Call me a wet blanket, but I am not very excited. 240X180 video? Pffft! Thanks, but no, thanks.
What I really would like to see is improvements to the existing features. MORE keyboard shortcuts, for example. That's what made me buy a Blackberry in the first place.
I sorely miss a keyboard shortcut to adjust the camera's white balance, which is so important to photo quality and is buried inside [a menu + a scroll + back + Save.]
Taking pictures in several light conditions is quite a hassle because of that.
Pressing Shift+Space to scroll up is such a pain. Why not use the Symbol key? It's unused most of the time, in scrollable but not editable screens.
The Delete key also has no function in a few random spots where there are items that could be deleted.
Why can't I import multiple addresses from a vCard file?
Music file seeking. Sometimes I want to go back a couple of seconds in a podcast or audio book. Having to go back TWO MINUTES or nothing is not helpful.
More shortcuts in dialogues and applications. When I activate the browser's GoTo feature and highlight an address, letter E should Edit it right away. O in the Mail application should bring up Options. E when viewing a contact should let me Edit it. N or Space in the Notepad entry list should create a new entry already.
All the browser options should be in one single item, so when we press O, we see all of them already, no branching. Or even better, assign specific configuration combinations like Enable Javascript + Enable Tables + Emulation Mode to certain Web sites and have the browser remember those settings.
In all configuration changing screens, the green CALL key or the S key could be a shortcut for SAVE. Hitting BACK, then scrolling to OK (which never is the default) then pressing the trackball has long become a nuisance to me.

The start page accommodates easier navigation and displays the five most recently visited bookmarks. If the BlackBerry smartphone user clicks Bookmarks or History, they are redirected to a dedicated screen, respectively.

Nah! Being able to add URLs to the Quick Dial feature would be 10 times better. Hold G and launch Google, for example.
And FASTER REBOOT!!!
Summing up, I want things that improve my everyday usability of the phone, not something to brag about among friends like "sure, it does video". 240X180 video? Come on... At that resolution, photos are just as good (or better) unless you're recording something that you intend to use in court.
I liked to read about Word Completion and Advanced Editing and the phone call white/black lists. That's usability.
It's not such a tall order. The Blackberry does a lot of similar things already. It's just a matter of refining what we have instead of bringing more unrefined stuff along.
