BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) Best Practices: Six Tips

Feb 4, 2010 Tips & Tricks

I came across this little doozy of gem online on the CIO website. Al Sacco covers six good tips about using the BBM on your device that you might not have considered. Perhaps my favorite is the “Do not abuse the broadcast message feature”.

I was surprised to see the part about not broadcasting your PIN on public forums like twitter and FB, as thats a common way to hook up with your friends, but he does have a good point. Its all about keeping the spam down (much like you don’t post your full email address in public either). Anyway, take a look at the Post and let me know if you have anything you’d like to add to the list.

Add Hebrew To your Phone OTA!

Feb 23, 2009 Apps, Hack

The Crew from over at BerryReview has posted a really good FAQ with links on how to add Hebrew to your phone. From BR:

Smartmouth let me know that created a download page where you can easily find the right files to install Hebrew fonts on your device. The best part is that you do not need to reinstall your OS to get Hebrew fonts since this installs like an application. Smartmouth set it up that you can even add some of the read only fonts OTA but if you want to be able to write with the fonts you will need to do this using the desktop install files on the same page.

You can grab hit the Site OTA on your device and grab the install that’s right for you.

Currently, this method supports:

OTA Hebrew Read Only & Menus:

o BlackBerry Storm, 83XX Curve Series, 88XX Series, 82XX Pearl Flip Series, Bold 90XX Series, & 7290
Desktop Manager Hebrew Read & Write support:

o BlackBerry 8900 Curve, 83XX Curve Series, 88XX Series, 82XX Pearl Flip Series, Bold 90XX Series

But they provide an email link for you to hit if you don’t see yours supported.
