I would add that the footprint of these apps should be as small as possible, to conserve internal memory.

I would love to see the ability to install and run apps off the memory card.
My other "unwritten" app is Pocket Informant for BB. I know it's in the works, but I've been waiting patiently and it's taking a LONG time! Until I see it, it's still in the unwritten category.

I would like to see a program that would clean out cache and cookies but have an option to save certain cookies.... similar to ccleaner for pc.

What would be nice is on 4.3 - along the lines of the last post, if they (RIM) can work that into the memory cleaner, hell yeah that would be awesome. Possibly have something of a schedule to to auto clean as well!

Threaded SMS is the only thing I can think of. Everything else i'm perfectly happy with.

I would like a utility that would allow me to create and use multiple profiles to be used throughout the day, switching between them during scheduled times. There are times I want to receive audible alerts on all incoming data traffic, times I want alerts for e-mails and phone calls only, and times for level 1 messages only.

For example, I'd use one profile during normal business hours, another during the early evening, and then switching to another one for overnight hours.

What is a pocket informant? A reminder/alarm program?

Noob - post numero uno.

I want a complete desktop manager. Anything I can manage, alter, select, delete, move, position, etc, etc. on my BlackBerry - I want to be able to do on a PC which has a screen size about 30 times as large and an easily controllable mouse.

I've searched for a while and have not found anything. It's not in BlackBerry Desktop Manager (4.2) where it should be.

Thanks.

Pocket Informant is a complete PIM (Personal Information Manager) that has been wildly successful for Windows Mobile and is being ported to Blackberry. One of my pet peeves with the Blackberry has been what I consider a weak calendar, and there really are no replacements available. Pocked Informant aims to change that and give us a choice of PIMs for the Blackberry.

A long time complaint about the Blackberry Desktop Manager. Oh well, maybe one of these days!

I would spam my kids phone with this. As long as it can be disabled from the phone, I really like this idea.

Custom Vibrating: i.e. SMS messages = 3 short pulse vibrates, Phone Calls = 2 Long Pulse Vibrates.. I would love to know what the alert is before I unholster it..
Threaded SMS's

I would like somehting like Agedus for palm and wm. I would also like to see more that two appointments on the home screen. Of course, I am a newbie and there may be a way to do that. Still learning all this BB lingo. This forum is awesome though!

wallpaper changer for me

the new themes will allow this to be customized. For instance, if you dont want missed calls, and only want calendar, you could have the next, i *think*, 10 appointments show on the screen.

GPS driven application for waking you when on the bus or train (the latter only being really reliable on elevated trains or otherwise not underground) and are approaching your stop.

I just saw an new program, a new "shutter" sound muter available on Crackberry. ($3.95) It says it isn't compatible with CDMA devices though.

I agree with the automatic wallpaper change and flashlight! While we are on that subject, I think screen savers seem kind of fitting too, I don't know why, (ya it would waste battery life) but it just seems so fitting sometimes. I think I catch myself staring at my blackberry sometimes, waiting for a screen saver to pop up, I must be confusing it with my PC. While we are on the flashlight subject, I know this can't be done with software or anything, but I've always felt the blackberry needs a light up charging port!!! Constantly, I find myself struggle at night to plug the charger in with the lights off, and the backlight really don't help! Of course I have a charging dock now.

A restart button would be nice too. A reset option to go along with the power off option, and the reset should be a hard reset too. I use crlt+alt+del, but my phone does funky stuff after it.

Also, I really wish there was a built in stopwatch, just like the on that comes on the iphone, that would be very useful for me!

-automatic wallpaper change
-flashlight
-screen saver
-light up charging port?
-reset button/option
-built in stopwatch

I want an application that will automatically delete all iphone information from my sight.

lol, I am no means an Apple fanboy if thats what your getting at. I don't own any apple products, (I also don't even really listen to music), and I would most likely never get an iPhone.

Only reason I brought it up, was doing a big race recently and one of our team members had an iphone and we were keep track of lap times with that. It actually worked better than the stop watch we had cause your able to click off every lap.

Sorry if the apple comment offended you, i myself have been fed up with hearing about apple all the time. Haha. Just couldn't find a way to explain it. Actually, after that, you prob still have no clue what i'm talking about. Haha.

ball it was a general statement as an app I would like to see. Not directed at anyone but thanks for trying to be conciderate. I didnt even read your post.

definitely a Personal Information Mangement that can sync with a desktop more fluidly. A lot of the PIM tasking programs offer great organization but often do not sync well with say outlook.

I really really want/could use for business an app that allowed the scroll wheel on the Blackberry to act as a mouse on a designated computer through either wifi or bluetooth, but more importantly that it could act as a keyboard.

I love the size and shape of the keyboard and cursor on the phone and basically need a remote control for an advanced HTPC type system. If I could get an app for the blackberry, I wouldn't need to create remote controls for the system until much further in the future.

If this exists. contact me. dustin [at] redthornemedia [dot] com

Thanks.

Ditto. Native PDF docs I can store, open and send on my SD card.

A Weather App that adds a menu item to the drop down menu in the calendar allowing you to select the address in the Location field and "Get Weather" and/or "Get Forecast". Might also be a good idea to add to the Address Book menu.

For frequent travelers, it would be great to look at the appointments you have over the next week or two and just click on the appointment and get the weather/forecast.

This would be similar to how TeleNav lets you "Map", "Drive To" or "Find Business By" in the calendar and address book.

I need Electro-Shock convenience buttons to keep my kids hands off.
Oh yeah and tabbed browsing.

That's one of my favorite features...I can catch it and answer before it rings. I wish all phones did this.

I want ASSAULT BLUETOOTH where I can activate bluetooth on someone else's phone to tell them to hang up while in traffic.

COOKBOOK/RECIPE APP

i want to be able to download recipes & create my own when my creativity sparks

You can do this with MessageAlerts - I use it and LOVE it. Someone else posted earlier saying they want a SMS spam filter - MessageAlerts has that too. "+mablackberry+"

I would love to be able to stream internet radio on my company owned 8830 from sprint....xplayer tried to work, but cuts off :(

iI'm on BES too and we have ports blocked, so being able to bypass my companies network to make streaming work would be GREAT

thanks

Things that are missing:

Quiet Camera
Pdf reader
Clock that adjustes to local time-zone
Phone conversation recorder

Exists.

Exists - at least for PDF files that are mailed. New OS versions have an integrated PDF reader.

Well, might be interesting.

Not possible as it would be a big security hole (privacy issues). Imagine there is an app installed on a manager's BlackBerry (w/o him knowing it) that records all phone conversations...
So RIM restricted the possibility of doing this - at least for now

This is EXACTLY what I want. For instance, I always set to vibrate on Sundays between 10am - 12pm and then set it back to normal. Same thing for Sat mornings and Thursday/Mon nights.

Anything like this exists?

1. The ability would to save attachments off of a email. This would be verrry nice !!
2. The ability to remote a BES bb would be great as well

Also some type of wall paper changing software

A profile switching application that would also automatically turn off and on wifi and bluetooth based on what you set for that profile. Would help save on battery since I don't have wifi at work and I'm too lazy i guess to switch it off and on.

an irc app
