Text messaging using the NEW BlackBerry Messenger 6.0

Using BBM to SMS

So you want to use BlackBerry Messenger to send text messages, do you? I don’t blame you. BBM is an excellent place for keeping up with the people you message most frequently. Chat threads are saved and easily continued. Contacts can be split into different categories like “work” and “family” and “Wednesday Night Bowling League.” And I find it much easier to start a text conversation by opening BBM and tapping on a contact. To send that same message using the Messages app, I have to open the app; touch Compose Message; then Text; then type in the name of the contact; and press enter. Already, BlackBerry Messenger is looking like a great place to store my text messaging BBM Contacts.

NHCBBA PSA: PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS!

Quote Leave a comment

FYI  TO ALL.

Dave’s brother is a very advanced programmer who does computer work for a living and has a high up status with Microsoft.  He doesn’t send these if they aren’t real.  If he says this is for real, it for sure is.  Be aware.

VIRUS COMING !

I checked with Norton Anti-Virus, and they are gearing up for this virus!

I checked Snoops, and it is for real. Get this E-mail message sent around to your contacts ASAP.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS!

You should be alert during the next few days. Do not open any message with an attachment entitled ‘POSTCARD FROM HALLMARK, ‘regardless of who sent it to you. It is a virus which opens A POSTCARD IMAGE, which ‘burns’ the whole hard disc C of your computer.

This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address in his/her contact list. This is the reason why you need to send this e-mail to all your contacts. It is better to receive this message 25 times than to receive the virus and open it..

If you receive a mail called’ POSTCARD,’ even though sent to you by a friend, do not open it! Shut down your computer immediately. This is the worst virus announced by CNN.

It has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever. This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday, and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus. This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is kept.

FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO YOUR FRIENDS.

REMEMBER:  IF YOU SEND IT TO THEM, YOU WILL BENEFIT ALL OF US

PLUS IF YOU GET ANY NEW INFO PLEASE SEND IT TO Support@nhcbba.com

Leave a comment

BlackBerry PlayBook April 10

According to BGR, the BlackBerry PlayBook looks to be somewhat on schedule and set to launch April 10th in the US in at least some retail channels. While we originally were told by RIM the device would be out and about by the end of March (aka it would launch sometime in Q1 2011), we’ll definitely settle for April. As we knew already it looks like it will be sold in retailers like Staples and Office Depot among others, as well as via carriers. Details are pretty sparce at the moment, but with the date just over a month away we should (hopefully) get some more info soon. If anyone hears any NEW info please contact us in the comments or email us at info@nhcbba.com

Rumor: NEW Blackberry 4G Codename "Triton" – Coming June 2011!?!?

Leave a comment

Say hello…to the first ever Blackberry 4G with an app store…The Blackberry Triton! The unofficial name (Triton) suits it well as it will be without a doubt, the best blackberry ever… strong, fast, and elite. The new 4G Blackberry does not have a home yet, so which network will get it first is unknown. AT&T is building a 4G network, so is Verizon Wireless (LTE)…but Sprint already has a 4G network and T-Mobile is not too far behind. If all goes as expected, 4G speeds will be 4 to 8 times faster than 3G network rates today, with coverage available over broader areas. The Blackberry Triton should be made with both CDMA and GSM technology, making it compatible on all U.S. Carriers. No more downloading apps from websites, using desktop managers to install and remove items or typing out a credit card number on your phone, unless you want to of course, but why would you when you can access the app store right from your phone! With Blackberry App World, you can get the best applications, instantly. This Blackberry is set to have a sleek, modern design with a touch of the Blackberry Storm in it’s functionality. The functions for the phone itself are an enhanced version of the Storm, such as accessing the phone book, calendar, etc… but the home screen is wide open for you to customize with applications from the new Blackberry App World. The new Blackberry Triton has app makers scrambling to write the best applications possible to be worthy of the Blackberry line.

List of possible features:

  • Mini Camera on front for Video Chat
  • High Definition 5.0 Mega Pixel Camera
  • High Definition Camcorder
  • High Definition Audio
  • HD Memory Card
  • OLED Screen
  • Multi-Touch Navigation
  • True GPS
  • Youtube
  • Blackberry App World

Get ready to customize your blackberry in way you never imagined. Download the Facebook application right to your Blackberry Triton…add the Bloomberg application to keep up on the financial world. Want a mortgage calculator? A pharmacology guide?…or just about anything you can imagine… simply access the Blackberry App World and it’s yours in seconds. This app store and phone will work a lot like the iPhone in terms of downloading applications. Surf the web, stream live video, audio, download movies, games and video chat live at lightining speeds. Multi Touch Navigation makes it almost impossible to select the wrong function from the touch screen. Using multi touch technology, the screen is able to register multiple points being selected at one time which makes viewing and selecting material effortless. The Blackberry Triton has quite a few unique features possible. The home screen buttons have been updated to reflect a more modern, exciting interaction in order to place a call or surf the web!
