Over all I love my BB Z10 but would love to see some of the old BB features like Notification Profile settings and BB Bridge Features. A good mixture of both old and new would make the BB Z10 a kickass device!

No argument there. Notification diversity is a good thing, and from what I've read, profiles are sorely missed by many.

I think that many Blackberry faithfuls are going to be disappointed with the lack of the great true blackberry features. Lot of the features were unique to the BBOS. If they don't bring back some of these features they might lose those who stood by them all this time or they will stay with the older devices. Don't get me wrong, I love the new features but those new features would be nice with some of the old.

Lately I got a bit of a deja vu when looking now at BB10 post-launch. It remembers me a few years back when Microsoft made the transition from Windows Mobile 6.x to Windows Phone 7. Though the loyal Microsoft fans got a fresh, new OS, which was faster, delivered a unique UX, supported the most modern standards and hardware, people weren't completely happy. What happened? Microsoft ditched many smaller or larger features when going from Win Mobile to Win Phone, features the userbase used to have and now they have been taken away from them.

I for one can't understand why we don't get USB-sync with Outlook or any other classic desktop based PIM software. Why the need of reducing the profile system that much? While I agree the existing BBOS profile system was pretty complex, there is no need to remove it like that. Why no color change for LED notification? That has just been introduced to OS7.1 late november last year. Bridge is a vital thing for all Blackberry and Playbook owners, why reduce the featureset for a new OS? I only hope they have just developed a basic version for BB10<->PBOS while saving the "real deal" later for BB10<->PBBB10.

Somehow it feels like BBRY has done quite some steps forward with BB10, however also went a few steps back with that new OS10. After all those delays I can't understand why some of those features are missing. However I am glad they delayed it, I don't wanna know in what kind of state BB10 would've been for the Q3/2012 launch....

In BBOS, the email app would remember the address I last used to write to any given contact, so the next time I composed an email to that contact it would automatically use that address. Does BB10 do this?
