A word about Windows Phone Developer Feedback and Feature Suggestion

  • Article

"Hello there, I think Windows Phone is a cool OS around and I believe if you add support for following features in coming version it would be great!"

I often come across such and similar suggestions and questions from local Windows Phone consumer and even developer community. It appears as if lots of developers too have no idea if a particular API or feature is already requested by developer community or being evaluated by Windows Phone Core Development team or simply ensuring that they're heard?

To ensure you are heard guys had already setup forums for consumers suggestions and developer's feedback. The forums are intact since beginning of Windows Phone 7 but unfortunately not known to most of our local community. Below please find links to each with a brief overview and I would only like to add that participating in such forums will help you understand why upcoming version of Windows Phone are different from your expectations as community is a great driving force. So play your part and read on,
