OK Mrweller...So why am I the only one with less than 300 MB but yet have one of the smaller number of apps installed? and less than a DOZEN themes JayDee!!!
Hmmmmm
Psst...I have a secret I forgot to tell you!
I NEVER install a straight OS. I always SHRINK the H-E- double pitchforks outta it with BB Hybrid Tools found here: BBHybrids Tool (Public Version) - Downloads - BBHybrids Forums
This allows me to delete all things I do not want from my OS before I install it; like all games, all sample videos, pictures, bb maps, all languages, all social networking except BBM, stc... I routinely save myself about 30 to 50 MB of memory before I add on all my apps and my beloved themes...
Yes, I am going a bit overboards with them I grant you that.
But have you seen al3azim's new Random???? And the rest of his stuff?
Anyway. if anyone needs help with BB Hybrid Tools, PM me or search the link I gave you. Its very valuable when loading an OS.
PS I haven't heard any chirping for the past few days either! So far so good. Still on .732 Haven't created my monster hybrid yet. Was nearly at the end of my rope. Looked into a hybrid on the Beta/Hybrid forums but that one has 732/810 radio files and we know where that leaves me...so for now I stand pat. Fingers crossed

I haven't been on the boards much lately. Life has been...um...interesting to say the least. Anyway, I have to say that these Bolds are built quite well and are very durable. I can say this for a fact as I have managed to be slippery fingers lately and have dropped my Bold several times on a carpeted floor over the past few days. Oh maybe 5 or 6 times...
I KNOW, RIGHT? What's with that? and no drinking, either!
But anyway, the phone is fine and plugging along like a champ!
Or like Bob would say, wheezing along like a champ!
LOL!
Enjoy the weekend!08-13-10 01:51 PM - Do we need to get you some rubber surgical gloves so you don't drop your baby? If it falls on a hard surface it could disastrous!Happy Friday the 13th Essex Threaders!

Edit/Add: To make matters worse, one of our A/C units, the one that serves the bedrooms, went on the fritz last night. It was well over 80 back there last night and when I checked it a little bit ago it was 87. Like sleeping in an oven. It's looking like the A/C man will not make it her tonight so we won't see him until tomorrow morning. This is more than annoying!
I'm with you on the QC on RIM's new devices. I wonder about how much real world testing is getting done on these devices before they drop. I'm thinking that it is not nearly enough. I have got to believe that they should be using beta testers other than the guys that have these sites and shops which is what I think they are doing. I would like to see them give a few test devices to regular users like they do with SW beta testing, I think they would get a lot more real world information that would help avoid some of these issues. Just my thoughts.
I'm worried that JayDee is going to have a catastrophe if she continues to drop her baby. That would really not be a good thing.

Just goes to show you even the younger late teen/20 somethings know a good solid device and aren't taken in by all the flashy bling. Of course in this case prince, maybe you let him get a good sample preview in that swayed him over.
08-15-10 01:57 AM - You know he never even mentoined that he wanted a droid. We went to VZW to get a Bold. However, the sales guy tried to push him towards a droid. My son has seen my Bold of course and he has a friend who has a Bold, so he knew what he wanted.Nice.

How will we ever get to 7k at this rate?
Prince, congratulations for training your son so well...
Thank you for taking me to task!
I have been so busy with summer school that I haven't been able to post at all!
OK, have you hear that I am beta testing all the QuickLaunch 3.0 goodness?
MMMMMMMM....yes indeed!
gotta keep it all under my hat though.
Happy Monday Essex Threaders...here we go to 7K08-16-10 03:45 PM - Theres a nice business type one on app world which is a bit over kill for what I need. $7, and it says a week trial, but I'm not finding a way to get it to trial. Seems they want to pay first. Anyway I might try it. Either that or practice more with the oem , LOL!
Thanks for the responses tho.
EDIT: Got that trial going, app world via my bold won't let you D/L trials I guess, but the CB app store had the same one and could trial it. Glad I trialed it because it's not for me. Way to much stuff on it. I'll be sticking with the oem and just work on my usage of it to get better at it. I am surprised tho that there is not a very basic math calculator on app world. I had one on my old winmo phones that was soooo easy to use and fast. But thats digressing isn't it? No problems here. Bolds still awesome as ever.Last edited by cbreze; 08-17-10 at 10:41 AM.
