BlackBerry needs to fix the following during the US Delay!
So the weekend has gone by, people have been using the phones, and we know the US is simply not getting the phones till March. I'm not happy about it, I've complained about it, but it is what it is. Also pointing to whose fault it is, or petitions, isn't going to accomplish anything (and keep that GD iPetition spam out of this thread)! So now that we are seeing some posts from CrackBerry's team and UK users, it is clear that RIM still has some pretty big omissions in functionality and they should use this coming month plus to address them to try to make the most painful part of the US launch the wait. So let's suck it up, and post what you have heard about BB10 that is missing that you feel must be addressed before the first US Carrier launch. For me so far it is the following:
- Must fix bedside mode to allow phone calls like it works on BBOS7. Right now it appears that bedside mode kills all notifications. While you are at it RIM add in an option to allow users to make a list of people allowed to make the phone ring, or get other messages while in bedside mode. How they could even think about not having this work at least just like BBOS is crazy.
- Make switching from a BBOS to BB10 device more user friendly. I should be able to connect my Bold 9900 to BlackBerry Link software and have a switch device wizard that will migrate over my calendars, contacts, SMS, BBM, and phone logs in an easy step. Huge omission IMHO and see people trying to do workarounds on the forum. Just hooked 9900 up to link and saw transfer option. Some people here must have been trying to do it without software.
- Get the "coming soon" apps you mentioned at the launch delivered by March.
I'm sure their will be more as our friends to the North and across the pond get more drive time with the devices, but feel free to add what you want RIM to have ready for the US release to this thread. May make the wait a little more bearable knowing that others are finding the bugs for us, and hopefully that RIM has them addressed for our launch. Trying to be productive now and not negative!

Bedside mode is supposed to kill all notifications so it doesn't disturb you while you sleep.

You know, I never noticed that option in bb7 XD. That's what I always loved about the old blackberry actually, there's always something you haven't found out yet. I withdraw my silly comment ;-)

These are features that are used on a daily basis and make your life more efficient. It seems, so far at least, that BB10 has lost many -if not all- of these features and doesn't really do anything the competition doesn't do.
Yes, a lot of the little things are missing that came of being an OS that was so mature. I'm hoping that it's mostly because they were concentrating on just getting bb10 out before the company went bust, with the intention of bringing back the old stuff over time that they left out because of time ticking.

Yeah I got that several comments ago. Comment was withdrawn.

Heins said that the BB10 phones will be released within 30 days...so roughly in March...but we Americans are still p.o 'd.
Oh and there is multiple email selection it's just not as simple as the old BBOS phone's were. There is a thread floating around in the Z10 Category with tons of questions to people in the UK who already have the phone and can comment on their feedback.
There is multiple email selection...it just involves having to select the navigation bar, selecting 'select more' and then selecting each email individually. It's there as a feature, it's just much slower than it used to be on os 7.

What's the evidence for this?
