1. Be able to lock the screen independently of the touchpad and hardware keyboard, so I donxxx8217;t keep deleting messages when I take the phone out of its holster.
2. Make unlocking the phone a two key press, or press and hold operation. I unlock it all the time by mistake.
3. Be able to disable the Flashing LED when the phone is turned off and charging.
4. Have the option to have the callerxxx8217;s name read out when the phone is ringing.
5. Have the option to have the phone read out my texts and emails.
6. Have more than one alarm. E.G One for the weekdays, one for the weekend and one for one off incidents.
7. Be able to change the icons of folders users create, to ones other than the strictly limited stock icons on the phone.
8. Default the date format to that of the country the phone is in. I am in the UK but the phone displays dates month then day.
Other than that, I am now a BlackBerry convert  |
I strongly agree with points 1 and 2. Those are issues for me as well on the 9800.
With respect to point 5, I handle that by using Vlingo (free version available from App World as is a paid version). The free one works fine for me, as I use it to read out emails and text messages.
For point 4, I use the BlueAnt S4 in-car bt set, which downloads and then announces the caller.
Oh yes, as someone else already pointed out, the ability to lock the screen rotation. That one is another irritant that this addition could resolve.
