;)

Looks dry to me already, he just can't be arsed any more.

Oh no, you get it all wrong, RIM have REALLY moved the game forward with this. Leading the way into 2010 of how mobile media devices will operate.
Its mindblowing, electrifying, and totally class leading. :thumb:

I am of course kidding, and just taking the piss.
It is however a nice upgrade to the current BBM, and a step in the right direction for all us lonely misguided BB owners who have not yet seen the iLight

I am quoting that for future reference :D

Aint that the truth :D

lol you can save it, I had saved it from a previous thread anyway :D

Yeah, us sad BB owners, we were never cut out to be as hip and cool as the iPhone nation we live in. But we are happy in our little niche :p

Im gonna try and break free and get an iPhone when Orange launch them :thumb:

You cant leave all us BB owners!

Yeah Michael !!! How could desert your faithful few , who have hung onto every word and followed you down paths they never imagined, bodly stepping into the world of the crackberry only to be deserted by their messiah when he jumps ship and leaves them all floundering in a sea of emails, updates and funny scroll wheels ..you barstard :mad::lol1:

lol its ok James im not.
I just want to get one to see what exactly is so fandiddlytastic about them.
I would not be without a BB now, regardless.

The iphone will just be something I am considering as one of my upgrades that I can use at the gym for music.... Just to replace my ipod lol.

BB for life.... no doubt.

Only just got myself an 8900 curve last week. I love it! :D Didn't want to follow the crowd with the I-phone either, or the £45 per month contract. :razz:

Welcome to the little corner mate :luxhello:
254D4E45 if you get bored :D or I can help in any way.

You having fun with it, done the whole customising thing yet ?

Please tell me 254D4E45 is? i assume it is a msg address of some sort?

Have played a little, but can't find any decent backgrounds for the main screen.

lol Chris its a PIN code, you have one too.
It enables messaging via email and BBM BlackBerry Messenger.
Quite a few SNetters on BBM now, so its just a good little resource to use from time to time, or when bored lol.

To get yours, press shift/alt/h together, and a status screen will pop up, PIN will be one of the sections on it. Always 8 characters.

If the iPhone was able to properly run iChat as a background app, like RIM does with BBM, it would be a TOTAL win....

BBM is very very good at what it does - allows instant messaging, worldwide, from device to device in the background.

BBM was a proper life saver while I was in the USA, and great to have random chats with people around the world too lol.

Apple have just launched an app for iPhones, in fact very similar to BBM, and actually advertised as "Blackberry have BBM... Now Apple has..."
Obviously not officially advertised like that, but by the masses thats the expression that was used.

Now they have that, RIM will collapse and die, and us BB users will HAVE to use an iPhone, its the only way :Whatever_ :lol1:

I do agree though, BBM is a simple yet great application.

Yes, agreed. The iPhone app is still an app that you have to run - and it relies on push notifications.

The pure simplicity and beauty of BBM means that you don't even have to think about it.

Just got round to uprading my messenger too now, BBM5 is indeed a nice piece of software.

My pin is 2110C97A if anyone wants to add me?

Took ya bloody time !
Bolt 1.5 is the next one to try out.

Oh and for anyone looking for a weather app. BerryWeather is on sale today only for $4.97. Great app :)

LOL, been busy with some big DIY work,

Jist upgraded Berrybuzz too to latest version, I'll look for Bolt 1.5 now,

Bolt has now been downloaded too!

Whats bolt?

A new browser for the Berry's

Bolt Browser v1.5 released! - BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com

Pretty good, nice and smooth, fast. Only downside is lack of hotkeys at the mo.
Worth toying with none the less.

BerryWeather for anyone interested :)
BerryWeather 1.5 now with RADAR MAPS and GPS - Personal Productivity BlackBerry Apps - Crackberry BlackBerry Software Store

Snazy, any apps for allowing video viewing available at the moment?

Thanks

The beta version of the new Bolt browser is meant to have a built in YouTube player. Is that the sort of thing you mean, or did you mean a specific type of video file ?

Thats exactly what I meant. I'll check it out:thumb:

bought it today. seems first class. would like radar maps of uk though

Yeah UK radar would be cool, but facts neatly presented will do me for now lol.
I have some of the cities in Florida on it too, so can watch their storms blow in on radar haha.

DS, good stuff mate, was using it last night, seemed to do the job, let me know how it goes.

youtube in bolt is cool. finally BB will play youtube stuff

Thanks. Stupid question of the week time.....how do I get the bolt app? Will it be on the bb apps world link on my phone?
