This is UIQ Territory

Messaging blues...

What happen when you beam a file to your UIQ 3 smartphone (via IR or BT) and you dont have any app associated with it? For example, a .ZIP file. The answer - Nothing... Because the phone cant bloody read it.





Ok. Here's what happen. I accept the file beamed to me, the phone tells me that I have a new item in the Inbox. I go to the Messaging Inbox, locate the new item, click on it. It says, "No viewer can be found... bla bla bla...". Then I click on "Save", fine... But it does not allow me to save to any location I want be it in the phone memory or the memory card... Aaarrrggghhhh!!!!! :ko:

Come on UIQ, this is 2007! At least, give a choice or a dialog to save the file to any place we want if there's no app to open it.

FYI, this behaviour have bugged me since UIQ 2 day 1 on P800. And is still the same on P1. And also the same on S60 ... Weird aint it!

And the only solution for UIQ 3 users at the moment is to use X-Plore's tool to check into the Messaging folder to locate the .ZIP file and move/copy to any location. I believe a zipper utility should be part of the OS and it MUST be out of the box experience. Not like this...



Please... share with me your grudge about this! :irked:

Possibly, next gen UIQ UI will look like this?More photos uploaded!

Yeah I share your pain man. UIQ3 feels like its an incomplete OS. There's a lot of missing features, sometimes basic functions like copy and paste are missing from some applications or don't work as they're supposed to. For example while replying to someone on a blog, for some reason cookies don't last long on the phone, and then I have to backtrack and re enter password and login info, and when I paste my message back, only half is copied over, even though I selected and copied the entire thing.

That and many other bugs, just a few minutes ago, I was writing a message thru yahoo mail on my phone and the mail software just decided to quit for no apparent reason. Very annoying.

No flash? and like you mentioned nothing to open zipped applications and many others, or not even a function like Open as... where you can specify the application you want to force to open a document like a text editor of some sort. How do we get these guys to start paying attention and release a fully capable product rather than a half hearted attempt?
