| |  Best Trick Ever!!! camara on every screen!
So you can have your camera open at all times in a little box! Now I can walk and text and know where I'm going! So all you do is go to options-status-bb button-show keyboard and then type test. Then check camera and run and it will tell you to click abutton to open the viewfinder, then just click the screen and it close...viola its still up!
Just open your camera app to close it.
5.0 only?
Better directions by jordanbyrnesbbstorm
step 1. on home screen, go to options.
Step 2. Go to status
Step 3. hit BB menu button
Step 4 select "show keyboard"
Step 4 type the word "test"
A white screen should pop up
Step 5. Got BB menu button
Step 6. Select "start"
Step 7. Select "camera" and hit run
Step 8. Hit any key. Call, menu, escape, or end.
A little box should come up with the view from the camera, of not then update your OS. Earlier ones I believe don't have this option.
STEP 9. Press and hold you BB menu button and select home screen.
From there you go to your messages it contacts and send them a text. Or do what ever you wana do.
To get rid of the box either open up you camera.

It's a neat feature. However, I'd walk into a tree going through all of these steps to get it going so I could see where I was going while texting. o_O

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com | Yeah after I type test nothing happens so Im getting a feeling that its OS related which sucks.
Ok wait I got it to work but there is no camera option in the list ?
