You Can Now Suggest Features for Windows Phone 7.8


Soon, two new flavors of Windows Phone will arrive on the market, one aimed at existing devices, Windows Phone 7.8, and another destined for a new generation of hardware, namely Windows Phone 8.

Microsoft has already unveiled a series of features that would make it inside both platform releases, but it was not specific on all of them.

What we know for sure at the moment is that, while Windows Phone 8 will arrive as an important step forward for the OS, Windows Phone 7.8 will include only some of the enhancements in this major platform refresh.

One of them will be the new Start Screen, with resizable Tiles and the like, yet other improvements will also be there for existing Windows Phone users to enjoy.

In an attempt to learn more on what users are looking to find in the next Windows Phone 7.8 release, Microsoft has launched an invitation for users to express their opinion on the matter.

Basically, everyone can head over to this thread on the Windows Phone website and post a few words on his / her expectations from the upcoming OS upgrade.

“As you know, Windows Phone 8 is a generational shift in technology, which means that it will not run on existing hardware,” one of website’s admins noted in a recent post.

“But we care deeply about our existing customers and would like to know specifically what features you would like to see on 7.8 and vote individually for the one that you want most (vs. one large grab bag of features).”

Many have already commented on the thread, suggesting that better SkyDrive integration, OTA updates, new Office app, Skype, Internet Explorer 10 and the like would be highly appreciated features in the Windows Phone 7.8 platform release.

Whether Microsoft will indeed be able to add these in the update or not, it remains to be seen. For the time being, however, it’s good to learn that the company is interested in learning more on what users would like to see in the upcoming software.
