot of potential customers have the same contemplations but decides to stay on iOS instead of switching.HP have the ePrint functionality, Apple the Airprint. Can you not make connection to these…

Subscribe to Custom Podcast with URL
In Mango I do not see a way to subscribe to a podcast by entering in the URL. There should be a way to do this. I am liking the new download over WiFi feature.
