What kind of apps would you like to see? I will write one.
- Hi guys. I've been a lurker here for a while. I'm a long-time embedded software engineer and a recent BlackBerry convert with the Storm.
I'm looking to dive into some application development for the Storm and I'd like to get some insight into what kind of applications you'd like to see.
I'm planning to start with something relatively simple. Any thoughts are appreciated.

- I know there's a full screen caller id app, but it's SO **** UGLY, do you think you could make a nicer one? I'd totally pay for an app that gives full screen caller id with that iPhone sexy style. Here's a pic I threw together to illustrate what I mean. Basically just blowing up any photo to fill, then towards the bottom, have a semi-transparent black box with white text. That means you could use any photo and you wouldn't have to worry about not having the text readable. You'd have to make it so only the hard buttons would answer/ignore a call, but once the call is connected it could go back to the "call in progress" screen with all the soft buttons available. If you can make this I WILL BUY IT :P

This is the character that would be "typed" when you click the screen. It's also the character that you can't (currently) see because it's under your thumb.
YES YES YES!! This is the one! I can't see with my big thumb over the letter. Blue highlight just isn't working. I like the storm alot, but this its major weakness... something similar to iphone where the letter you are hovering on appears in a box above your thumb. Storm users everywhere would be very grateful for this app.01-07-09 11:17 PMLike 0 - I know there's a full screen caller id app, but it's SO **** UGLY, do you think you could make a nicer one?

4)Guitar chord and scales app

Thanks and have fun

That home screen switch depending upon the phone's orientation is the only thing I really hate about the phone.01-08-09 07:46 AMLike 0 - You already have that, sort of. In Excel you can download various checkbook templates, simply email one of them to your Storm, save it and use "Sheet to go to make your updates"01-08-09 09:52 AMLike 0
- I would love an app that would automatically split your SMS message into separate messages if you exceeded the 160 character limit of a SMS.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com01-08-09 02:36 PMLike 0 - any kind of sports app where I can check the scores, standings, stats of the major sports. Also, it'd be nice for the app to update the in game of baseball games.
Plus other sports for people who like all different kinds of sports.01-08-09 05:15 PMLike 0 - i could be wrong, but i dont think RIM has made the keyboard interface stuff available, so no 3rd party keyboard programs....
those of you looking for dial by face, there are a few options... phoneface has released a storm version... and then there is the home-grown hit that dial (face) in the 3rd party apps section...
so cherio! thanks for the future programs, giant cashew01-08-09 05:27 PMLike 0 - 01-08-09 06:00 PMLike 0
