Chris Short installed the ROM. Still doesn't make for a very nice on-line experience with the TX, but I don't use the TX online anymore anyway. Would be nice to check weather and exchange rates, etc..., but I can ask my wife or one of my kids to look it up on their device. As it happens, NetFront is now running here. A bit of Googling revealed that Dmitry packaged NetFront and supporting files in a PRC you could hotsync, and it would install it for you. Worked fine and was painless. (How I missed the package poking around on Dmitry's site isn't clear.) (There's a TX ROM posed on Dmitry's site, but no documentation on the site or in the archive of what it does and how it differs from the stock ROM. Without knowing more, I wasn't about to fiddle.) > Also, the new Blackberry devices with V10 of their OS looks very capable. Yep. RIM bought Qnx, makers of a real time OS solution, and used Qnx as the basis of the new BB OS. It looks very nice indeed. The big lack at the moment is apps, which will require attracting developers back to the platform. It's a classic Catch 22: they need apps to sell devices, but developers are unlikely to write for the platform unless it has a proven market who might buy their wares. > Best Regards, > Dwight... ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 ------------------------------------ Latest pedit/pToolSet/LapTopHack at http://www.osuweb.net/~pc/pca/pc_all.zip pedit/pToolSet/LapTopHack scripting info/resources at http://www.peditors.com Peditors Forum http://groups.yahoo.com/group/peditors Unsubscribe by writing to peditors-unsubscribe-hHKSG33Tihh4sT85+ipIM4ckdKdSAMto@public.gmane.org!
