    My wife keeps complaining about the blurry pixilated pictures coming from my Z10 to her iphone4s. The picture looks clear when I take it on my phone. How can I fix this? Or is bell limiting the quality of my photo through mms?

    Open the image on your computer and see if you get the same result as your wife.

    Its probably being compressed like it does if you send it via BBM. There should be an option to send original as apposed to it automatically compressing it. I hate the way it does this. I know its to save data, but I got a 6GB data plan and I should be able to send it how every I want.

    Yes it is likely being compressed. Best option is to use cloud service, email or even blue tooth to send files.

    ^^^ Using other options like email or bluetooth is a load of sh!t. We shouldn't have to make comprimises on how we use our device. Things like this should be sorted out and it should work the same way it does on iOS and Android.
    It's these little points... and there is alot of them that get the user pissed.

    Thanks for that. I agree totally. I'm paying for unlimited text, picture and video messaging. My pics are not being sent as I intend. They are being altered. That to me is a violation of the contract I signed. Unless someone at Bell shows me that all my pics sent through mms will be altered or compressed! What the heck? I have 6 gigs data Plan!

    That a mms limitation, it doesn't allow fill quality pictures to be transferred.

    I read the Z10 only saves pics in the default size which would be huge files. Is there an app that you can change the size to a reasonable size for sending?

    Sounds like a load of garbage to me. I sent pics to my wife by the dozen and came through clear and unmodified when I had my iphone4.

    Try using a cross platform instant messenger. Whatsapp is reportedly coming this week, but you really can't wait, you can always sideload OpenWhatsapp (search the forums here).

    If you were both using iPhones with at least iOS 5, then it was likely your pictures and texts were going over iMessage (data) instead of SMS.

    Calm down, that kind if language will get you banned here. We're pretty sure you were using imessage not mms, big difference.

    My apologies. It's just the remarks people make accusing people of making things up. I don't know what tech terms are what. All I know is my wife won't stop complaining about poor quality pics. I'll try the app thing. Thanks for your help.

    WhatsApp will be coming out next week, I believe that's the most used cross platform instant messenger app.

    I wasn't actually saying you were lying i was more doubting that its the phones fault,its more the network,and yes i think ur pics were going through imessage as mentioned,so maybe the best choice is a cross platform messenger

    First of all if u guys are actually waiting for whatsapp it won't be out next week. If it is it'll be late in the week but I highly doubt any rumors I hear these days about anything to do with BlackBerry, your just setting yourself up for a complaint thread here.. . The picture via mms is a real problem. I've spent years sending pics via mms on other blackberries to my office at work and they are all legible. The pics I take now are same as op's, grainy over mms.... also the portrait only typing has me at the end of my ropes. My fingers way too big for this. Every single word is a spelling mistake, then it changes it to a word I don't want.

    Alright, at least that will buy me some time with my super demanding spouse. To make matters worse is that she's berry bashing. Saying it takes blurry pics. I hope the whatapp arrives tmw!

    This has me concerned also. I know it's meant to be used one handed but one handed doesn't work for me as I have issues with my hands and wrists where it hurts them to do so. I'll have to wait and see when I can actually try one.

    For the MMS I hope they fix that too.
