viewing images on blackberry
« on: July 16, 2010, 11:18:31 PM »
Forgive my naivete, but what's the secret to viewing sohc/4 images on my blackberry? Pictures are visible on other forums so I have a hard time believing its the phone, but then again, there are children and great grandparents more tech-savy than I.

Could be wrong, but I think it's because there is no mobile version of this forum, so you can view threads and text but images don't show.

My BB Curve does not show images on the forums but it does on the website [on the web page of the differant CB models].
I think Gordon is correct.

By the way, I have Sprint and a software upgrade is available, I did it to my phone today. You should have received an email from Sprint with the details.

I don't know about mobile optimized, but I can navigate quite well on a Palm Pre+ and it displays images fine, provided they are supported formats and most forum images seem to be.

Including photos that members post?

Yes, as far as I can tell. For example in "Member Bike Pics" it displays them all.. so far.

So true, Bob.  And after my comments, I must admit I just took over a small netbook.  My wife got this Sony P588E last year as an "easy to carry on trips" way to get email.  It was painfully slow because it had Vista (apparently not made for the Atom processor).  She got an IPad about 4 weeks ago, so I got the P.  I just installed Windows 7 on it and it's a real computer again.  I'm enjoying everything except the squinting.

I bought an iphone and didn't like it. Plus, now my employer provides a [free] Blackberry w/unlimited phone & data plan
