Dear RIM,
I just can't stand it when names are not capitalized. Not only are names always supposed to be capitalized--its just proper grammar--but also, to not capitalize them is just rude. For example, I would never send a text message saying, "aloni, we should get ethiopian food tonight." This would be a poor example of proper capitalization in both ways. Instead, I would type, "Aloni, we should get Ethiopian food tonight."
What does this have to do with the Blackberry? I'm not shooting for the stars--I don't expect the BlackBerry dictionary to know every single word in the English language that needs to be capitalized. (The word "I" is automatically capitalized, but that is because it is a default command of AutoText--BlackBerry's best function after BBM, in my opinion.)
But what I do expect is that the BlackBerry be able to automatically capitalize names that are entries in the AddressBook. They are already automatically added to the Dictionary (try it, it works!), and it is known that all names should be capitalized. So though it would be nearly impossible and highly impractical for RIM to attempt to have a default functionality that auto-capitalizes all names (there are an infinite number of names and nicknames), each customized BlackBerry has in its PhoneBook a list of words that will definitely require capitalization.
RIM, please automatically capitalize the names of AddressBook contacts.
Sincerely,
