One of the first things I missed when I started using BlackBerry 10 was the ability to “Mark Prior Read” and “Delete Prior.” For some reason no other mobile OS has managed to add such a simple function and I thought we had lost it in BlackBerry 10. Thankfully I asked Annu Dawar @BlackBerry and he corrected me. It turns out that we DO have the ability to “Mark Prior Read” and “Delete Prior.”
To get this option you simply press and hold your finger on the date title bar in the BlackBerry hub. After a second a context menu will pop up and you will have the ability to “Mark Prior Read” and “Delete Prior.” You also have the ability to jump back or forward by a day. These are the sort of small touches I love seeing in BlackBerry 10.

Thanks for making a post on this… it was one of the features I was wondering about with BB10

Great news.
I found that some things really have to be dug out.
By reading the UI guidelines, I found that Flow works differently whether you slide the whole “card” from anywhere or if you start swiping from the “back” button. I would never have found that by myself…

Yeah it works really nice in emails. You click to go in an email and then swipe back to get out of the email.

It still lacking a simple way to display only the unread messages in the hub (or did I miss something?)

Yeah, that’s why a Q10 will be a better fit for me. Shortcuts all the way.

But now swipe with your thumb on the back button. You’ll also get the list of hub connectors, not just your list of emails.

I think Blackberry’s key to success is to include the features that make it great.

Ronen will they include social feeds or will The Hub include rss feeds to take its place? What about BB Music?

I miss social feeds, especially the “favourites” column. It helps with the clutter.

I didnt see any social feeds but any developer can integrate with the hub. No word on BBM Music. I am thinking they are focusing first on BlackBerry 10 then ancillary services.
