- Sure, just put the search widget on the home screen.
I've also set up a gesture, available when I'm inside any app, which allows me to search. It's rather handy.
On the times when I have the BT keyboard, I can immediately start typing on the home screen because the search widget has focus. I use this for launching apps a la Windows 8/MacOS Spotlight.12-08-12 05:21 PMLike 0 -
And now, with a Wi-Fi printer, print right from your phone, to boot. And there are Wi-Fi external storage alternatives hitting the market, which increases capabilities manifold. With a Wi-Fi adapter or enabled TV, stream right to the screen, to heck with the HDMI cables.
MicroSDXC? You bet. If I wanted to fork out the bucks for 32 or 64 GB device and then add 64 GB card, just look at the potential. Will the BB 10 be XC capable? I haven't heard, yet.Last edited by BergerKing; 12-08-12 at 05:33 PM.

with google now you can swipe from the bottom and either go straight into voice commands/search or you can type in your search. Its accessible from within any app also.12-08-12 05:37 PMLike 0 -
It pays no service to BB. And frankly, as a BB user, I am embarrased by the fanatical "yes, but...."12-08-12 05:42 PMLike 4 -

The pop up prompts that show up in landscape are simply embarrassing if you ask me.12-08-12 05:49 PMLike 0 - All of which would be known if someone were to actually use the devices instead of engaging in nothing more than "yes, but, BB can do ___________ SO much better than _____________ and all iPhone and Android users do is play Angry Birds and BB people DO!!!!"

For the first time, I have a calendar that syncs *all* of my additional data, including the sports calendars that I have designated, so that is a plus, also.
I've been able to eliminate a ton of papers from the cab, paring it down a lot. Our system can't use BB for the paperwork submission, because the app used isn't available. It used to cost my company $ 10 or more per trip to receive paperwork. They pared it down to about 5 using a service called Transflo. We have 5700 trucks. To use the service, you had to go to a truckstop that had the service to submit it. Time and money wasted, and we now have a big number of drivers using the Camscanner App. The company reimburses the one-time $5 fee for it.
Faxes cost as much as $2 a page. Ever try to read a vital image coming out of a funky fax machine? Not always a good thing! But a quick image and email it, and in seconds things are done.
Oh, and I throw some Angry Birds occasionally.notfanboy and pantlesspenguin like this.12-08-12 06:00 PMLike 2 -

Started off with a OP about the note II, went to a BB Vs. Google pissing match, to congratulating someone on buying a s3, to a dissertation on how good the s3 is, to how to find universal search on an s3, back to an obvious BB fanboy spouting the usual BB fanboy crapola, all the while the mods let it continue while joining in. You all should pat yourselves on the back for a job well done on totally derailing a thread, and turning it into a happy Google love fest.
Thank you one and all for wasting the 10 minutes it took me to read this 5 page thread.
Edit:
Nothing personal to anyone in this thread, but it seems to be the usual anymore. Someone make a post about a non BB device, the usual suspects show up and state the usual crap about BB is the best and everything else sucks, everyone else comes in and debate over the usual stuff. A lot of threads are starting to become more and more like this. The same people that used to complain about this happening are the same ones that are doing it now.
I knew there was a reason I stopped reading the General section and just stuck to the device specific and PB sections.12-08-12 07:31 PMLike 3 - Wow what a horrendous thread.

I've always told my friends who have other devices that my phone the 9930 can do what your phone can do, its just that no-one knows about it except anyone who has the phone that I have and it is not just for business, but for people who want to do.12-08-12 10:10 PMLike 0 - I KNOW!! It's such a ridiculous concept, I can't believe that some people are treating it like a major feature or game hanger of sorts. You can still only look at one thing/task at a time, so the practicality of it is dubious.12-09-12 12:04 AMLike 0

When I'm looking at my phone I'm looking at doing 1 solid thing at a time. I understand the meaning of multitasking but there are different forms of it. Keeping apps running in the background so they don't need to refresh every time you go back to them is the mobile multitasking I need. Not to have a the show streaming while trying to text or email. The. Having to go to the tv show and rewind and see wth they said.
Having it is cool. It I don't think the majority of people will use it. Just my opinion though.
