Hi,

What are some features you wish RIM would add?

I have 2 (of which 1 has a work around, but cant find one for the other):

1. Turning off (or customizing) the shutter sound when taking pictures.
and
2. Being able to add a ringtone to Private/unkonw calls

any others....

Keyboard shortcuts for changing profiles

That would be nice.

Personalized text ringtones for different people would be cool too. (Kind of picky though)

But I'm not complaining. I love my blackburry

I wish the calendar was more user friendly.

1. Multiple alarm settings.
2. Better calendar options.
3. Support Outlook Connector for web-based email accounts.

Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head, but I may come back to this thread with more!

An automatic option that would send unknown callers straight to vm.

Oh that would be so perfect. I get so many unknown calls and have to hit mute when I hear that ringtone.

I wish they had a dash between the area code and the phone number. Pretty difficult to read a number when all the numbers are jumbled together.

2) Ability to run apps from memory card.

3) Substantial increase to device memory.

Full integration with Outlook. Mailing lists, birthdays, full HTML, bold, italics, underline when typing. The BackBerry is THE email machine but you can't type in bold face type, how silly.

More customisation options all over the OS. I know that this will increase the size of the OS so they had better start shipping phones with more memory too. Just stick a gig in and be done with it.

People have mentioned some of them. Since recently coming from WM its kinda hard to complain about my Sophieberry but let's see:

-color options for separating email accounts in message list.
-ability to sync calendar with desktop calendar & desktop email contacts
-ability to save applications to sd card.
-large photo incoming call options
-ability to get flash of incoming message on home screen without having to click in message list.
- microsoft office installed!

That's all I can think of right now, but I'm sure I'll revisit this topic.

The ability to completely customize contacts for example when adding phone numbers I could just keep adding mobile phones under the same person...

Flags for email, sms, etc. So I know I still need to respond to them (currently have to mark items as unopened as a reminder to respond)

It is available in OS 4.6+, so at least it's being addressed.

+1 The standard alarm is sub-par. The alarm in 4.6 is far better with customization, but you can still only set one.

There are several apps for that.

There are 4 user-defined fields at the bottom of each New Contact entry.

I set a generic old phone ringtone to the phone and each person in my address book has their own ring tone. If I hear the old phone ringtone I know it's not someone I'd expect and so I mute it. If they know me they should leave a voice mail. To this day I have never had a unknown caller leave a voice mail.

I need the ability to copy/paste appointments in calendar. I can't believe there is no way to do this.

Browser: I'd like the zoom level to maintain when following links. Needing to re-zoom in on every page, just to find a link to the next page is a pain.
