Phone Profile - GPS Integration -

An app that allows for profiles to be set based on the GPS location of the device. There would be a need for a default profile, and a GPS sensitivity/proximity setting. The last piece would be the UI to set the profile; Use Current, or Enter Coords, then set the profile to use.

This would allow for Quiet Profile when I get to the office, then when I leave for lunch (no matter what time) an auto switch to Normal Profile, then upon returning to the office the phone returns to the Quite Profile.

Awesome idea...

Not push enough - all it tells me is that there's a message waiting - which I can read when I'm done driving - except I'm about to drive into a police fire fight or a tornado or a giant hole in the ground or a falling bridge - and don't know it.

Flash player.

I always get a good headline in Viigo and it leads to a Flash link that I can't play. It pisses me off!! Viigo project tango should be out pretty quick for beta testers...

The beta has been out for a while...
http://www.blackberryforums.com/afte...-ota-link.html

Although these are things that belong in the OS...

1. An email app that conforms to basic email standards. I should be able to enter the app and find my mail in various folders, or under tabs, for each email account. I should be able to edit quoted text in email replies, with smart handling of '>' characters. I should be able to suspend and restore email delivery on any account from the device, without having to go to BIS on a desktop machine, so that if I cross the US border I can easily avoid massive data roaming charges. There should be a Trash folder for deleted mail, with optional nightly automatic emptying. These are all things that I was able to do on my Sidekick, and I think the BB should be able to do them as well.


2. An app that allows complete customization of hotkeys from the home screen. Again, this is something that should really be an OS feature, but since it isn't... If I want to assign 'J' to JiveTalk I should be able to do so.

Thanks, man!! I got an email from Viigo over 2 weeks ago saying that I'd be sent a link for the official beta in a couple weeks. I guess I won't need to wait on that anymore.

Solid ideas. I really like #2. I would really like to see a Macro engine on a mobile device. Macro Engine + shortcute app keys would be really nice.

I would like to see an application that basically could combine email / call / sms / mms / pin blocking, but allow you to setup profiles of when to block each of them and also allow autoresponders. This idea has been somewhat successfully achieved via some Symbian S60 software, but none yet for the blackberry, yet...

Yes we have iCall and other programs that block either email, sms/email, calls, but I want all.

Two main things come to mind:

1. An application that resides in your email menu that allows you to save any (or all) attachments to your SD card. It does not have to know what type of file they are - just be able to save them to the SD card and in a selectable folder.

2. A good financial tracking application. Mobifinance has the right idea but falls short IMHO. I'm not talking a check register, but something that tracks all types of investments (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, assets), buys and sells, and links with OTA data for current updates. Bonus points for analytics such as charts with variable viewing periods, key stock metrics and ratings, profile details, etc. Maybe something that pulls together user selectable data from sites like MSN finance and Yahoo finance and allows me to analyze within this application.

Honorable mention:

a. A native PDF reader (I hear one is coming?)
b. A flash reader that integrates into the BB web browser for web sites with flash content.

The abilty to have other calendar entries and sync (personal) that do not sync with the BES calendar. I want to track business and family agendas on the Blackberry but don't want personal entries on corporate servers or potentialy marking me busy during business hours. When you create a new appointment it would ask you which calendar you want it on. I've played with Google sync but it ends up sync everything with the BES and vice versa.

1) Threaded SMS

2) Gmail contacts sync

3) Scheduled call forwarding - I get horrible reception in my office, so when I'm there, I forward my calls to my desk phone. I'd like to be able to program in specific times to forward to either voicemail or my desk phone.

I've heard many users say they'd like to see an application that allows one to record phone conversations. Nextel phones have it so I assume blackberry's should ALSO have it.

Voice Recorder/Phone Conversation Recorder with the option to email the conversations to your email for playback.

Today I bought software through a company that only allows directions through the phone...so I had to go purchase a tape recorder to record...If my blackberry did it I could've just used my phone instead!

A To Do or Task program that is exactly like the ones I had when I owned the Palm PDAs. It was just great. It had a check box, date due, description, categories, priority. Best of all you could list the task based on these factors.

Yes there are many out and I am currently use Pockey Diary List but it's still too bloated for me. RIM's original supplied one is too simplistic on the other end of the spectrum.

Number one for me is a memo application whereby when one hits the icon on the blackberry it automatically jumps to an open memo where you can start typing right away without hitting any other key, thus being able to catch a quick note with absolutely NO delay in action typing, this would be so cool or maybe RIM would just adjust the memo app to have this option.

Or an application called peditPro from the Palm platform, if we had this, it would be amazing

Just a thought, IdeaMatrix may work for you. It does have a lot of feature but sounds like something that might benefit you.

I am aware of it. Over bloated and over engineered for me. Thanks though.

You can probably implement what you want using a spreadsheet app like GridMagic, which is free for the community edition. Leave the top line for the total, then list all your shopping. Fill in the price as you go and the top line can contain a SUM() function to add up the prices column. You could even support a cost per item and buying N items.

How about an email scheduler.
The user can compose a message and schedule its release for a later time.
This is can be done on Outlook Exchange now.

Yeah and no worries!

I did not search all the replies......and Im sure that thisis here...but none the less.....I'd like to see a peice of software that will take BB messenger Chats..and archive them...I guess it would only be possible if we have memory card....

It's the top one for me,

An app that can record your phone conversation onto an SD card.

I play multi hour Mp3s.
All must be started at the beginning.
No fast forward either. (I have to listen to commercials on my BB, only)
Currently I hack around this by cutting the MP3s up in small pieces of 15 minutes.
A hugely time consuming fix for sloppy/lazy programming.
I guess RIM saved a buck. Apple's going to tear RIM up.

I miss suretype and would like to enable it on my BB even though it has a qwerty keyboard.

Multi-IM app like IM+ or JiveTalk which also has Skype chat.

I would like to be able to bookmark long audio files, so I could easily start up again from where I left off.

A bloat free, nice interface to IMDB.com

...finally availible:
VibAndRing - Personal Productivity Blackberry Software on MobiHand

I want an app that allows me to make folders to sort and store my different emails. ooooh an threaded sms wouldnt hurt either!!!! And while we are all it why not a REALLY good today screen?

I want an app that ties in with a BB repair facility so i can see what parts cost or repairs cost and have communication with techs

Four things come to mind:

• A shopping list application - something like HandyShopper on the Palm/Windows platforms
• Ebook reader options beyond MobiPocket - something that can handle the Palm "doc" format or derivatives, for example, possibly as an extension of local HTML document viewing. An interesting alternative might be a local-only web server feeding files from the SD card if the browser can connect to 127.0.0.1/localhost. Opera Mini, etc. would be out because they feed everything through their proxies.
• A desktop application to configure Profiles. I'd like to change things to have Loud/Normal/Discreet/Vibrate/DoNothing, but I don't want to spend hours customizing each one by scroll-clicking every little nested event's options.
• Shared Task Management - This would mostly have to be server-side and could probably be done via browser. Basically online support ticketing.

[quote=fencepost;962583]Four things come to mind:[list][*]A shopping list application - something like HandyShopper on the Palm/Windows platforms


There is one called SplashShopper which is good. I use to have a Treo and I used HandyShopper.

I've always wanted an application that will switch your wallpapers.. I'm pretty sure I posted a request for it when I joined this site..

txt message spam filter..... hands down my biggest requirement

A good IRC Client.
And a open source JiveTalk

1. Threaded SMS - BIGGEST thing for me.
2. Backup to memory card.

is something like an alarm, except it doesnt ring an alarm, it just automatically restarts the blackberry. something that would trigger soft reset. So that you can set it to do it everyday at say 3a.m. when you are sleeping and so you dont have to worry about memory leak and deleted calls and messages. I'd love that!

Rob

It almost sounds like a Task Scheduler, which would be a very cool thing.

Backup to memory? I'm sure that IS possible, in least the data such as contacts, emails, etc...

That and once a while whole device backup will make bb file loss nearly impossible.

I always wanted a really simple program that gets GPS location and emails it to email address I set when bb gets a special email with keyword. For example, I send an email with word "SendMeWhereYouAre" word in it to my blackberry address and it just replies with gps location. That would be very nice program to use if I somehow lost my blackberry.
