    OK...... This is going to sound stupid but I've had this curve 8330 for about a month now and can't figure out how to send picture mail either by email or SMS

    Picture mail is MMS. In the messages list press the bb key, select compose MMS and compose the message like a regular text message. Now to insert the picture, press the bb key, select Attach Picture and then select the picture you want to send. Finally send the message. But the MMS option will only be available to you if you are using the 4.5 OS.

    another way is: right after taking a pic, scroll all the way to the right to the little envelope icon and select it, it will then give u the option to send the pic as email, mms or messenger (bbm)

    if you are sending a pic that u already have saved, just scroll to it and hit the bb key (application key) and it will give you those same 3 options again when you scroll down!

    OK.... I've done two things. One, I went to the Messages icon clicked on the bb key and no where did it say Compose MMS. All I see is Compose SMS Text, Compose Email and Compose PIN. I also went to the picture I want to send and highlighted it, clicked on the bb key and all I see is Send To MYSpace, Send To Facebook, Send To Messenger Contact and Send Using Bluetooth. I tried clicking on the Send To Messenger Contact and all I got was a window that said Select a Contact but it was empty and I couldn't select any contact. Now I'm realy confused. I couldn't find Compose MMS anywhere. Now what?

    when you connect your BB to DM (desktop manager) im pretty sure you should be prompted to upgrade since 4.5 is the latest OS.... just select yes to upgrade now and DM should do all of the work!

    Someone please correct me if im wrong, I upgraded to 4.5 a while ago on my Curve so ya....

    There's a sticky at the top of the Curve forum on here specifically for the Sprint Curve.

    Went to the Sticky and the upgrade is only for the 8330m and not a regular 8330. I never heard of an 8330m. what the heck is the difference?

    i work at the Fire Dept full time and we all have blackberries but diff carriers. i have verizon where the most have cincinnati bell and a few have sprint. all of us share pics back and forth but usally its through BBM. As far as the guys with sprint they have to send pics as emails as sprint does not offer MMS service how stupid right... they have called and asked about this and there has been no answer to why or if even when.. jst thought i would add my 2 cents...
