I have added this thread as a sticky thread. PLEASE do not use this thread to "complain" about what is not working as you would like on the Q. Just list the items you would like to see in an update. If this thread is abused, I will lock it or remove it.

Thanks.
Rob.

Here is my initial list of wants:
1. The ability to add folders in outlook and move emails to those folders (I would also like to be able to place the folders on the mini-SD card)
2. A better faster IE browser, the current one is slower thant the BB 8700 running on EDGE
3. Improved scroll wheel support that works more like a BlackBerry's and does not wrap or initiate unexpected actions.
4. Menu simplification. It takes too many steps to do simple frequent functions and this could be significantly improved
5. Easy way to change fonts
6. Add intelligence to keyboard entry ala BlackBerry (space in a url enters a period, double space in text mode adds a period and caps the first letter, knows when to put an apostrophe into a contraction, capitalizes I, add upper case to hold down of letter as the default it only shows special markings for foreign letters now)
7. Make the vibrate stornger if posible
8. Add BB Connect software so I can get my BB email
9. Add JAVA support as a standard built in capability
10. Give all applications an x for close and a _ for minimize and let me pic whether to close or minimize the application

The best and most significant thing about this phone is that with the right improved firmware it can become a truly fantastic phone as the hardware is very good.

BarJohn nailed almost everything. He just forgot 1 more thing. It needs a better task manager, so we can switch between applications easier. I would love it if I could hold down the spacebar and that would bring up the task manager and I could kill apps and switch to other apps easily.

MSFP would be nice I am really hoping it won't take 6 months for them to release that update.

My list:

1.) Fix the unlock feature so it doesn't require so many extra steps. It should not require you to have to hit Alt, Alt to enter a number to unlock. It should realize when you have entered your unlock code and just process it rather than making you press unlock again. Right now, every time I touch my Q, I have to enter 8 keystrokes to unlock it. Our Exchange server settings force devices to be locked after 5 minutes.

2.) When the phone is locked and you receive an incoming phone call, keep the display ON until it goes to voice mail or until you do some action. Right now by the time I get the phone out of my pocket the screen is black and I can't see who's calling.

3.) Fix the menus so they are smart enough to turn off Alt mode when the menu is open so menu shortcuts work without having to press Alt (or in the case of the Solitare app, they won't work at all because that app forces it to ALT mode and you can't change it).

4.) Fix the built-in applications that come with the device so that the know when you are in a numeric field and don't force me to press Alt to enter a number in a numeric only field.

5.) Make the tiny thumbnail caller ID pictures big enough so you can actually see who it is.

Sounds to be sounded in both bt headset and from the speaker so when you are not wearing headset you still hear them

Make the back button take you all the way back to the messaging menu instead of the home screen when viewing messages.

Don't know if this is posible .. but I'd like to be able to add things to the home screen easily ... like on a ppc ... check the things you want and move them up and down ... I'm still at a loss on how to modify the home screens ... I'd love to use the verizon full ... but take out the news and download plugins ..

I love the feature on the treo 700 that allows you to add a phone number to your contacts if it's new (whether you called it or they called you).

Pocket Office would be nice and make it the PPC version of WM5 instead of smartphone.

Look on your device under \Application Data\Home\

You'll need to edit the xml files in that folder. It's easiest to just open up notepad and then copy all the text from the verizon wireless full file into your file. This will avoid file access errors. Once in the xml, just search for

VZW_SHORTCUT_PLUGIN_2003

You can delete that entire section from Plugin to the End plugin tag. I just edited them for my own shortcuts and then added that same plugin again for 2 more shortcuts.

PM me if you need more help.

Fix whatever causes key inputs to be missed while typing quickly. PLEASE!

Two things that I am missing from my Treo 700w:

1) A spell checker in email (and add an option to have it automatically check spelling before sending)

2) When a call comes in, have the "Ignore with Text Message" option

1. Add notes synchronization with Outlook without having to buy an add-on.

2. Where the heck did the 'Other' phone number item in Contacts disappear to?

3. How about being able to view the start menu alphabetically AND/OR by smaller icons/list view?

Make the red button work like the treos, where you press it and the screen comes on and use the center button to unlock the keys and then if you press the red button again it turns off the screen etc..

Yes... single push of red button to turn screen off.

Ability to get email on a schedule. Save attachments to storage card.

Sync ALL info from Outlook! ("other", formats like category color, notes!)

Fewer buttons to push to lock and unlock screen.

Fewer buttons to push to turn bluetooth on and off.

(Otherwise.... loving this device!)

I have a new one...making it 4 for me.

4. Offer an option such that emails that are sent from the Q are uploaded/sent instantly as opposed to waiting for the next scheduled send/receive session.
