Dear RIM,
So you're on a call. All of a sudden, somebody else calls, and your screen is filled with the classic "incoming call" screen. There are two problems here. 1) if you were doing something on your phone other than talking, like looking at something on a website, reading the latest juicy exchange with your ex-boyfriend off BBM (these are reasons we have BlackBerrys to begin with--to be ABLE to do many unnecessary things all at once), well forget it. You must wait FIFTEEN seconds, or whatever, until the call ends. Which is an eternity, these days. 2) If you want to get back to what you were doing, the only options you have are to reject the call or to wait it out. You cant send the interrupting call to the background, which would allow you to carry on your business and let the call ring its turn in the background. Hitting reject is just rude and obvious. Despite the fact that we know people usually see calls that go unanswered, hearing just two and a half rings and then the voicemail is pretty much still a universal insult.
So, I guess it would make sense to add a "close screen" option, or something. "Ignore" would be a good word, but its already taken for rejecting the call. Maybe we should switch it up.
Sincerely,
Tara Raffi
