Blackberry email picture uploads

[Dan7312]

It looks like RIM is going to fix the problem that prevents Blackberry phones from uploading pictures.:clap I don't know when the fix will be available.:dunno

The problem is that when a Blackberry phone attaches and image to an email it incorrectly identifies it as a generic binary file instead of as a jpeg, which is something that SmugMug can't handle. This problem is caused by a broken Blackberry Java API.


I posted this problem to RIM in early September and after going back and forth a couple of times... it's a subtle bug to detect, they finally have repo'd the problem and said that they would fix it. This is the tracking key if you care https://www.blackberry.com/jira/browse/JAVAAPI-363. (https://www.blackberry.com/jira/browse/JAVAAPI-363.)

Hi Dan,

That's cool for all you people out there with your Blackberry's. The link you added seems to have broken up and doesn't work. Could you edit your post and use the link icon on top to embed the link properly so it doesn't break?

Cheers,
Sebastian
