[IndianMascot]

I wasn't aware you could email the report. Email support would be easy. If you can tell me all about it. Which id(common for all operators?) and what shold the format.

Nope, not common for all operators, I think you can use blank space to fill the mail id one time and it may remain same till user changes it.


Customer care mail id is [email protected]

ah right. symbian is the only other platform which could probably have a similar app. ios is not happening. not sure about windows phone if third party apps can interact with sms app on the phone to process on them.

@chromy, i tried asking him about why should i get calls for feedback...........idea man said its as per norms of TRAI, but he couldnt tell me any more specific details about what is the notification no, he said we can visit website of TRAI.:suspicion:

He could easily port to BB10 when (if ???) its out. Long time to go though.

 

[Sushubh]

lol. it's harassment of course. as for bb10... supporting android apps is going to be different than supporting apps that connects to native features on the phone. unless RIM is providing access to system apps, compatibility with android apps is not going to change anything.

I doubt that TRAI would ask to call & update. They would have vaguely said update the customer of the status. Anyway, after next cal, that number would be filtered using an app which I am hoping one of you would suggest shortly

Well I would say they would need to support those APIs, otherwise it will be a disaster.

Also, I hope you read about someone writing an article as to how he was able to easily port his ios game to BB10 & even others should be able to do easily.

 

[Sushubh]

well it all depends upon what strategy rim follows with bb10. would they make it like wp or ios... or would they make it like android. what kind of restrictions would be applied on third party apps. hard to say right now right?

This has some info.

Maybe an Android dev here (jdeepak or someone else) can throw some light here.
