Instant Reply 10.3 Updates!! - Concept
Okay so like my previous concepts, this one is more generic...I didn't bother adding anything to my active frames concept (which can be seen here - http://forums.crackberry.com/general...oncept-916695/ )
This one is much more basic and shows off the idea I had in regards to how instant reply should function in a future update!

This first one is simply showing the current appearance of the instant reply, minus the "X" - "Close" button because the update disappears after a couple seconds anyways and it doesn't make sense to show the X...BlackBerry is about productivity, they can either wait till it close, or reply!

This second one is showing that the user can interact with the notification by dragging down on the "instant reply box" and that is indicated with a cool arrow to indicate the user can drag it down to access more information.

The third picture shows how the screen will work when pulled down to halfway...it will show the ENTIRE message that was sent that moment, with the option to click in the text box to reply. This screen only shows the very last message you received only, and allows to reply...after sending the message the screen will move up and disappear off the top of the screen. Alternatively, if you choose not to reply right then, all you simply do is flick the screen up and it will fly off the screen. As seen below, the screen moves up with your finger (unless you do a fast flick motion...fast flick will throw it off instantly...dragging will move with your finger) IT IS TO BE NOTED THAT THIS SCREEN IS PULLED DOWN ON TOP OF WHATEVER SCREEN YOU WERE ON BEFORE! IN THIS CASE ACTIVE FRAMES SCREEN, BUT IT COULD ALSO BE A YOUTUBE VIDEO, PICTURES SLIDESHOW, MUSIC APP, CALENDAR, ANYTHING!!!

This final screen shows the "Full Screen Instant Reply" function. This one allows the user to view much more than the typical instant reply or half screen. It will show you your entire conversation with that person. It will allow you to scroll through the entire history between the two of you. This provides more detail if required (back story is important in many cases). Again all this is done while being on top of whatever it was you were doing before, the arrow at the bottom of the screen shows the user that you can swipe up to get rid of this screen if you don't want to reply.

With all this being said and shown here, please understand I did not spend much time on the detail of the conversation boxes as that is not the concern here...it can use the current BB10 conversation box stylings, and whatever it will look like in the future...that will be consistent among messaging. The key features here is the ability to turn an instant reply where you can only see a limited amount, into either the full message, or the entire conversation all with a simple drag down on the instant reply box!
