Can you bypass the hub by putting the email app on the home screen?
- OP, I get what you are saying.
In theory, clicking a email icon would be the quickest, most direct method to get into your email. But wouldn't it be the quickest only if you are at your "homescreen" we will call it. Really its just your 1st pane of icons.
You are at your 1st pane, you click the email icon, bam, you are in your email. Plain and simple. But if you are in a app doing something, then you have to go back to your "homescreen" and then find your email icon, then click it.
I think having the hub is the best way overall to get to your email from anywhere. A simple gesture. From any screen.

I have now been using the Q10 for about a week and yes the Hub is great but am I really asking for so much for there to be an email Icon on the home screen for emails. That way I can get to it quickly by one quick press if I am on the home screen? I just don't believe that I am crazy asking for this as so many of you out there seem to believe I am.05-21-13 07:41 AMLike 0
- I've had a Z10 since it came out in Vancouver and use it hours a day and I want an email icon on my main screen. That why it's called a main screen. I know BlackBerry had to do something different for marketing, but when I swipe open my Z I want to see all my main apps and icons. If the hub works for you great ,but some of you sound like I fanboys with your childish comments and attacks. Personally I would turn it off/hide it if I could . I don't know why they didn't put an icon on the main screen, they did for the others. But even if it's third party I will get email on my main screen.

- I appreciate I m talking to the experts and am keen to learn but going inton the hub means you first have to swipe from the home page and then press the email symbol to get in.. If you on the home page you would just need to press the email icon(if there was one) and then you are where you want to be. All I am saying is that having an icon it just gives you another easy option. Am I really asking for too much here? If they have given you an icon for texts, Facebook,twitter etc why can't they give you an icon for emails?
Notifications are just a swipe up FROM WHEREVER you are at, up and over to access the Hub. No need to return Home, no need to see if it is in an Active Frame, no need to look for the icon screen that contains the email icon.
Think of it as a permanent Active Frame that is on the left.05-21-13 12:46 PMLike 0 - Nope. You can't. You have to add your email accounts to the Hub. If you want, you can search BlackBerry World for third party email apps. Otherwise, the Hub is where the email is always at. The Hub rocks. Not sure why anybody would want a separate app for that anymore. To each their own I suppose.

If I'm wrong, would be grateful for anyone to tell me what I'm doing wrong. If I'm right, can anyone justify why I have to go to hub only to find I have no new messages?
Thanks in advance,

The Hub is not as good as the Messages icon. The Messages icon took you to your email, txt, bbm, etc. if you wanted all in one place.
The Hub takes you back to the last place you were in the Hub. So I if I want to either get to my email list or bang out a quick email instead of just click 'm' or 'c' or clicking on the Messages icon in BB7 now I have to:
1. Swipe up to the right
2. Back out of the txt/bbm/pin message I was in
3. Back out of the Hub app that was open at the time (txt, bbm, pins)
4. touchscreen my way back to my email
It's 3 long extra steps. The apologists don't seem to care but everyone I know with the Q10, including myself does!
You ****ed up RIM- admit it you arrogant self righteous pricks!05-21-13 07:48 PMLike 0 - I don't think you're crazy either. Plus, if you are in the HUB, and you are responding to say a message from your personal e-mail, and then leave the hub. Next time you pick up your phone, you have work e-mails you need to check. Well doesn't the hub leave off at your personal e-mail, so then after you've swiped into the HUB you now need to hit back a couple times to check your work e-mail? I think the option of having an icon on the home screen that goes directly to e-mail (or work e-mail) is a good idea.05-21-13 07:51 PMLike 0

Who, exactly, is the one being arrogant and self-righteous around here? I could name a few...05-21-13 08:13 PMLike 0 - I've been watching some reviews and checked it out in a Roger's store but I don't remember seeing the email app on the
home screen. I really have no use for the hub and all of the swiping to get to the email app when a simple icon on the
home screen would do the job and be much faster to access. Could a user please confirm the email app can be placed
there. Thank you.
The choices are obvious: you either learn to use the Hub and enjoy BlackBerry 10 or move to other platforms.

Need to see what type of message? Just swipe up slightly to see the message indicators on the left, or click the button on your Android device or iPhone. A quick swipe should be about as discreet as pushing a button.
Need to see more? Swipe over to the right, or swipe down on other devices. That should be about as discreet on all devices.John Pawling likes this.05-21-13 10:05 PMLike 1 -
There's also many options within the OS itself, just not as many as HUB++John Pawling likes this.05-21-13 11:11 PMLike 1 - If all you want to do is add see if you have received a message, just look for the blinking LED. No blink, no need to swipe.

HUB++ will allow you to set a mind-blowing amount of notifications for just about everything the Hub covers. You can use LED, sound or vibration or a combo of them. A huge array of color combos, even Disco LED.

Posted via CB1005-21-13 11:19 PMLike 0 - The whole point of 'peek and flow' in BB10 is so that you can access your messages, be it email, sms etc. quickly and efficiently. A separate email icon on the home screen is a step back in my opinion.

Pity management can't take head out of *** long enough to see the sinking ship. I'm the only friend I have still using BlackBerry who switched to the Q10. None of the others will. They look at my Q10 and shrug it off as inferior to their Bold models. All business people.05-22-13 11:51 AMLike 0 -
It's just a different way of doing things.
