OS 5.0 Incremental Feature Updates Detailed!!!
Kevin managed to score some great documentation of the upcoming features in OS 5.0. This is the best list I have seen to date. They are all in images so I will try to summarize the main feature updates below. The main feature that really pisses me off is that there will now be one branded carrier browser which will have a branded bookmark placed at the top of your bookmarks permanently. Thanks RIM!
- Looks like OS 4.6+ devices are definitely going to get the upgrade
- Seems to be a bit of confusion as to OS 4.5 devices getting 5.0
- Press the BlackBerry button twice for default action
- BIS is going to get a thick client for easy setup of your email accounts
- Photo resizing when sending via email
- Email upload progress indicator for large emails
- Event sounds like when you plug or unplug your BlackBerry
- Improved profiles and now you will be able to rename or delete all but the vibrate profile
- BlackBerry maps enhancements like photo geotagging and navigation
- Browser support for Gears and with a single carrier branded browser
- MicroSD cards can be Smart Cards
- Sticky dates in message list – Header with the date will stay at the top of message list
- Upgraded documents to go
- Device boot up screen with BlackBerry logo
