WP7 is great, but it’s still missing some crucial, useful and just plain cool features that I really want on my phone. In no particular order, they are:
- Support for multiple calendars from one source, not just sync the primary calendar from each source
- Live tile to toggle Cellular data, 3G, WiFi and Bluetooth
- Smarter Marketplace search & sort
- Search music collection, not just Marketplace, in Zune app
