Thanks, keep all the ideas coming. I don't know we'll do with this list, perhaps some developer will look it over and get some ideas.

A few of the suggestions are already valid apps. Doe, yours is in the form of Black & Whitelist OR BerryBlocker OR Call Screener 1.3

1) A simple MP3 player (can be a full media player but I don't care about the movies and such) with an EQUALIZER. Listening to flat mp3's is... painful.

2) Onboard backup application that will back up all databases but saves the backup to the SD card. Including 3rd party apps. Archives would be compressed to save space, and password enforced. AND a small jad/jar that comes with the application that can be stored on the SD card that can enable one to install the app from the SD card (by exploring to the directory), right off of a fresh OS install; and once the app is installed, be able to restore from the backup on the SD card, decompressing on the fly.

3) Fullscreen Caller ID application that uses existing profiles (not the Javatek app, which I own already but don't use).

4) An upgrade to an already great application (BB Profiles Scheduler) but which will switch profiles even if holstered, doesn't use keystroke injection, and automatically sets the profile to a pre-determined setting upon encountering ANY appointment; without using special meetings profiles to accomplish that.

5) A Today Theme that will display more characters (or at least a consistent number of characters) on an email sender name and email subject, an appointment name and appointment location, etc. CONSISTENTLY. That is, not truncate one appointment location at 5 characters and the next appointment location a zero characters (to quote some kids: what's up with that?). To further clarify: if the space is there to display it, DISPLAY IT. If this wish translates to a better Plazmic theme builder rather than specifically a Today theme, so be it.

Excellent thought.

In addition to a PIM , a remote control app for desktop PCs (upon connection, allows viewing and controlling the BB from the desktop).

A link to such app as used in my Pocket PC: Pocket Controller Pro. For convenience or training/presentations, it cannot be beat.

PS I 2nd the idea re the BB-resident backup app...

Pandora radio app

hopefully soon! I am anxiously waiting as well

and a program to shut off the shutter sound. I'm not using it to peep on people, i just want to use it with qipit in class

A scrolling sports ticker similar to ESPN bottom line that could be placed on home screen and scroll live sports scores and/or breaking news depending on user preferences. It would be cool if it also had the ability to click on a certain score and get more information (box scores, play-by-play...).
I haven't even found a good site to visit to get this information, much less an app.

1. Threaded SMS (ala′ the Treo)
2. Backup to memory card.
3. More robust PIM manager.

Anyone seen a RSS app that works over WiFi on BB?

Please ignore my previous comment. It was meant for another post. Something went wrong with this forum or I've made a mistake.

Let's keep the suggestions coming... still curious, and we'll try to keep it free of discussion of all kinds of other applications that may be already available.

My point is for now, to see what the needs are... I don't know what we'll do with it, but I think there is some consensus on the 3-4 needed applications so far.

Any more?

This would be WONDERFUL

Split screen email replying (half the screen the original email, half the screen your reply).

3rd party nascar app (free) 4.2 os for 7100i, and most of all a great 3rd party email app that views attachments (free) I know I ask a lot but this thread asked. hehehe

Wow, wow, wow.

NO QUESTIONS ASKED: threaded SMS messaging! That and maybe full YouTube capabilities. Who cares about www.m.youtube.com I had that on my LG Voyager from Verizon and it sucked. I don't mind the blue.mobil site or whatever it is for now but full YouTube and fully threaded SMS messaging.

All we basically need is an SMS program similar to BB Messenger but where you can talk to contacts in the exact same way. If there way anyway from some of the BB technical gurus to even HACK into the BB Messenger I bet there is some way to add a contact other than through their PIN #.

Application that can load and play flash files SWF. I know that is not likely but it would rock if it could be done...

Time Tracking & Billing.

How about a shopping list that when you click on the item to show it picked up, it asks the price so you have a running total of your bill before hitting the teller.

I always shop with my BB in calculator mode and the list on paper. Merging the two would be great.

hmm something that allows dual calendars. one for work one for personal


A simpler money mgmt app. track it and ascendo while nice are more involved than what I need

Mark an email to "Follow up" and outlook would mark it as follow up as we... The current "Follow Up" program doesn't do this.

I know this is off-topic, but if you are serious about putting down a bet on that, I'll step up and cover the action. I'm betting against the capability.

Wirelessly posted

I would like a newsgroup reader.

This would be fantastic. Threaded SMS is still the biggest for me, though I am still plenty glad to even be able to see my old messages while replying since I've never had that on a phone before.

I can get a $30 weather radio that will scream its head off if there's a storm nearby, but I can be in 30 kinds of peril at once and my $x00 BB won't make a peep.

I want a desktop push application that uses my current latitude/longitude to ping for every kind of alert I may choose to configure - storms - Amber Alerts - escaped prisoners - school lockdowns - road/bridge out - high levels of specific allergens - angry wife - alien invasions - you name it.

Haha save a few of those, sounds like good ol' desktop Weatherbug. I miss that program dearly since I haven't gotten around to finding a version (or equivalent) for a Mac.

And that reminds me.. a free equivalent to Desktop Manager for Macs that could come in the box with the BB. And no, I don't mean PocketMac. I'd like one that actually works and works at the same level of awesomeness!

I'll think of something! LOL

Meanwhile, my main wishlist was was fulfilled by having the backlight come on when someone texts me by BBLights as after all I talked tateu into redoing the code for me and others, PLUS this is FREE!

Once again I thank tateu for taking the time to do that!

So yes folks, keep the wishlists coming... there are nice folks here willing to get-er-dun!

The ability to have and sync, multiple and color coded calendars. Like a home calander and a work calendar, in different colors. Oh and a better agenda view.

I'll second that. I would really like to see a Usenet reader that could post.

That really would be a great application. I know that RIM limits the API functions available to 3rd party developers. While you might be able to write an application that backs up 3rd party data, I don't know how far you could get with backing up data from native RIM applications.

Maybe someone could weight in on that.

Fabulous idea. I had this type of application on my PalmOS devices. It was called BackupBuddy from Blue Nomad Software.

Not enough automation! Use the camera to read the bar code, let the store Bluetooth pricing info, have the data service look up all eligible coupon codes, Bluetooth to the register for scanning-free checkout and let a checkout fingerprint scanner provide the decrypt key for secure payment by the method you chose on your BB (which can also confirm for you there's enough balance there).

All that's missing is a GPS map to all the free sample stations in the store.

Is this what you think of?

I have a few:

1. I would like a nice cardio / weight tracking application that can sync or export to the desktop. I hae checked out all the one available right now but the put a lot more effort into counting calories vs. just tracking workouts.

2. As mentioned above an application lock would be great, I do keep tight control over my BlackBerry but think it would be a nice add on.

Thats it for now.

I would like to see a SIP client for the (Wifi-enabled) BlackBerry devices which would allow you to make phone calls if your carrier does not support UMA.

Self contained desktop application (like you use to have it with the Palms): Easy to use panels on your desktop/notebook for calendar, notes, etc; and synchronizing the BB 1-1 with the desktop/notebook; not having to deal with all the overhead that a corporate Outlook / Lotus Notes etc. installation enforces upon you. Need not include e-mail.

Streaming video! I want a 3rd party client that I can install. I want movies and tv, and whatever content there is to be had on the net, on my BB.
It's the only thing missing from this beautiful device.

(I do not want the crappy quickplay solution some other carriers are going with. I don't want corporate decided content. I want to have access to any content on the net.)
