Upgrade the alarm clock to allow multiple alarms to be set up at once. I use my alarm for everything from getting up from when I need to take medication, and it’s so much easier to have a list of alarms to enable and/or disable.

The Blackberry is primarily targeted at us business users. One of the easiest feature missing is the ability to quickly change profiles or mute the ringer when going into a meeting (e.g. switch on Treo handsets). A one button profile changer or hard switch is a no brainer.

Second suggestion is harder to do because it goes against the iden spec, but do away with the pull-out antenna, either with a built-in one or a replacement low-profile nubby antenna. If anyone has kids, you know what I’m talking about. Carrying a child while having your blackberry on your built yields an “ouch! daddy your phone is poking me”.

1) Consistency! The features & model variance is starting to get a little out of hand. Don’t leave any major network without the same great model offerings and features you have on others (e.g. Nextel w/o a 7100 series or SMS).

2) Resist urge to go consumer. Blackberry devices weren’t meant for Johnny Teanager or Jane Shopper. Don’t add cameras, games, music, etc. I guess this doesn’t qualify as how to make it better but it is a comment on what not to do to your existing evangelizeing/dedicated customer base.

On the screen that displays the list of e-mail messages, having the icon change to indicate whether the message has been saved locally would be extremely helpful.

Allow me to set my backlight on the HIGHEST setting as the default when I’m using it.
