    2. Paste into a email and send it your your phone.

    3. Open email and they will still be dots or black squares

    4.  Copy and paste into messenger and they will all show up.

    5.  Find which one you want, select and copy.

    6.  Go to options and then autotxt.

    7.  Paste icon and create a shortcut.

    8.  Repeat for each icon you want to save.

      I will admit it’s very time consuming if you want to keep a lot of the icons.  I do not know why RIM doesn’t make some sort of interface for accessing these icons.  But for now it’s what we have to work with.

    Bolt Browser Updated for BlackBerry

      Bolt launched a big update to their BlackBerry alternative browser.  Bolt brings some missing functions that the built in browser does not have-yet!.  They have updated to version 1.7.

    bolt

    Some of the new features include:

    • International localization – added language support
    • Widgets – install web apps to run from within BOLT
    • Twitter integration – post tweets from within BOLT
    • Usability Enhancements – keyboard shortcuts, scaling of text and images

    I would encourage anyone to try out Bolt.  Get it here: Bolt 1.7

    How to Use Google Buzz From Your BlackBerry

      The new Google Buzz feature has a lot of people Buzzing!  Some love it, others-not so much.  As of right now, Google makes no built in provisions or applications for using Google buzz on your BlackBerry.  The built in web browser isn’t enough to access it. However there is a work around.

    buzz

      It is pretty simple.  You will need to have Bolt browser ( http://boltbrowser.com/home.html )or Opera Mini version 5 or above ( http://www.opera.com/mini/next/ ).

    Then just enter this address,  https://m.google.com/app/buzz and click on “ continue on an unsupported device”.  Click on menu and then just log in with your buzz info.

      Every BlackBerry owner should have Bolt or Opera mini 5 installed in my opinion.

    UberTwitter Beta 7 Released to All

      Lots of Beta’s and twitter news for BlackBerry.  I think Beta is a cop out to keep users from being upset over bugs and broken applications.  But this is how tech works sometimes.

    ubertwitt

    If you can not get Social Scope ( The best in my opinion ) and do not want to try leaked RIM application ( see previous post), then Ubertwitter is for you. 

     

    Here is a list of changes:

    • Picture/Video Chooser - Modified to be much quicker and sort newest files to the top. Once BlackBerry fixes the bug in 5.0 which prevents us from using their built-in chooser, we will switch to that which will provide thumbnails.
    • Viewing TwitLonger Tweets - Fixed bug where longer tweets were getting cut off
    • Copy/Paste Links - Fixed a bug where when you copied/pasted a link from a tweet it would end up pasting the entire link.
    • Avatar Uploads - Fixed a bug where some users avatar uploads would consistently fail.
    • Flickr Image Support - Now support in-line thumbnails and viewing of Flickr images.
    • TwitGoo - Now support in-line thumbnails and viewing of TwitGoo images.
    • Pressing Enter on Uber Bar - Pressing ENTER on the Uber Bar will now select the tab.
    • Friend Picker - Fixed a bug where the friend picker would sometimes not show up when pressing '@'
    • Battery Drain - Fixed a bug where failures to load your friends list would significantly drain the battery.
    • Short-cut to Email a Tweet - press 'z' to email a tweet!
    • Spurious reboots/White Screens - Through painstaking tests with our test group we tracked down the issue that was causing spurious reboots and instability for some users.
    • WiFi Only Fix - Fixed a bug where users with no data plan were unable to use the wifi only mode.
    • Reply All and underscores - Fixed a bug in reply-all where users with an underscore were not getting copied properly.
    • Added Cancel to retweet dialog - Added the option to select 'cancel' when being asked whether to use the new or old retweet method.
    • Load More on list timelines - Fixed the 'load more' button so it actually works at the bottom of list timelines.
    • Focus switch to tweet text - Changed the focus to be the tweet text and not the avatar when opening a tweet
    • www.twitpic.com URL now supported - Now support www.twitpic.com for preview and image views.
    • Inability to delete tweets less than 15 characters - Fixed the bug where you couldn't delete tweets less than 15 characters.
    • Adding account to account list - Fixed bug where adding a new account didn't immediately show up in the account list.
    • BirdNext Proxy Bug - Fixed a bug so that the Bird Next proxy will now work when posting tweets.
    • New Style Retweets Truncated - Fixed bug where new style retweets would sometimes be truncated if the original tweet was close to 140 characters.
    • Sponsored Content - Changed sponsored content 'bubbles' to look different then regular tweets.
    • GPS failures - Fixed an issue where the built-in GPS would not be used for location.
    • Exceptions when permissions were not granted - Fixed numerous issues which would be triggered if the application didn't have adequate permissions.

    Official RIM Twitter Client Enters Beta Program.

      Rim official Twitter application went beta today.  Invites are being sent out for anyone who wants to try it out but they seem to be not accepting everyone.

    rim twitter

      It looks a lot like the Social Scope application.  I guess it is safe to say Twitter has hit the big time if RIM is designing unique application for it.

    Stop by this link to try to get a beta invite: RIM Twitter beta 

    Otherwise you just have to wait till it goes official; which looks to be in about a month.
