I've just a few thoughts on how SE can improve upon the functions/features of TOP Tier'd phones in their lineup such as the K790/800, and walkman phones.
> We ALL love SE phones because of the features and the functions they provide and that incredible yet INTUITIVE menu. However most of us have crossed over to other platforms OR upgraded to the M600/P990/W950 smartphones to get MORE of what we want in our everyday phone for functions we use everyday.
So I started thinking of things I do on my SE W810i, that I'd like to see improve. I do hope you can positively critique my thoughts and even add some of your own.
1. The Calendar.
- I use the calendar EVERYDAY for the varying shifts that I work. I make my work schedules as appointments, and if I leave early or arrive late, adjust on the fly within an hour after I arrive to work. And at the end of the week (I get paid weekly), I have to enter my hours online & in a claim application that MUST be accurate else I dont get paid. Now my shift is a rotating shift, and somedays within the week My shift would be swapped with a colleague for differing hours. Which brings me to my thought.
> I'd like the calendar to have the ability to show an Ajenda type view. Not quite like the weekly view, but more like ALL days that have appointments and NOT showing days that DONT have appointments. Furthermore I'd like the ability for the calendar to show the total hours for the appointment in its preview screen (updating on-the-fly), even if I later adjust it AFTER the appointment is finished. The K800 is a powerful, elegant business like phone, but not all of us professionals want to USE a smartphone. I like the stability of my W810i. Lastly on this subject of Calendar, it would be stupendous if I can tell the calendar to subtract 30mins from the total time of appointments: based on a week,month or year, and seperately based on a 2-6-12-24hr interval. It may sound to some as a ridiculous request, but many times I'm entering my work schedule, my brain is thinking of Troubleshooting BB's while guiding user through settings while typing those notes into a ticket IF it needs to goto the BES Admins. Subtracting 2.5hrs from a shift while figuring the odds/ends of total hours in a week isnt on my mind.
2. Notes.
Give us the ability to attach NOTES to an existing schedule. This way I dont have to close out of any day/week/ajenda (hopefully to see day of light) view to scroll through 12+ notes to find the right one. While we're at it give us the ability to TITLE our notes without having to take up the text space of the note that will result in MS Outlook/Apple iCal/MS Entourage.
I cannot think of anything else but add more thoughts if you like.
Common SE I love your phones.

I feel your pain. I'd have a P990 a month ago, but woes experienced by users such as yourself made me think of what I need or want in a platform based phone (regular phone), that can keep me satisfied from not owning a smartphone. Keep faith I'm sure SE will get the P990i sorted.

This screenshot from gsmarena's review of the W950i is an example of the Calendar feature I was looking for. Maybe not with the hybrid display per say but you get the idea.
