Features You'd Like To see on a 9000

two words VIDEO CONFRENCING! sp?

OS stability.

tabbed browsing.

Memory leaks plugged.

I have some spackle you can use JS

Stable OS and memory leaks fixed.

Coffee maker.

just me?

memory leaks fixed would be great

LOL! Yeah, I would buy one in heartbeat if it made coffee. (y)

little late for this thread since the device features have been "released" on bgr (just rumors of course) :razz: The memory leak is the big thing, video conferencing can be done on other devices on AT&T 3g, but it isnt being used by anyone lol

i'd like to see it in my hands

more ram, way more, like 8-16 gigs :)

then memory leaks wont be that big of deal!

Yeah enough storage so I won't need to also carry an iPod would be nice. Also 3G and tabbed browsing.

release date would be nice

I won't switch to a BB9000 until it fully supports Sirius Satellite radio. I need to be able to listen to Sirius on my BB.

I'd also like a better browser. So far there are none that work well, even Opera Mini 4.

enough internal or external storage? the 4.3 OS that is out can support 12gb microSD cards (well, technically 16s work, but those arent out yet). somewhere in the white papers on blackberry.com it says the limitation of the newer devices is 256gb. why on earth would you need anywhere close to that lol.

I think video conferencing will take off only if local or MicroSD file sharing is seemless and intuitive; but again not worth it. Video Messaging by the providers should've been implemented along with video calling for it to be able to sell. Its for the kiddies though.

Memory Leaks is very important (i'm hoping this is directly related to exception errors).

More device RAM is needed. I'd like a more modern & power efficient cpu than the XScale brand to be honest, however RAM is beginning to show its weakness in the Pearl/Curve/88xx series. That hourglass between switching so many running apps is too prevailent. I'd expect 128MB standard on ALL devices; and no this is NOT expensive to the industry.

Jagga, Right, you hit it right on the nail......64MB internal RAM is a really "wimp", read my BB Pearl constant crash story I posted after almost 2 years of usage of the 8100...

Either have more internal RAM or offer the capability of running applications directly from the SD card itself

Then we will see an explosive market of 3rd party software developed for BB, maybe one day it would be able to brew beers :-)

MIDP 3.0 (JSR 271) info:

Overview Of JSR 271 : Mobile Information Device Profile 3

This JSR will specify the 3rd generation Mobile Information Device Profile, expanding upon the functionality in all areas as well as improving interoperability across devices, and building upon the success of MIDP2 by enhancing the Profile with the following additions/changes :

* Enable and specify proper behavior for MIDlets on each of CLDC, CDC, and OSGi, including :
o Enable multiple concurrent MIDlets
o Specify proper firewalling, runtime behaviors, and lifecycle management issues for MIDlets
o Enable background MIDlets (faceless MIDlets with no UI)
o Enable auto-launched MIDlets (started at device boot time)
o Enable inter-MIDlet communications
* Enable shared libraries for MIDlets
* Tighten spec in all areas to improve cross-device interoperability
* Increase functionality in all areas, including :
o Improve UI expressability and extensibility
o Better support for devices with larger displays
o Enable MIDlets to draw to secondary display(s)
o Enable richer and higher performance games
o Secure RMS stores
o Removable/remote RMS stores
o IPv6
o Multiple network interfaces per device
* Specify standard ways for doing MIDlet provisioning through other means (e.g. OMA (SyncML) DM/DS, Bluetooth, removable media, MMS, JSR 232, etc.)
* Extensive device capabilities query
* Localization & Internationalization (if appropriate, integrating/augmenting JSR 238 as needed)

A key design goal of MIDP3 will be backward compatibility with MIDP2 content.

Now, imagine all those apps running off the MicroSD card, along with the ability to share information between one another (RIM I think may have an upper had here in 2 ways). RIM, I think, already uses 1 JVM on the Firmwares, and can further their presence in the smartphone space because they'll be able to (like others) run applications upon boot.

My wishlist is simple: flash player (ok, maybe not so simple) and a tiny hole for a lanyard (very simple). ;-)
