Chapter 7. MESSAGE ATTACHMENTS

BLACKBERRY BASICS:

  • V-Card attachments can be used to share contact information with other BlackBerry users and can be imported into the Address Book easily.

  • An Attachment Service can be installed on your BES to enable viewing of common attachment types.

  • Attachments cannot be edited.

  • Attachments can be viewed in small pieces to minimize bandwidth usage.

Up to now, we've only talked about the basics of working with messages. Now it's time to roll up our sleeves and get into the fun stuffhandling attachments.

Let's face it: We get email messages with attachments all the time, and they are important to us. It's no wonder that people expect to be able to work with attachments on their handheld in much the same way they do on their desktop.

The problem with attachments, though, is that they are generally files that are larger than the handheld can physically store. In addition, there are so many types of files that it is impractical to make a small device such as a BlackBerry have the storage capacity and horsepower to be able to open them all.
