what's that? mobile cash withdrawel? Yeah, i want that app too...
noh, just kidding... i dunno know if there's such app?

there is an app... but its for the google android phone and iphone only... which is kinda retarded....
i really hope that they make a mobile banking app (BoA) for winmo phones.. i would most definitely utilize it

try this: http://www.brothersoft.com/mobile/bank-of-america-mobile-banking-11452.html

oo wow nice... but i am a little cautious on this one... anyone try it yet?? any reviews? forgive my hesitation.. its just that i rather not give out my info to a third party app,,, (even though it says BoA??) i just figured that if it was officially licensed by BoA.. then it would be available through them as well... hmmm

o ya.. doesn't work

If you go to the bank of america website the app is on there.

^ It's not, only iPhone, Android and Blackberry devices.

yea like i said before... i really hope they finally develop one for windows mobile... especially the hd2... i mean COME ON!!

it is pretty bad considering that windows mobile is the top device used to access bank of america's mobile banking site.
I read that on their site a couple months back, guess its changed now, here's what their site says:
To access Mobile Banking, customers simply go to http://www.bofa.mobi/ on their phone's web browser and enter their Online Banking ID and passcode to access their accounts. Apple iPhone, RIM Blackberry and Microsoft Windows Mobile devices are the most popular ones used by mobile banking customers.

still should be an app although i'm not too bothered by their mobile site other than right after you log in it takes you to a page that just says "welcome to mobile banking"

I was told by a rep at the bank if you contact them and request a winmo app and there are a lot of others doing the same then they will do it.

It's annoying how huge companies like Bank of America won't make an app for winmo. They have many business customers that use this platform and also use BoA. Strange that they don't seem to get that.

Bank of America App
Hello all,
Try this .....
I think this is what you all are looking for.

This is one of the things i do not get about iphone mostly...they have one bagfrillion apps so that they can do do things that can be done by their browser..and have been since the beggining...is there really a dirrefence if its an app or a bookmark that you tap onto?
how lazy do people have to be ?

the bofa.mobi site never works for me when i use opera 9.7 (hate opera 10). it's just very annoying to have to open pocketIE in order to use bofa.mobi

If you have a cooked rom, you have to do opera:config and put the original user agent for your phone back in. BoA doesn't like generic user agent strings for some reason. Usually a google search will turn up the phone's original UA setting.
Hope this helps.

Bbm for android

Does anyone knows if the famous bbm messenger for blackberry will be on android platforms anytime soon?
If there's a thread on this please feel free to let me know and please be kind enough to provide the link to it, thanks in advance

It has been asked across MANY different message boards... since Android was released. There hasn't been a breakthrough and, from what I've read, there's really no hope.

There were some articles on tech blogs late last year in which RIM were quoted as saying that they wished to bring their services to other platforms.
The rumour is that this means BBM on Android and iOS but so far nothing has materialised.
Whilst I can see why RIM want to embrace other platforms to try and retain some sort of relevancy in a market they're rapidly losing ground in, one wonders whether making BBM available to non-Blackberry users would just further the exodus of paying customers...

wow , looks like you just missed it , there was a buzz last month about it
see for yaself

RIM, mentioned that they're next OS update will allow android market apps to work on blackberrys and they're going to port BBM over to android AND iPhone.

Live Profile works across iOS, BB and Android. Works just like BBM with a pin. Free download from market.
I have my BB buddies on it.

RIM somewhat mention it..
but i dont know what app

i heard rumor, Rim will make it
for Android, iOS, Linux, dunna
its still not released yet,
for now i and most of my friends using whatsApp

Im using Whatsapp atm which is good. Be pretty cool if there was a BBM type app built in to work across brands though. Can't imagine that would do good for BB's sale's though...

BBM is one of the few parts that is holding RIM up. As far as BBM coming out for other platforms, we can only wait to find out.

Whatsappppppppppening, Loooool, that's what I use, its good for what it does but obviously not as good as bbm, but if it did come to Android that would be brill

Bbm for androidArrow
I think you must search in google just put the right keywords otherwise it wan't give you proper results

Here's hoping. BBM is ridiculously popular in my country. I keep trying to tell everyone that MSNM is the same ****ing thing and works across all platforms but they just won't listen.

Without BBM, RIM will only have it's email system going for it.
Sent from my GT-I9000

yea but is there an android app that can text to bbm. not a bbm app for android just one that sends sms to bbm??

What's wrong with texting...
Never live in the past but always learn from it.

For bbm to work on Android or IOS you would need to register your device on their servers and network. And unless RIM release an app that allows us to do that I don't think it will be possible. Or if a developer ports a the Blackberry software onto android devices it might be possible.

c'mon devs!!!!!!!!!!! port bbm to android pleaaaaaaassse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bbm on droid!

[Q] wp7 apps that piss you off

I'll start.
Groupme: This has to be the worst app that has ever been designed for any platform. I understand that it's in preview but i've emailed their support atleast 15 times. Not even one reply. What the hell guys? You guys are owned by Microsoft (skype) for gods sake.
They recently released an update and it doesn't even include a mango update. It just adds live tiles, which don't work. Not even once.
Every time i open the app i get "Push notification ChannelOpenFailed error occurred. This channel does not exist but could not be opened. Try opening the channel again. (-2129589901) 0"
I've reinstalled the app 3 times. I've emailed their support, i've contacted them on twitter. They're just ignoring everything about windows phone. This is unacceptable for a company that is owned by Microsoft.
I know some people are going to say this is just an app and you can use the group feature in mango. No, i can't. This app uses data and it works with smart phones as well as dumb phones (via sms). The group chat feature in mango doesn't allow the other people to respond back and talk to each other. This is key for me. I have a group with some people and we need to be able to communicate with each other.
It's things like this that make me want to drop windows phone.
I love windows phone (you can check my post history) but i am really pissed off now. I'm tired of waiting for things to improve. Mango is excellent but it's 2011 and the platform itself doesn't mean anything. It's all about the 3rd party apps.
I mean, look at whatsapp for android and ios and then check it for windows phone. They say they need more time to develop a decent app. Mango beta has been out for months. What's talking so long? Skype? Words with friends? Where are these apps? Is it lack of motivation cause of the 1% market share?
I am seriously considering android ice cream sandwich if google can get their act together and make android as smooth and reliable as my htc windows phone.

trust me...you will find other things to complain about once you switch. The problem I see alot is that people expected a perfect platform. I got bad news for you...there is no such thing. Not Apple, not Android, not WP.

Dude, I know how you feel.
I will be switching my WP7 in the next months. Unfortunately, it's just not the moment. I dont want iPhone 4S, I want iPhone 5. And Android just sucks.
I have no options at all ;/

Sorry, but i never said i expected a perfect platform and i believe windows phone is still the best operating system for any phone. It's the 3rd party apps that are killing it for me.
Microsoft has literally tried to bribe people to develop for them but there just doesn't seem to any interest in developing quality apps.
The core OS can only take you so far. But for what it's worth, i think wp is better than ios and android. But android seems it's better overall.
If something doesn't work you can customize it and fix it yourself.
I used to put a new energy rom on my windows mobile every time nrg came out with an update, so i have no problems putting in the effort and time it takes to tweak an OS. Unfortunately this isn't the case for 3rd party apps. Which is why android seems like a better choice for me.

This right here proves you're an idiot. You hate the OS and want to switch but will only switch if the OS you're considering switching too can be as good as your current OS. See how stupid that sounds? You come across as one of those miserable people that can have a million positives but one minor negative is the end of the world for you. You will never be happy with an OS.

It makes perfect sense if you read the complete post. I said multiple times that wp as an OS is superior but overall android seems better because of customization and 3rd party apps, but i'll have to see what they do with ice cream sandwich. I wouldn't switch to gingerbread.
What part of that are you having problem comprehending?

so you think all apps on other platforms didn't take months and came out perfect when launch...please.
You should know better you are an early adopter to a brand new platform and it will take yrs to refine the OS...just like android and iphone...who took even much longer to reach the current stage.

Yeah i definitely overestimated the brand name of Microsoft.
The only reason android and apple took so long was because times were different back then. It was a new idea and a new way of things. Now, Microsoft has had time to learn from them and should have played things differently. Mango is how the phone should have been released.
I mean, even now, most apps that come out are released for app store and market. Take any bank, or any commercial app. It's just those 2 platforms. Hell, even my local bar has an android/ios app.
There is no awareness of windows phone. It's a shame because it's such a great operating system and it has the potential to be number one.

Its been almost a year since WP7 came out. This lack of awareness was not their in case of ios and Android phones.. After an year of iPhone we HD basically all big names apps in the market ... Android was slow but at least people were aware of that os... After 1 yr noone knows what WP is.

WP got more competitions at launch than iphone & android. At launch who was iphone competitor? At launch who was Android competitor beside Iphone. With that said...I agreed MS needs to upper WP7 awareness....so far it's almost non-existent.

Haha, didn't take a year for iOS to have an app store?

Because of one apps and you blamed the whole OS.
Let's me ask you a question.
Are there any mobile OS that have better built-in Social Network support like Windows Phone? And how many Facebook users out there?
And return to the question: You know WP7 is a locked OS and you still bought it, and now you scream out loud and say it is stupid because it can't install 3rd Apps? So, look like you aren't a smart buyer.
if you want 3rd Apps so bad, why don't you register for the Developers Account, and get it unlocked so you can install custom .xap?
I know some people are going to say this is just an app and you can use the group feature in mango. No, i can't. This app uses data and it works with smart phones as well as dumb phones (via sms).

after i read this sentence, you are no more than a stupid guy to me.
So, let's me ask you a question, when you send a messege to a group, everyone in the group will receive the same messege. but do they know how many people (which one, what are their numbers...) that you send that messege? And Why do they have to send it back to you and x people in your group?
For an example, you have a group of 15 best friends and you decide to throw a party tonight. You texted the whole group and invite them to the party, some will say "yes", some will say "no", so, why the hell the guy said "yes" even care about the guys said "no"? And is it necessary for him to know about it?
If you want group communicate, i would suggest to visit them instead, or you can do group Skype or simple just create a group chat on PC. Why? Because everytime you send one messege to a group of x people, you have send x messege totally and believe me, if you don't use unlimited plan and you have a long season of group chat on your phone, you will not happy with your phone bill by the end of the month.
If what you said come true, there isn't necessary to have a group chat feature in Skype, Yahoo or Windows Live Messenger, which can be done for free and 100x better on PC.

3rd Apps is the apps that developed by individual or company that is not associated with the OEM, like you can develop almost and .cab by your old Windows Mobile 6.5, and you can do the samething with Dev Unlocked Windows Phone 7.

It's fine to blame the OS. The Developers didn't make the OS have only 1/3rd the API support it needed to support a ton of apps on release.
Microsoft gave them the middle finger and they took it at face value. That's why they're prioritizing WP7 at such a low place right now.
Because iOS/Android sales more phones have more users. It's more advantageous for them to work on Honeycomb/ICS/iOS5 app updates then work on WP7 ports.
People on this forum can yell and scream "we need AppX" all day and all night, but when you get thousands of downloads in the Andorid/iOS App Markets per day and dozens per day in WP7 the choice is clear which one goes on the backburner.
Also, all decent Android phones from Samsung and HTC come with Social Integration. TW4 phones come with Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn integration. Samsung did People Hub before Microsoft decided what to call it. That's nothing to rave about. It's actually kind of embarassing that they tried to market that as some sort of new and innovative feature. We've already gone over this before. Same for groups.
WP7 did do some innovative things with the way it allows you to pin sublets of Apps to the home screen, but a lot of the marketed built-in functionality already existed for years. The main selling point of the OS is the user experience, not the features.

Here's a question... would you purchase a blackberry just to use BBM?
If you did, how many of your friends currently have a blackberry so that BBM actually becomes useful to you.
Yes the service is highly touted but I believe that RIM has realised that they cannot truly expect to hold on to their user base simply by keeping BBM exclusive. A cross platform chat solution is currently lacking, hence the popularity of whatsapp and other apps like it.
If anything I would say they should have done this sooner, however, maybe they were waiting until the released their new OS, with the belief that it does, now, stand a fighting chance when giving people the option of acquiring BBM one iOS, Android or sticking with RIM

And what about whats app usere ehh?

We may be overlooking the fact that BBM was popular *during* the Blackberry era, when RIM was the reigning king of "smartphones". Fast forward several iPhone and Android releases, I am not so sure RIM's heralded messaging app has the same appeal as it once did. Plus, many people have found a home with other apps like Facebook Messenger, Whats App, etc already.
Side note:
Their latest device the Z10 actually looks great and felt pretty snappy when I played with a demo. Like Microsoft, I think they have an opportunity to carve out a niche following.

Yeah!

Well to tell you the truth, users change their favorites every time..!! Remember some years before how people showed their back to orkut? :victory:
And chanced their favorite social networking site to facebook..!!
So it depends on the particular content on what capable it is........if it does make a great impact (BBM) in the android family then people will definitely "MIGRATE" to the BBM.

How BBM for android will work (question)

(mr admin move if thread is in wrong place thanks)
So bbm is going cross platform hurrah since I'm a former 9300 user, I loved bbm.
But how will it work? I know the app is free, but will you have to pay monthly for it or what? Like on BlackBerry you had to pay £5 a month to get bbm, how is it gonna be on android? and I'm on a contract so how will I pay this?

Good questions - but if the app is to be at all successful, it needs wide adoption, so I wouldn't be surprised if its free at least at first.

Useless idea. Genius invention named whatsapp that does it already.

answer to your question is the no it will want to compete with whatsapp, so it will have to be free or near free i.e 0.69p.
if they charged £5 no one would pay for it. i dont see why blackberry messenger and whatsapp dont merge together, but competition is healthy.

If the app is 69p that's fine bit is there going to be a monthly charge for it. That's how it was on BBOS (the app is free, but you have to pay a monthly charge of £5)

Surprised
I'm quite surprised that you had to pay Anything to use BBM...are you sure you weren't just paying your carrier? I had a Bold 9300 for almost 2 years and definitely did not pay a cent to use BBM. After doing some further research, I have not found a single post the suggests that anyone has ever paid for the BBM service.
On another note, I'm really excited to have BBM on my Android! I've come across quite a number of ignorant users in the forums - those who have never used/tried BBM before, and those who just 'stick with what they know' and don't care about anything else. There are quite a few advantages that BBM has over Whatsapp: Here are just a few:
1) Security: All BBM messages are encrypted when sent. Whatsapp messages are sent in plaintext, making them extremely easy to hack
2) Privacy: With BBM, you can choose who you want to add as contacts (through a BB pin system). If you post a status update about your holiday or add a particular profile pic, you don't have to worry about your boss, highschool teacher, or business partner reading/seeing it. With Whatsapp, your entire phonebook immediately sees everything.
3) Stability: With the exception of the once-off server breakdown debacle last year, BBM has always been the most stable messaging platform available. It just works
4) While it still remains to be seen on the Android platform, other tests have consistently shown that BBM is far more power-friendly than the battery-guzzling Whatsapp messaging system. Similar tests have also shown that BBM is far less resource-intensive
Obviously there are more, but these are the main points

You dont need to pay monthly its free to download and use.
The only devices that require that are legacy BB devices.
