The way bbm5 handles pics sucks. it seems like after someone accepts, the pic is pulled from your phone. Very very slow process, especially if when the accept your signal is not good. The need to change this.

I agree, I don't understand why they switched it from the way it was to this. I liked being able to preview the picture and if I wanted to download it I would.
