Hi everyone,
Took some time to get away to Minnesota to see extended family and now catching up with my rambler friends. Just my .02 on the software/hardware discussion: if I am going to pay $300 for a phone, I want it to work out of the box. If I have a dropped signal, email that will not work, or other core problems, then quality control has failed. Sadly, I expect issues with the non-essential applications on a phone. Putting it another way, if I go in to buy a new car, the navigation screen may be a bit wacky and need adjustment, but if I turn on the ignition and the car starts half the time, give me my money back. In addition, most folks have no idea how to tweak their phones or load a new os and have no interest in learning how. They simply want the phone to work, and I do not blame them. We have entered an interesting technology world; a demand for new products in shorter and shorter time increments while expecting quality control to keep up. As we know, it "aint happen'n". I would prefer a slower release cycle if it would mean my phone works as it should right out of the box. Unfortunately, the "rapid release" genie has been let out of the bottle and I am not sure it can be put back in. Where is Major Nelson when you need him.

So another new release needs to be updated before it can be used. Geezus....not very good publicity for good ol RIM.[B][COLOR=purple]99, i totally see your point in this. BUT my undies are in a bunch over it because, well, don't we boast about how well bb does email? And theres alot of unhappy 9850'ers that can rec their email but cant open it....unless they load the leak 353 up..... and the broswer issues too with the keyboard.I by all means don't expect any ph to be perfect, but to activate your fresh new 9850 out of box and not be able to read your email
thats unacceptable to me.
Pretty disappointing actually.09-09-11 01:33 AM - Happy Friday everyone!
Have a good weekend and enjoy a nice dry one for a change...weekend, that is!
As soon as the water receeds, we will have lots of cleaning to do.
I am in my new office and slowly getting boxes unpacked. I only have 300 or so left. making progress!
Of course, my class (the boys) were be unwilling helpers as soon as I meet them! "Hi, I'm your teacher for the semester and you are unpacking boxes for two weeks. How do you like school so far???"
Gotta love it!

I think rim really rushed these to just get them out and it shows, even tho it seemed like it took forever for all of us in waiting mode from the time it was announced to first releases.
They'll get it sorted out hopefully and these will be some really nice trouble free devices. I would expect the leaks/updates to come out fairly quickly. It still troubles me that RIM testers didn't see this coming with the firmware as it was released. The shortfalls and issues cropped up immediately, so is it verizon or RIM or both to lay blame with? The folks who think this is crap won't be back and that's a shame. It's given me pause for sure. I don't remember having issues with my 9650 right out of the box. It worked great, subsequent upgrades made it that much better, but it worked from day one. I wonder if it would be possible to put os-6 on a 9930? With the faster processor thats all the 9650 ever needed was a turbo boost anyway. Maybe it would disable the touchscreen feature, and gee that'd be a shame.
09-09-11 01:59 PM - I was thinking along the lines of loading an os-6 based hybrid onto the 9930. I mean what the heck is the big deal about os-7 anyway? Having a faster processor running an os-6 might be sweet. Disabling the touch screen would be an added bonus imo. The trackpad fights with it anyway. I could go for that.09-09-11 02:35 PM
- The problem is OSs are device specific and the ones that would have to remain for OS7 would be the ones you are trying to overcome. Also, When hybriding you could never use OS5 cods in a OS6 based hybrid. They just weren't compatible and I would think the same would hold true for using OS6 cods in a OS7 hybrid. They may cosmetically look like very similar OSs but they aren't.I was thinking along the lines of loading an os-6 based hybrid onto the 9930. I mean what the heck is the big deal about os-7 anyway?

- morning all....
Jaydee funny you should mention the jad and Boss not working. I was at it last week trying to create files of themes to store on my sd card and no matter how I did it, it won't/wouldn't work for me either--even after making sure I had the jad, alx & theme files in a folder on the card. I was looking at the fish loader also and curious how I could make that work to create & store the jads on my sd card also.
It also has been nuts here since school started......

Now would fish loader make an installable jad from a cod......idk either. Hopefully Midd will know

Glad you worked out the clock issue....and I just loaded up fancy widgets yesterday - it seemed nice at first but then after using the weather for about 3 hrs, it was showing the wrong temp and conditions compared to my berry weather so idk if I'm going to keep it either. Idk remember the issue you had with the clock/font but if I do keep it il keep that in mind. Thx for sharing that tip
You've been doing a kick a$$ job on the BW sets too. Idk how you manage to focus on doing so many. I have a difficult time just focusing to make one oh well, I guess it's just not in my DNA to be able to focus long enough lol.

Yes Fancy widgets was nice at first, and then became a pita to set up, and you are right, the weather did not match at all sometimes. hi hamster !!

Quick weather is much easier tho it doesn't allow for bw sets.. Maybe they will change that.
As for BW...it relaxes me really and keeps my mind busy and not thinking about my mom all the time (this is THE MONTH).....So its kind of like therapy for me lol.
It's getting harder tho to come with unique ideas...if you guys have one let me know.....K, got the get the kiddo ready for school...09-13-11 07:23 AM - Ok, I'm gonna look into quick weather also. It won't bother me too much that you can't use the BW sets because I can toggle between the 2.
Well I'm glad you found something to try to occupy your mind, and I'm very sorry, I understand how much you must miss your mom if you need to talk you can always email me girl
As for BW sets, I can agree with you there. There's soooooo many styles avail that it must be getting difficult to come up with something unique now. If I get an idea il LYK thx.
I just got my 'Brady bunch' ready and off to school....now time for some goooooood hot coffee

I'm not running the new BBMCP v1 -- I still have the beta 0.9.3 and it works pretty well.Yes I have the cod's from bbsak backups that I would need.
