    Default New guy with questions

    I've had my Pearl for about a week now. So far so good. Texting took a few days to get used to but there aren't many words I text that aren't in the dicitionary.

    This is my first Blackberry and I've tried using the search engine to find the answers to my questions with no avail so here they are.

    1) Pics and videos. I'll be upgrading to OS 4.5 shortly but until then and after when my wife sends me a picture or video from her phone it comes across as a link to sprint mail. On my previous Samsung Instinct it came directly to me as a text msg. Will this problem be rectified once I upgrade to 4.5 or is there an app to download so I don't have to get on the web to get the pics and videos?

    2) Call logs/texts/emails/missed msgs and calls. All of the aforementioned show up on the same list. Is there a way to separate text and video msgs from emails, and the call logs?

    Thanks again for the help. I'm enjoying my phone but I would definitely enjoy it more if I could fix some of the above "issues."

    Not sure. She has a Sprint LG so she's probably just taking the pic/video and sending it. Does it make a difference? If so I'll have her send it in the format that works best.

    Thanks for the quick response.

    No matter what OS you are using, MMS picture messages will always show up as Sprint Picture Mail. Annoying as it is, it's the way Sprint does it.

    Ya mms does not work like a normal phone when being sent through BB.. Certain companies have set up the mms to work right through to the message box on the phone. I see sprint has yet to do this

    At least now I know. Maybe Sprint will change it in the future, probably though. Thanks for all the quick responses and help.

    The Blackberry Tour
    The Blackberry Curve 8330M

    The Pearl, Old Curve, 8350i all still do the MMS Link to Sprints Picture Mail
