Everybody keeps whining about this service & product that isn't officially announced or passed FCC testing and arguing which provider it should be on. You're all missing the bigger requests of simpler things & the larger picture.

Improvements I'd like to see which I'm sure many here would as well.

1) Augmented GUI! Please on a consumer device let me listen to music and go BACK into the media gallery to view photos or a slideshow of my family! I cannot BELIEVE this is overlooked. Can this be done on the Curve, without A2DP headphones? (Actually update the OS for the 8800/30, Curve & Pearl to allow this carrier wide).

2) Compressed HTML email + imbedded links. Have an upgrade - bug free - of the BES to allow for incredible resizing of photos, graphics, stripping of flash imbedded/javascript imbedded; HTML emails to be viewable on ALL devices. Maybe a increase of email size range of 10-60kilobytes, with an option DIRECTLY on the HH to

a) Completely turn ON or OFF HTML email support.
b) Allow to block HTML email of a specific list of addresses ;)


^ This will put RIM WAAAY above the recently enabled html email support competition.

3) (Not sure if THIS is capable) Allow an "action button" within an email to be clicked on - which is set to automatically send an email response to a form with a specific request; similar to accepting a calendar invite. Very similar to what can be done on Domino Notes email (on PC's).

I prefer the ability to do the ABOVE - without having to upgrade from a Pearl to do so; although I will upgrade in September.

I'd LOVE to have WiFi with surfing the web, app OTA downloads or my preference, and UMA support should my carrier support it or not - allowing for VoIP service like Vonage or just something homebrew for internet voip chat.

I think we should be focusing on what things our BB's lack and should be improved upon without concentrating on rumored devices. I love new device announcements as much as the next guy, but give them more substance not just product manufacturing for the sake of variance of models a la Nokia.
