Blackberry video messaging?

Question

I just got my first blackberry so I'm not really sure how everything works yet. Do i need a memory card just to receive video messages. I ask because every time I receive a video message it tells me to go to axcess my pics but I just want to view it from my phone.

Answer 1

If it tells you to go access the website it's because your carrier isn't forwarding the message to you.

If the person who sends it to you is on a different provider they'll do that.

It has nothing to do with space, but you should get a memory (microSD) card anyway.

Maybe in the future inter-provider operability will be better, but you're stuck right now.

Answer 2

Yes, I think you're going to need to use a memory card.  Video files are so big, you're not going to WANT to have them on your main memory.

When you get a video message, it won't download the whole thing until you click on it.  Once you do it needs to put that picture somewhere.

If you have a Pearl or  Curve, you're going to want to have a memory card anyway.  They have a great built in Media system so you can watch movies or listen to music with your Blackberry.
