more questions for gurus to answer:

1) i want to setup my aim, yahoo messenger, and google chat on my 8800. is there one app i can use for all of them? if not, what do i need for these 3 and where do i go to get them?

2) i know the ALT + u shortcut marks the selected messages as "read", does anyone know if there is a shortcut for marking ALL unread message as "read"?

3) Where can i go for different themes? Is there webpage of them? Also, I kind of like one of the themes already on the blackberry (Dimension Zen), but i want to change the background picture, can i do that easily or do i need to build my own theme?

4) if i have a program that can cut a portion of a 5 min mp3 song, can i use that as a ringtone? can i set different ringtones for different people? If not, is there an app out there that can do that or something similar?


THANKS IN ADVANCE!

jtodap,
All your questions can be answered with a little bit of searching our forums.

Q1: There are many apps out there for IM's. Check the Aftermarket Software Forum. click here (http://www.blackberryforums.com/aftermarket-software/)

Q2: I don't know the shortcut off hand (if there is one) but it's pretty easy to just highlight a date and select "Mark prior opened."

Q3: There are many many themes in the Themes/Ringtones/Wallpaper Forums. (http://www.blackberryforums.com/ringtones-themes-wallpaper-discussion/) Here is a link to a sticky in that thread that instructs you on how to add more themes to your BB: Themes (http://www.blackberryforums.com/ringtones-themes-wallpaper-discussion/28821-blackberry-alx-edited-files-packaged-theme-installation-4-1-4-2-only.html)

Yes, you can change the pic in the background. Go to >Media >Pictures >Choose a picture and select "set as background image."

Q4: Use the program of your choice to edit your mp3. Then use Media Manager in Desktop Manager to transfer your mp3 over to the BB. There is a file size limit if you are not putting it on a microSD media card. I think it's around 2.5 Mb (something close to that)

4) i don't think there's a time limit. i have a full 4:30 minute song as a ring tone on mine. just make sure you put the ring tone in the right folder. (ie. ringtones, not music or pictures or top level)
