[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
We can discuss this back and forth for hours without really getting anywhere, but if there is one thing just about everyone I know considers a bug it is this - it may not be as noticable on some phones as others (I have the Omnia7 and generally flick a couple settings each time) because of missing/extra features.

Your settings being saved would provide you with exactly this - you would get the same settings every time you started the camera. Until you changed them of course, at which time they would become your new default settings.

In any case, let's not get hung up on the camera settings - how about we discuss the marketplace bug instead? or perhaps the quality of images on contact's live tiles? or how the sound levels sometimes gets all screwed up (not to mention the fact that in order to turn of notification sounds you either have to trawl thru settings or also silence the ringer - I know, not a bug as such, but definitely a more important add-on than copy'n'paste) or I know, how about the bug whereas it will continue large downloads over 3G if it drops WiFi connections.

Heck, what about bluetooth syncing and the Facebook filter not working? or perhaps you're more of a Youtube fan, in which case it's real annoying how the youtube plugin relies on your browser being set to mobile mode - I mean, who uses mobile mode these days?

Or maybe you're a developer, like myself. Wouldn't you love to have a camera API? Yes, there already is one, but it's crap. There's also another one which is actually okay, but we're not allowed to access it (for marketplace apps). What about direct Live ID/Facebook authentication? The OS already knows who you are, none of the auth data need even be entering our third-party servers. How about a contact or calendar API? So many apps cannot be written due to half assed API's at the moment, and as far as I understand it there is nothing new in terms of this in the first update.

I could go on and on, and yes I realize some of my gripes can certainly be seen as feature requests rather than actual bugs whereas others are clear cut bugs - that's not the point though. My point is they need to start doing something about them, it doesn't take four months to patch up some of these holes, not even with extensive testing to make sure it hasn't broken anything else.

It doesn't even have to be big things. Take the marketplace crashes for example, had these been fixed in a hotfix I would be happy - I'd have seen that something was happening. As is, all we see are reports and rumors of updates coming "very very soon" (quoted from Belfiore during launch) only to see Microsoft backtrack and refer to them as coming in the "next few months" (from CES). Keep this up and they'll kill the platform for sure.

Sorry, but I get a little flustered when Microsoft keeps showing they don't have a clue. Not only did they **** up the launch, with little to no devices available in stores for weeks or lacking localized support, but now they continue to screw things up by waiting and side stepping issues. They've been doing the same thing for years with various platforms (as a dev I have seen some huge errors in judgement over the years), but I keep coming back because they often have some of the best ideas and promising products availabe - general consumers may not be as forgiving.
