Default Screen magnifier for BB 8330

(sorry, my english is not that good)
I have poor vision, and i'm having trouble seing my screen, specially watching
YouTube.
Is there some kind of screen magnifier (like a magnifying glass) that i could
put on my screen to help my old tired eyes.

Thanks.

Ed

I am unaware of any zoom apps for BlackBerry (or WinMo), so I can't help with the YouTube issue. As for everything else, have you tried increasing the font sizes?

Yes, I have increased the font sizes and that helped quite a bit.
What i'm looking for, is somekind of magnifying film that could be put on
the screen itself to make the whole screen look bigger.
Kind of like putting a magnifying glass over the screen to make everything look larger than what it is.

Thanks.

Get a bigger model BlackBerry, That should help out, or U can try. to adapt a magnifing glass used on sony PSP or Nintendo hand held games that might help. Where there is a will there is a way ;o)

Get reading glasses, this is the best solution. The screen magnifier contraption that's selling for $50 is cumbersome. I'm surprised (or not surprised) that bb has not made a solution for this. Like there's no zoom for Word Mole or other apps such as Pandora (I asked Pandora to give bigger fonts since I actually lost a pair of glasses fumbling for them to read name of band/song in a wind storm).

Good luck.
