Box containing handset icon is gray and not green?
Sometimes I see this box grayed on my Z30 for an iOS BBM contact although their status is listed as " available ". Some here have said that it just means they are not in a Wi-Fi zone so Wi-Fi calling will not work. Others say it means their iPhone is turned off and others say they just do not have BBM running ( unlike BlackBerry phones where you cannot shut BBM down) but why are they listed as "available " status if their phone is off or BBM not running?
Then there is the matter of the lingering gray check mark, instead of a blue "D", beside the message although they are listed as "available" ( so how could they have their phone off or BBM shut down, if they are "available "?).
Truthfully, although they seem to like the cool features like HD pics, retractable messages etc. , I almost regret encouraging them to use BBM as it is such a pain to deal with these sort of mysterious things on my BlackBerry end. Plus this apparent need for them to have " banner notification " on to even know that I sent a message ( unless they are sometimes ignoring my messages on purpose-- lol)
BB, Still the One
