Dear BlackBerry… Can We PLEASE Copy Contact Fields in BlackBerry 10?

Copy Contact2 Copy Contact 

Notice something missing in the action menu above? I love where BlackBerry is finally going with the newer BlackBerry 10.2 builds but there are still basic usability features missing that drive me nuts. One of these is the fact that if you want to copy a persons phone number or other details from the contacts app into a SMS or email you cannot just hold down and select copy. You can email the whole contact card but you cannot do something as simple as copy a phone number without editing the contact, selecting the text, and copying.

Anyone who has come from BlackBerry’s legacy OS would have immediately squashed these small usability issues. Maybe BlackBerry needs to get some hardcore users inhouse to start finding and fixing these usability issues ASAP. Wasn’t BlackBerry 10 supposed to be all about the “Flow”?

PS: I checked to see if the latest leaked OS had this option and sadly it does not. On the other hand BlackBerry is putting quite a bit of work into PIM in OS 10.2.1 so there is some hope…
