The ability to RED highlight incomming email messages based on a tag placed on the names in the address book. Would allow quick view of important messages, at least ones important to you.

Increase the number of rings in profile now max at 3 .
Nine ( 9 ) would be better.

Several different messaging highlighting options would be nice -- something like what you could do with Eudora's labels with editable names -- and corresponding alert options (i.e. adding Level 2, Level 3... etc).

I guess I'm just seconding Office file creation/editing, spell check on the device itself, historical mail push/sync and HTML mail rendering.

As of OS 4.2, you can configure Filters for those certain email addresses and set them be marked as Level 1 messages. All of these will come in as RED in the Messages list.

Just to note, for all of you, as mentioned in my original post on this thread, I'm starting a new blog column over at BlackBerryCool.com. My first article (which is, oddly enough, my first commercial blog entry ever) should be published tomorrow. This particular thread will be the source for my second piece (which will hopefully end up being quite elaborate in content and suggestions by the middle of the week, which is when I plan to start writing the article).

Oh! Here are a couple:

1. Ability to create folders, regardless of theme, and organize icons into them.

2. Browser shortcuts as icons (without having to go through the whole browser push channel creation process). There should just be an option to place a bookmark as an icon and to launch it as an app as far as the convenience keys are concerned.

Here are a few:
  • Not sure if its carrier specific, but voice activated dialing would be great.
  • First to create a cheat screen that displays the letters associated with a number (i.e. 3 = DEF, 4 = GHI etc) and then to have the ability to configure it when it should display.
  • Be able to configure which browser to open a link in depending on which email address it was sent to (i.e. BES = Blackberry Browser, BIS = Internet Browser)

If I think of more, I'll post em.

Not sure if this fits the criteria, but the ability to "Flag for Follow Up" when using MS Exchange.

jibi,

Do you have a contact at RIM to forward these to? Or is this just us talking to ourselves. Hoping the former is true

That's one I forgot about. It would be nice to be able to choose which flags but just being able to flag and unflag or mark as completed are must-haves.

I'll stir up something (don't ask). With that said, you can always send emails to [email address] with any ideas one may have. FWIW, they do monitor this mailbox. Some of the ones listed above are good ideas, while a lot of the others have already been implemented in some capacity.

It is device-specific and has been included in the Pearl (and likely all newer devices).

Why not just stick with holding in ALT and typing the letter? The device will associate the letter with the number for you. So if you want to call RIM support, you'd type in 877BLKBERR and it'll dial 8772552377.

Ahh, understood. But some would argue whether or not you should use your phone while driving. Of course, I'm of the pedigree that likes to pick up something from the rear of my car, driving with one foot, not looking at the road, and typing an email/text message, so...

...and I've only had 11 wrecks.

I agree with a lot of the stuff but I really agree with needing streaming media, like streaming video, audio from internet and it'd be nice for the word editing programs along with wifi hehe.

I'd like to see integrated office applications, more onboard memory, the ability to use desktop manager on a Mac and an IM Client for MSN Messenger so you don't need a third party IM Client.

Something that was stirred up recently on the forum... the ability for the BB to automatically adjust to time zones when traveling would be nice.

better rendering of html emails - give us the option to remove the links and just see text. many emails become unreadable.

I want a mobile admin tool I can install on my BB that allows basic BES administration without the need to buy some third party RDP software. I'm only looking for basic features (kill, EA password set, remove user, add user). It seems as a mobile platform RIM have forgotten that admins should have the ability to administer the server from the device!!!

Do you have MDS enabled? If so, why not script these functions around the BRK? Yes, it's a bit of a pain in the arse and should be out-of-the-box (albeit, they rarely have BRK releases that are in-line with BES releases), but it does serve it's purpose.

Thumbs up

I second or third the need for a robust built in file manager something like FExplorer for Symbian OS would be great to manage doc , music or vid files especially when the device has limited memory capacity due to lack of SD/mini-SD card slot. Thanks for doing this. can you put in a link for your blog pieces I'd like to read them.
