Windows Phone 7 what we need soon

Everybody is talking about the next Windows Phone 7 big updates. I am sure it will be awesome (Copy & Paste) but please can we also have:

- Better screensaver management. Fed up about downloading apps to realize screen goes blank and then have to restart everything. If I download something, I should have the option to keep the screen on.

- Apps updates are still buggy. Many times I receive an app update but the update page download nothing. In this case uninstall and reinstall are my best friends.

- Folders please. My app list start to be very long!

- Simpler way to answer a call. When the screen is locked and I need to answer a call I have to slide up then click on answer. When you walk and carry something, I don't want to be a yoga master to use my phone. On this one, my wife is giving up on me not answering the calls. Microsoft please solve my domestic issue!

- OS stability. I am not sure if it's the HD7 to blame for that one, but I noticed recently some crash. Or sometime I can see that the hub tiles flicks slightly, like a bad tuned analogue TV. At least the full shutdown function works well.

- Wifi/Bluetooth/3G switch on the hub is missing. It's a real pain in the butt to have to use the settings all the time to save the precious battery.

 - Outlook direct connection. I think on this one we need to organize a protest, maybe a it-in outside MS headquarters? I still can't believe that guys you didn't include a connection to Outlook. Not all of your customers are working in multinational companies with Exchange connections pouring out of each cubicle.

- Camera. Not the important thing for me, because I give up with the poor image quality of the HD 7, especially in low light conditions. The noise on my pictures is too much and as an amateur photographer, I am ashamed to show anyone any pictures. Also the settings should be saved. The last baby I photographed has now a permanent grief against me after waiting for me fumbling so long with the flash/no flash icon.

 - Battery life. This one is hard to fix, but not so if HTC and others could provide better batteries. Could do also with a rough estimate to tell me how long I have before the phone goes off.

- Case. I am still looking around for an HD 7 case, in case someone read this.

- Hub colours. Just tired of the uniform lime green, like to have a way to create my own rainbow.

- Facebook Twitter multiple accounts.

 - Tiles better synchronization. Take the Marketplace tile for example. You have a lovely number telling you 3 updates are waiting for you to do something then on the Marketplace, only 2 are available. Same for the Mail tile. On my phone, when the screen locks, I am reminded that I have one email to read. Since three weeks it's permanently there for no reason.

- FM radio. Something I discovered yesterday. If you use the radio with internal speakers and charge the phone in same time(not plugged in the pc but from the mains), for some reasons, a lot of noisy interferences happens, putting the app in the useless category.

I surely forgot other things to be fixed, but maybe if you have a minute can you tell me what you would like to be fixed in the future on your Windows Phone 7?
