Some ideas (for 4.2)?

1. When the phone rings, the backlight comes on. When the 8700 is on my desk it would be good if that did it too for incoming emails (if only for the duration of the backlight timer)...

2. Also, how about: Timed profiles (like Nokia). IE when setting a profile, you can at the same time set an expiry time. Good for meetings...

3. Profile exceptions: Associate them with catagories contacts have been assigned to, rather than individual contacts.

It won't do any of this today, will it?

You can also, when in a text block or when editing a message, note or memo, just type "myver". That'll give model/version.

Hope this helps.
