As reviews go, this is going to be a really short one. While using the built in Blackberry browser to go to Yahoo, it detected my device, and asked me if I wanted to download this dedicated application. Thinking that I may as well give it a try, I downloaded it, and set it up. Clicking on it, the first screen asks for my user name and password. Easy enough you’d think, right? Wrong. While there’s no problem entering my user name, my password has a couple of special characters in it, as is recommended by most places that require a password i.e. erm… Yahoo!. So, I moved to the password field and hit the Symbol button on the Blackberry… this created a character in the password field rather than opening up the symbol option page as usually happens. Hmm, maybe if I hit the symbol button, then the appropriate key for the symbol that I use in my password, it’ll work?

Nope

So much for that. I have no desire to go and change my password in Yahoo, Trillian, and in the mail setup for my Blackberry, just so I can use this application, so this review has to stop right here, at the first hurdle. Not a good job there Yahoo!
