    Oh, by the way, if you root your Nook, you can load THEMES!
    HAHA!!! Funny you should say that because the first thing I did was to find wallpapers for my Nook and sideload them on and change my wallpaper every morning!
    LMAO!!!

    morning Ramblers! Holiday weekend was nice with celebrations and bbq's hope everyone enjoyed theirs as well!

    Now, I have a question for you guys. My bb has succeeded to confuzzle me! Lol. I had a batex file that I wanted to share with someone, and from my bb, I opened an email, and chose to attach a file. Found my way thru to the batex folder I wanted, but it would only allow me to open in and choose one of the 26 png images, not the whole file
    BUT if I went into my BW sets, I was able to choose one, but it exceeded maximum amt file size that could be sent.

    SOOO, is that normal that I can't choose the batex file from my bb to send, that it will only allow me to open it and send just a png image???
    Sheesh, I'd have to go thru and choose all 26 separately!

    Any feedback from someone would be great thx!

    Pink,
    You are correct. You can attach a BeWeather file because it is ONE bwi file. But a BattEX is a FOLDER and you can't attach folders...even on a computer...unless you zip them. Now on your berry, can you zip up the battex and then attach? That it should allow you to do!

    Someone will correct me if I'm wrong!

    ok, thanks jaydee! I thought there was something funky going on with my bb LOL. I just read hamsters post for "file scout" so i will check that out. Wheew...that would be sooooo much easier at times to send a zip'd file from the bb rather than having to rely on the laptop ALL the time to send stuff via dropbox.

    OH! i just thought of something too! Dropbox has an app for bb......i wonder i'll have to look into that.

    I made a few notes for JayDee Saturday afternoon. Here's the link: http://forums.crackberry.com/f45/ess...ml#post6366912

    If you can follow basic instructions, you can do this. And it's all reversible. Think of it like loading a hybrid on your Bold.

    Hey Ramblers, I hope everyone had a good weekend. I hang with a rather large group of folks who are all trying to better their lots in life and we all help and support each other in that process. Many are vets and we had a fantastic picnic get together yesterday. So many great folks in this world, yet it seems the bad ones get all the press which makes the stats look skewed. Seeing these people helping each other is one of life's sweet spots.

    This rambler forum really feels like a second home for me and I'm not going any place other than to test drive some new wheels. I'm at the 1 year lull point and feeling like now's the time to see what else is going on in the wonderful world of devices before the new models come out from RIM.
    I have a casio "commando" ordered that is due to arrive in a couple days. It is android. It is also one of the few "ruggedized" devices available to the general public. Built to military specifications or so they say. In any case it impressed me enough to give it a go. It's going to be nice to have a tough, well built device I don't have to constantly worry about babying. I also knew I had to test a droid os before I either wrote it off completely or maybe actually end up liking it. I've tested many before in-store only and found them kind of strange and over sensitive to the touch. Also another big downside for me was the flimsy build quality. If you sat down with it in your pocket it seemed like it would snap in half. This phone is light enough, rubberized all around, good around moisture, can actually fall into water,dirt,drops, and comes with real scratch proof glass for a screen.
    It is less sensitive(touch wise) than the others which for me will be a good thing. Battery life is reported to be better than the others. Comes with alot a backcountry stuff I can use on my off roading trips. I'm also anxious to test out the hot spot option.
    So, I'm going to leave the BB platform long enough to either get the hang of it or flat out return it in the 2 week grace period. We'll see. I'm hoping to like it.
    I checked out the new wp7 trophy and found it is not ready for prime time. To many things lacking still. Kind of like the playbook it was taken out of the oven before it was fully baked' I may check it out when the "mango" update is released later this fall. I was a huge winmo fan before I came back to BB a year ago. The mango update is supposed to make this the "in" device to have. Guess time will tell.
    I'm very excited to get a look at the new bold touch, but will be exploring other possibilities while I'm waiting for it to be released. It may be just the thing I'm waiting for. My current bold really does what I need, (but the specs are really getting dated) but then I see the droid browser and what it can do and on a bigger screen and I'm just flat out amazed. Flash works on it exquisitely. I like that feature. The touch screen on the casio is better because of the build specs it is less sensitive. This is good for me. The vertual kb is what it is and I will have to get used to it. I will really miss the bb kb for sure.
    So I've rambled long enough. Just wanted to see what else is out there and thought this is a good time to do it between RIM releases. I've not given up on BB, just on hiatas. My bold is available for sale and I will give any of the ramblers a smokin' deal. I don't need it anymore because I def will not be back on a BB until the 9930 is available. It has several charging pods(4) I think that I won't be able to use so they come with it. The track pad as I've said previously is peeling, but that's the only thing wrong with it. It has the 1700 seidio extended and the oem battery also. PM if interested.
    That;s it, I'll be around and pop in occasionally to chat or comment. I think alot of the old regulars have fallen away from being regular since we were sent to rehab. I expect a whole slew of new folks will start up when the bold touch is released. I trust the Queen and her court of ladies will keep the "rambler" thread from falling into the archives. The guys need a place to pop into every so often.
    So, I'm off to test drive the new stuff. But I'm not gone. No more bbm, but pm will work. I'll be around. FWIW
    ciao all

    I did dlwd the free 14(?) day trial and tested by zipping a batex and sending it from the bb and it worked fine! So, as little as i may use it, I still think its worth the $4.99 its on sale for as of now.

    +1 this thread and the 9650 forum in general have really slowed considerably, but that's to be expected I guess as new deivces pop up on the radar. I know my interest level in CB couldn't be any lower. All I'm really looking for are leaks for the 9650 while I still have it, and I can get those updates via tweets from N4BB.

    Pink, I tried the Vintage by Cocky Culture - Yesterday's swagger on today's BlackBerry! | CrackBerry.com theme, and give it a "meh" overall. Looks nice, but it's kind of difficult to navigate around the homescreen. I'm glad it didn't pay for it ( a big thanks to the theme fairy!!!)

    hi midd, hifx just posted with an update to fix the theme bug. I'm dwlding and replacing now. I'll be setting it up in about 10 mins or so and hopefully all will be good! So just in case your interested in re-dwling the updated version, as it is a very nice theme. OH! and hifx also added a bunch of shortcut keys as well! check out the original post for the list

    hey Paul! yea, i saw that theme too, and while it does look nice, i did foresee that getting around on the homescreen could be difficult, so i passed on it. I didn't ask the theme fairy for this one LOL

    also, its not wp friendly IDT, so thats another reason too.
