Setting A Picture As Caller Id - Blackberry dummies 2 Manual

You might also see other ways to send a picture file if you have other social
networking clients installed. For example, if you have Facebook installed, you
see the Send to Facebook option.

Setting a picture as Caller ID

Wouldn't it be nice if, when your girlfriend was calling, you also could see
her beautiful face? You can do that. If you have a photo of her saved in your
BlackBerry, follow these steps to make sure you can:
1. Touch-press the Media icon from the Home screen.
2. Touch-press Pictures and navigate to the locations of your pictures.
3. Touch-press to view the photo you want to appear when the person
calls.
4. Press the menu key, touch-press Set As, and then touch-press
Caller ID.
The photo is displayed onscreen, with a superimposed portrait-size
cropping rectangle. Inside the rectangle is a clear view of the photo;
outside the rectangle, the photo is blurry. The clear view represents the
portion of the photo that you want to show up as Caller ID.
5. Finger-scroll the picture to position it inside the rectangle, making
sure that the cropped image shows the face.
6. Press the menu key and touch-press Crop and Save to crop the image.
Contacts appears.
7. Touch-press the contact for whom you want this picture to appear.
A message appears, indicating that a picture is set for that contact.
• MMS: Similar to Email, this opens a Compose MMS screen with the
currently selected picture as an attachment. The only difference
is that MMS first displays Contacts, letting you select the person's
phone number to receive the MMS before going to the compose
screen. Another difference is that in MMS, the Storm sends a tiny
version of the picture.
• Send to Messenger Contact: This option is available if BlackBerry
Messenger is installed. This function is similar to MMS but displays
only the contacts in BlackBerry Messenger. It uses BlackBerry
Messenger to send a tiny version of the picture file.
