- just picked up my first BB yesterday, learned a lot from searching the forum;
thanks!
something i haven't found an answer to here though - how to master opening the flip with one hand
other flip phones i used in the past had a recess/lip or grippy area to open one handed...
is there a trick to it?07-29-09 10:53 AMLike 0 - technique #1:
Hold from top (where clock face is) with thumb and index finger, wrist toward hinge. Pry open with middle finger on side.
Technique #2: Hold with middle finger and thumb on sides, pry open at bottom with index finger.
This may be easier if you get a nice cheap rubberized hardshell. I got the one another poster suggested about 3 weeks back --less than 5 bucks total including shipping and it makes the phone way less slippery and easier to handle in general. I havent even bothered to put on the bodygardz I bought yet.
Have fun!07-29-09 11:32 AMLike 0 - just picked up my first BB yesterday, learned a lot from searching the forum;

Rest the phone in your palm, thumb along one side and fingertips along the other, index finger cupping the hinge. Pry open the lid with your middle finger, catch the lid with your extended index finger. Flip it closed again with your index finger. Opened and closed in less than a second!07-29-09 04:46 PMLike 0 -
- hold it in your hand regularly, use your thumbnail to flip it open and your index finger to catch the screen
to close it, do the reverse.
i personally do that when im in a hurry but because i hate smudging my screen (and the 8220 is a fingerprint magnet) i just carefully and slowly open and close it with my other hand.08-30-09 02:24 PMLike 0 - Okay, seriously...

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com11-26-09 09:04 AMLike 0 - O.o Why does this bother you so much? So people like to discuss how they open their phone. They love their flips and I love mine, so anything pertaining to them like this I like to talk about. Im just sorry that you dont. Just get over it and keep your mouth shut and quit acting like a child who proves how much of a fool he is everytime he flaps his gums.11-27-09 06:08 PMLike 0

I like the images of the silver 8230s I've seen. I wonder how the skin would look on silver? I love this phone! It's a bit slow (I always feel I'm waiting for it to catch up to my navigation). That and the picture quality of camera are my two only gripes (and the dummy sound hole). Could use two more convenience keys and there's room.12-04-09 02:52 AMLike 0
