    All apps should be able to work in Landscape mode.
    Calendar reminders should open up into the reminder when slider is opened instead of just going to the home page. Also would be great to have a decent snooze function as in Microsoft Mobiles

    Need the ability to select individual numbers from recent call list to delete rather than having to delete all.
