What is RIM still hiding in BlackBerry 10?

As weird as it sounds, I'd love to see native panorama photo taking on it. (chances are it will have it) but It's something which would be cool to use in situations.

Other than that I'm already sold either way. Never really been a stickler for apps or anything. As long as the pone helps me complete my daily tasks then I'll love it

Video chat will be great - but it will only appear to the rest of the smartphone world as a "Me Too" reaction on RIM's part, with FaceTime on iOS & Skype on other platforms having been available for quite some time. They should not expect to wow the world with it though. I'm hoping there is another Ace up their sleeve for a real Wow reaction.

I would love to see an PC App Store experience similar to iTunes. Granted I hate iTunes interaction with actual devices but the purchasing ease and layout are beautiful. I know we have Blackberry World but I would love to see it expanded into something even greater. FYI I'm typing this from an iPhone 5 that has been replace 3 times in the last 12 days. Rim I need you! (I5: Worst phone I've ever owned)

I'd like my new BB10 phone to keep my house clean.

Really? I thought this was obvious....if they don't offer BBM video chat, they will get destroyed by the media!

I'm excited to see the Cinnamon Toast in action! :)

I bet its a Cloud like integration. Would be nice to have contact and calendar syncing.

Things that have not been announced that I would like to see :
(Or things that HAVE been announced, but I just don't know about)

-Profiles
-Customizable "base" color (overall color scheme for the OS)
-Accessibility options
-Suite of Native apps such as: Voice notes, memo, password keeper...
-redesign of the contacts "app"
-BlackBerry Maps
-Notification customization
-Clarification on OS7 bridge app to BB10 (will I be able to use my OS5/6/7 device and bridge to my BB10 device? or maybe my BB10 playbook?
-shortcut functions

Features that would be too good to be true:

-HTML5 based "bridge" between my BB10 device and my work computer giving me limited access to my device via web/desktop which could include : file sharing (cloud based), BBM, limited or controlled access to the Hub
-like Double_J75 mentioned, house cleaning capabilities

a battery that lasts a whole day i,m happy with everything else

well i am expecting a cross plateform BBM, with limited functionalities on other OS, yes bbm voice and video will be there.
i know one of the co CEO outsted coz he was talking bbm to be cross plateform, but yes.... it will be coming and blackberry will use its NOC for other mobile devices also.

1) BBM voice and Video(pb and bb)
2) BBM will be cross plateform with limited functionalities.
3) NOC support for other mobile devices for mails.
4) Game Center and Music Hub
5) NOC will support VOIP service to various callers from various plateform with roaming all over globe.

thanx keving... i hope i can get +1 for that....:):)

Blackberry addict
bb bold 9900 + 32 gb playbook.
Previous devices: Iphone 5-bold 9000- bold 9700.

I hope they are hiding those two apps

one feature I'd like to see in BBM is the ability to disable broadcasts.

When someone sends a broadcast they should receive an automated generic message from each person that has disabled it like "user25 has disabled broadcast messages" That way they would know who did not get their message (and also have to contend with a host of generic messages which would hopefully deter future unnecessary broadcasts).

this would not be a wow factor but it would be a great gift to us faithfuls

I would like to see a "Car Mode" option. For example if you dock you BB10 phone in your car, the phone will change the interface to the QNX Car 2 interface, but in a better seemless experience.
I hope that will come too =D

I would like my BB10 device to have aggressive seek and destroy mode that activates automatically when it is placed next to an android or ios device

#BB10Believe

I am hoping they have some surprise up their sleeves regarding NFC on BB10. We haven't heard much about some RIM-made apps that will include NFC capabilities.

I would like to see mobile payments done well. I know that they are launching peer-to-peer payments via BBM, but I think that RIM has a lot more potential regarding NFC.

I hope the UX will have some features not yet demoed.

Well, my needs are simple .... I want it all! Actually, if I can just sync Outlook without giving my confidential data to the likes of Google, I will be a happy camper.

As for the house cleaning ... I am developing an app for that. A flushable house. Every night you simply tell everyone if they want to own anything to hold on to it for a minute because you are about to flush. It will work with Car 2 as well. Soon you will see me doing those late night informercials ...

BB10 needs a competitive Maps and Turn by Turn navigation app - that it built in. All other phones have this Android, Windows, and Iphone. It is a must have.

Native Applications wish list:
1. Skype
2. Google+
3. Amazon (Marketplace, Cloud player, Reader)
4. ESPN (Watch, FFL)
5. NFL Mobile
6. Uverse, TW, Comcast (DVR, Remote Controls, VOD)
7. Hulu, Netflix (any mainstream streaming or downloadable video service)
8. Pinnacle Video Editor
9. QuickTime, MPEG, Windows Media Player with Digital Copy Capability
10. Instagram

1) A next level type of Siri integration.
2) BBM Video Chat
3) Blackberry Balance for consumers where we can have personal side and one side for password sensitive sites like banks
4) InterActive Frames like what has been shown on Jolla Sailfish
5) Themes
6) Faster boots
7) Concepts phones to house the BB10. Here's looking at you Blackberry Blade

I think a light BBM cross platform with chat , voice and video is my guess.
Other platforms will probably have to download the lite BBM APP for a modest fee with update privileges. That should not be an issue, because deep inside people I talk too love and miss BBM. This would put to rest the Whats Ap APP vs BBM discussion.

The sync of BB10 with a cloud service will be the killer news....thats 100% !!

P.S - BYTD - Bring Your Two Devices !!

I will buy both BB10 Touch for the screen real estate fancy to keep me connected plus the BB10 Qwerky on my side for 24 hours Hyper-connection !!

An awesome PC bridge soft application that would allow for BBM from your PC.

Virtual track pad. Especially for copy/paste/editing functions.

I'd love to see calendar sharing between BB phones. And if RIM can share/sync this info with non-BB phones or computers, that would be even better. With the wall between personal and work information, it should be do-able from a security point of view. As it is right now, I need to sync my BB with Google calendar using Google sync, and then my wife has to do the same from her iPhone, just so we can see each others' free/busy time. Pain in the butt.

Please, either ditch the android player or polish/integrate it in a way that it flows with the rest of BB10. if android is used, embrace other Google services as well. Rather than fighting them like an enemy, take it in. Google search, Google+, G-mail, Google doc, Google Maps and so many more are VERY good services. take them in if possible!!!

How come Google+ is not one of the default integrated social networks like facebook, twitter, linkedin?

Keep it simple but surprise us with out of the box features. Battery life needs to be what it once was. A media and speaker system that blows the galaxy sIII out of the water. Keep all native apps except the crappy 3rd party apps that I don't use, if I want it on my phone I will download it. Short-cuts and convenience keys would be nice to have some familiarity. Two led lights, one for phone calls and one for messages or better yet make them highly customizable. Take the BB features and make them 10x better sense other phone don't have them. Most phone look the same keep BB unique so that the suing trend is not apart of BB.

Where's the freaking marketing at....is BB10 so good that RIM doesn't think that it need marketing. People flock to what everyone is buying, either make BB10 phone the greatest smartphone ever or make a strategy to bring customers. Tricks up their sleeves, they better have more than a few to keep them in the game or keep down sizing the company and only make elite phone for the BB faithful and the elite folks that take communication serious. I honesty don't know what I would do if I did not have the option of purchasing a BB.

CrackBerry Is My Choice Of Drug

.. some of the very cool TAT Interface goodies
.. NFR integration for "swipe and pay" opportunities
.. "Slider" form factor - a-la 9810 Series

How about the ability/app to start my car and set the heater/ac temp etc. right from my BB 10 phone anywhere I happen to be with feedback letting me know that its has started. Since most cars now have QNX as the bases to the car computer systems this should be a natural advantage for BB.

How about easier/better integration of the built in apps on a local BB device and with other (preferably but not limited to BB) devices. For example; if I want to arrange a meet up with some family or friends, I have to send out a message or meeting invite, wait for responses, did they read the message, do they have a better time to meet or place... Using BBM, I can see if they read the message, use the BB calendar, BB contacts, Twitter account, Facebook etc. and use a seamless method to contact, collaborate, and coordinate the get-together. It’s all about the ease of interaction to get things done (BlackBerry has been strong here in the past and needs to take it to the next level). How to do the things we do but do them better and faster!

Looking forward to Story Maker.

Guys, no disrespekt, but all I've seen from BB10 is an exact copy of Meego. The diference is, with Meego you have more innovation, like INTERACTIVE LIVE FRAMES, mentioned in the article.

Check this out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c_BqnR_vAM

Besides at first BB10 looked a lot like WebOS. Now after WebOS is known buy more persons, RIM changed the UI that it looks more like the unknown Meego.

The only thing I like in BB10 and that i find innovative is the intelligent keyboard. The rest is just copied from the work of others.

And I think the fact that the costumers are forced to use an extra blackberry option at their carrier is nothing, that will help RIM. Here in Germany only few are offering it and only with expensive contracts.

PS: Sorry for double posting this. I was in the wrong topic first.

I would like to see a seamless cloud based email, calendar, contacts system that would solve all these syncing issues we presently have.

Razzzle dazzle is not good without function. Look at Google and IOS users.

i think bb balance for consumers would be a definite win!! for example for parents with kids they can simply activate another profile if the case is that there kids take there phones they wont have access to all of moms nice photo's **wink wink. or for the cheating boyfriend on the go girlfriend mode....llolol
bbjamaica

I like what someone said about bbm integration into calendar etc.
BBM voice and video is nice, but we don't have wifi everywhere so, not a must for me
Definitely led customization a must
Enhanced social feeds integration into hub, including bb news app
Cloud backups like bbm7, easier to change bbs
Better cloud office doc usage
Good video, picture and music media hub
Swappable casing covers in different colours
More HTML5 website apps than native
And lastly Playbooks glowing notification

Any news about jaycut editor? Hoping to see this app to bb10.and playbook

People! This post is about 'guessing' what features RIM is saving for launch. But everyone, instead, is writing a wish-list! You've to guess what is RIM going to unveil on launch day.

My guesses are:
1. Some major apps (NetFlix, Kindle, AngryBirds etc. Skype with voice is unlikely though)
2. Both N and L series and their immediate availability in couple of weeks from launch
3. BBM video chat is a more or less a given
4. Massive battery life (16+ hours)
5. Siri like voice-assistant
6. Possibly a surprise third form factor (slider?)

I can tell you with certainty that video chat is a component within 'BBM10'

If BBM video is all that is going to be available, then NO, everyone on other platforms will not switch back to BlackBerry. Yes BBM is popular in a lot of countries, but not in the huge North American market where RIM has lost so much ground. Start thinking outside the box.

I'm looking forward to seeing the picture editor slathered in TAT. The video editing is exciting too!

1. A SEARCH OPTION!? I use the 'universal search' all the time on my blackberry 9780, no way im gonna find my apps within all my homescreens.

2. EXPANDED BRIDGE! Bridging over computer, so you can acces your desktop and turn on the music when your too lazy to lift from the couch.

3. MUSIC PLAYER! really important, i listen to my music on my ipod now because my crackberry doesn't read my memory card anymore. either way, back when my music DID work, i used it 24/7. yeah i got no sleep when my musicplayer works. :-)

4. BUGS. i hope the one thing they won't reveal or better said, won't ever be available are bugs.

The FASTEST browser experience on any platform, desktop or mobile. Html 5 is nice but I don't want to wait 2 seconds longer than phone X.

It might be BBM turning into a VoIP app.

BBM + BBM Voice = BBM7 + BBM Video = BBM 10 + Landline/Mobile Dialing over WiFi = BBM 10 Communicator (Charge a monthly fee for landline/mobile dialing, revenue generator, increase stock price). Carriers would hate this, but....

Now that's the WOW factor. This would eliminate the need for SKYPE or VONAGE.

One App, multiple functions, ease my daily task and possibly save me money.

Oh and  10. For Tablet OS OTA ready and shown running on another OEM. Liscensed to Samsung :D. Better yet a HTC BlackBerry10 Tablet.

As I said would love to see some RIM Sweden inspired stuff. The things TaT comes up with are visually stunning to say the least. Its time to see the Teasers of Torture implemented into the OS in a grand way!

I would like to see the N and L series come out the same day so I can make my choice right away

I hope they can do something about the dreaded boot time and hourglass. Honestly, for something meant for mobile, such a long boot time is barely acceptable.
And I hope they've done something about the dreaded hourglass too.

I want to have native PGP and S/MIME support out of the box with no chains to BES or anything else. But I might be dreaming...

i think it will be BBM Money, whereby you can send your BBM contact money.

Question:

I understand BB10 will be available for Playbooks as well, but we were informed that PIM/BBM would not be available over Wi-Fi on BB10. What does this mean for the current Wi-Fi playbook?

Forget about Voice Assistant (Siri), that was so 2010. And, vocalizing commands is a major security and privacy faux pas.

I want BB10 to take it to the next level. Don't talk. THINK! Introduce Miri (MInd Recognition Interface)... BB10 needs to be able to read your mind and if you can conceive it, BB10 will achieve it.

How's that for thinking outside the box?

Sirius please !!!

Well, for me, I hope they do something bold. One thing in particular actually. While the playbook browser is ok. Its far from great and arguably its the one thing they have to get right. In fact, its my biggest gripe with blackberry all together. I think RIM should acquire Opera. This will give BB a great web browser and would show the world how serious they are about having a world class OS. Its also a great revenue stream for RIM too as it in itself is a profitable business and could bring in more revenue from analytics as well. This would also give RIM a different tool to analyze their competition too as it is already muti-platform.

I want this most of all. C'mon RIM. Be Bold.

If I remember correctly, the video chat will be more than two way. I forget the number of concurrent conversations but you can have a conference video chat. So the girls can get together and chat.

i'd like to be able to use my BB10 phone as a contraceptive. hear me out... my pesky little swimmers are always causing me trouble. it would be nice if there was a space invader style GUI so i can blast my sperm away in a retro gaming format, complete with an arcade style point system and worldwide leaderboards. Make it PvP so my girlfriend/mistress can compete against me for the right to get pregnant.

hah! how's that for a contribution to this ridiculous thread.

Bold 9900 - Playbook 32GB - Lumia 800

are we going to have video chat funcation?? like the playbook?

What's missing?

* Maps with full navigation and street view?
* Voice commands, like Siri?
* BBM Video
* Improved DocsToGo for more serious document support, including password protection compatible with MS Office.
* Skype & Netflix
* Multi-calendar Google sync (CAN I SAY THAT L O U D L Y ?)

I need to be able to place it on a table next to the iPhone5 & SIII and leapfrog them

It would be nice to have the ability to sync e-mail, calendar, tasks, and so on, cross platform, and not only via a MS or Apple based OS, and with different types of hardware, like laptops, desktops, PBs, BBs.

We do not want to be restricted to Outlook. I definitely do NOT want my info based in a cloud environment, because that is a "Big Brother"-scenario.

Since recieveing & sending SMS Text messaging on our Playbook with the support of Bridge. It would also be nice to be able to recieve and make a PHONE CALLS using Playbook. I hope this feature would be included on Blackberry 10.

Can someone tell me why can they release both phones at the same time? Then N and L series

*Cisco VPN client app or equivalent
*a flexible SSH client
*a rich remote desktop client
*a trackpad
*keyboard shortcuts
*Google Maps
*NetFlix
*a 7 band graphic equalizer
*fix the issue where contacts get duplicated so I no longer have to use convoluted tricks, tips and blog posts to fix it repeatedly.

155 comments and only 8 references to Skype and or Netflix...not bad. :)

I see lots of suggestions about already existing apps and things that have been done already on other devices. That is good and if someone has already done that app then designing/porting it for BB10 would be great. But what will set the BB10 devices and OS apart from all the rest of the "crowd" will be the things they do that no one else has done! The OS should make the device work for you, quickly and effortlessly, instead of taking 5 or 6 steps to complete something. That is what I am looking for and between the developers of BB10 (including QNX, TAT, RIM, ++++) I think these guys should be able to get it right!

BlackBerry by choice!

Hi everyone, I hope this won't sound to cheesy, but I am very excited about the new BB10 . I am currently in the UK and have a large online retail shop. I have some extra funds I would like to invest in an App for BB10 and wondering where is the best place to support developers who need some start-up funding kinda like kick starter for Mobile apps for BB10 ? Any help appreciated.

Be Bold

Any help appreciated

New and improved icons... the current ones they are showing (even the latest "new" ones) are crap and look like they are from Windows 3.1..

Every function/shortcut/native BB application available on BB7 Releasing without BB Travel, etc would be VERY dumb.

Killer Battery life and a real FM radio!

I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but BBMcentric features don't really mean much to me since really, none of my friends own a blackberry anymore. I mean, I have no more BBM friends, so what does it matter?

Aside from that I would love to see a simple to use podcast app. The current app is very buggy, will often lose a podcast I have subscribed to, and trying to find a particular podcast is a VERY hit or miss proposition.

That's my 2 cents

Sorry to bust this in here. But does anyone know: Will the playbook get BB10???? Is it confirmed. I've seen several articles stating it does but no real quotes from Heinz or any of the other doods. So.... Anyone?

how about a fingerprint scanner that can unlock you phone?? a panorama picture setting (much like the iphone),

360 degree picture capture

I love to see more partnerships from RIM allowing better access to major players that provide digital content. I know they've shown a few off but never the software to access it and how we will have it all tied to our blackberry accounts. I just don't see RIM coming across as a major player in media-centric content.

I loved to see RIM just pull out the guns and say we've got a partnership with sony or nintendo for exclusive gaming, grab support from steam and allow indie developers greater access.

I've never really liked the locked down nature of the app store though Blackberry world in to a point be the same, I'd love to see portals giving access and tieing our accounts to external services like Steam etc.

1- an accurate and fast full function voice assistant.
2- a good fisical camera that includes panoramics, with a native photoshop alike app.
3- video chat, not only for BBM but for other non BB users too.
4- Blackberry maps or a really good google maps interaction.
5- Augmented reality functions like, measures, trasnlations, etc.
6- lots of accelerometer funcions

There is a lot more to come :

1 - Solar charging - no need to ever plug your BB in again. Battery charges by the light

2 - Fingerprint scanning - Unlock your phone with your finger print

3 - Folders for your pictures

4 - Free cloud storage

5 - Unbreakable glass

6 - Scratch resistant

7 - Use it as a remote

8 - 3D Hologramming

9 - Full fledge GPS

And so much more

from me --->email : tonkar1990@hotmail.com and facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TAKARTK

* I'D LIKE TO SEE A GREAT NAVIGATION APP (FREE). I USE THE VZ NAVIGATOR ON MY 9850 FROM VERIZON (WHICH IS GREAT) BUT IT RUNS ME ABOUT $10 A MONTH.
* DIFFERENT COLORS WOULD BE A CHANGE, ALTHOUGH I WOULD GET A BLACK OR WHITE PHONE, MAYBE OTHER COLORS LIKE RASBERRY OR BLUEBERRY (JUST AN IDEA)
* I THINK WE DEFINETLY NEED INSTAGRAM FROM THE START

How about:
- custom keyboard for bridge remote control that integrates virtual trackpad and full mouse click capability
- citrix app that displays apps/desktop via hdmi out while phone display is in custom keyboard mode described above
- virtual desktop nicely secured in the BB NOC accessible by citrix app mentioned above, for reasonable subscription price. Partner with MS. Who needs a pc?
- killer music app that levers bbm to suggest multiple playlists based on your music and lists created by others

If I was a developer, I'd be hard pressed to get any sleep before January 30.

Go RIM.

Just hurry up and take my money!

RIM needs too focus on the basics and start offering a competitive browser. HTML5 scores are great for devs, but consumers need more features than what's been made available so far. People who do don't want their experience too be slowed down by ads per example.

Implementing BBM video is a waste of time. Most BlackBerry users left who will be able to afford the new devices will have most of their contacts on other networks. Release BBM video along with the curves.

BB9900/PlayBook/AlphaDev/UK/CH

I want frontrunner - a kickass multimedia cascading app and all the previous awesome cascade demos, so that it would not be annotated as a vaporware.

Re: the "Blackberry Blade" that lboogie_1971_ mentioned.... thanks for reminding me of that!

+1,000,000

My fantasy is that RIM licenses that design or just buys that Canadian design company Pixelcarve outright, and produces that phone exactly as pictured. (Perhaps without some of the old-school buttons - though I love me my BB buttons.)

What an amazing design that thing is. Totally leapfrogs Apple's now-tired iPhone design. Classic BB keyboard too... whew!

They might have to figure out how to build curved circuit-boards though..

Well since this turned into a wish list thread, I'll add my wishes.

*A native printing app that allows for wifi or hardlined connections.
*BBMoney that allows direct linking to multiple bank accounts and PayPal.
*Pictures folders.
*A trackpad!! Be it on an N - series or on a slider form factor.
*MLB at bat app. Full version with full video viewing options.

How about wireless HDMI to a dongle attached to the TV or eventually integrated into big brand name TVs? Samsung excluded :)
So you connect your BB10 device to the TV by an NFC tap and then start showing your screen contents on the TV or monitor. Or you can connect VIA Bluetooth pairing.
Currently we have to have our Playbook attached to the TV via a HDMI cable.

Along with all the new features the most important feature to me will be a satble working device with no major issues at launch. BB10 can't be like the Storm launch it needs to be a fully functional device that wows the consumer for it to be a success.

I'm already very excited with QNX.. But I would also like to be able to take screenshots of my screen so I can send it further to my contacts through every single socializing app.. Maybe BB10 already has it, maybe I overlooked..

MUCH better (and Native) Doc's to Go.

I just really want one but unfortunately I don't think ill be affording 1 for a while. = (

The launch event is 4.5 hours. I'm pretty sure there'll be tons and tons to show (they can't keep showing just the Hub and the keyboard...people have seen enough of them by end of January)...
