General BlackBerry® 10 Smartphone Functions and Features

Email only accessible through the hub and when navigating between emails, you always have to go back to the hub and select new unread email.  There must be an easier way to quickly go through each email.

Hi mitchwong,

Hub is there to access your all device info easily and quickly. I guess this is the most easiest way to browse emails! The BlackBerry Hub gathers all of the messages and notifications that you receive from your different accounts into one convenient location. In the BlackBerry Hub, you can receive and respond to email, text messages, or BBM chats all in the same place, see and respond to notifications from your social networking accounts, glance at your upcoming events, and more.

thank you Tanzim.. fully agree with you... but when you need to go through 10-20 emails every half an hours.  it will be more efficient to able to swap them through quickly rather then going back to the hub and select every unread email at a time...

maybe its just me, but if this is an options.... it will be great for enterpise user

currently, there is no swiping that allows you to go to next/previous message.

there is no equivalent of the keyboard shortcuts N/P J/K U that were available until BlackBerry 7.

HUB major step backwards in terms of managing inbox content... but I suspect they will be refining and building upon it - just so darn frustrting to have compromised the once awesome inbox from BB7.1 (and earlier) to make the touch screen cats happy

@rocmon, I think the hub is here great advancement in bringing everything together..

Out of curiosity what are you missing from bbos7?

@mitchwong - you can swipe right in any message to return to the hub, then simply tap the next message that you want to view.

Trackpad for cut and paste, and physical keyboard... some features are quirky but I'm sure as a platform it will be the best but right now I work harder to do what I need on bb10

Hi roncom,

What you are experiencing is pretty normal when making such a huge switch.

I think that it is pretty safe to say that we may never see a track pad on a device again. Everything you could do before vis a vis cut and paste can be done with the Z10, there are simply new ways to do it. These new ways need to be learned and mastered, then your efficiency will go back up.. probably higher than it was before. That is not to say that there isn't room for some improvement, because there always is. I'm out and about eight now, but there are some good threads on cut paste and edit and I'll post them here when I get some free time.

As for the physical keyboard... I no longer miss it at all. after a month on this keyboard it is almost fully 'trained' and I can literally hammer out messages now. give it some time, train it by flicking words for a bit (which seems slower than it actually is) and after you feel it is 'trained' and the correct words are coming up frequently, simply hammer away as fast as you can and let the spacebar clean up the gobbledygook that you input.. man is it unbelievably fast..!

If you simply can't get used to the keyboard, well.. the Q10 will be out soon enough.. but personally I am sold on this keyboard! And I have been using physical blackberry keyboards since the 950..

Enjoy, more improvements are on the way!

Honestly, I love the BlackBerry10OS, but the Hub brins me nothing I do not already have in the Messages app in OS5.

Really, you could instantly drop out of whatever you were doing on BBOS and instantly peek at any notification that came into the device, then chose to act on it or ignore it and keep working?
