My attempt at a full day of Sametime Mobile work ... errors and usability
Tags :Sametime Sametime Mobile Blackberry
So today I went all day trying to use Sametime Mobile for my normal day to day activities while on the road. This just didn't cut it for a power user that is used to manipulating around the client. This would have been one of those areas that should have been in beta for some testing. I don't know if it was, some let me say that also, it might have been.
1) I had a chat, invited another per the menu item but it opened another chat window instead. Ok, I might have did it wrong, but the way it shows the screens does not make it clear how to select multiple people at once or to add someone correctly to an existing one.
2) Now, the new chat window only had one menu item in it for some reason., the word Close. I took that to be close that chat. No, it closed Sametime Mobile entirely!! I then had to log in again to go the #3
2) Finally figured out how to do group chat. Once the 3rd person joined it threw an error Cannot chat with cn=xxxx/O=Connectria. Error code = -2147475456. Now after clicking the OK button, it took me into the group chat. I think this is a bad closing of the single chat moving it to group mode. The icon changed to a group symbol with my name instead of the normal of whom I was chatting with as an individual.
Of course, I still do not like the blue and black where everyone in the group is blue. Can we get different colors for each person? Now that would be a huge benefit too
