Default Home Screen photo on the 9630

Can anyone tell me the name of the bridge or where it is, on the home screen of the 9630; the one taken at night with the colored lights on the water. I love that photo.

dollface, you are right. That is stunning, but I can't find a match, but I also don't have 6-7 hours to spare, much as I would like to. I enjoy looking at bridge structures for the beauty and the engineering marvels they can be.

Hard to tell if the photo RIM used is a straight shot of a bridge or possibly stretched or manipulated.

I think we may have to wait to see if they name it.

This one is similar, but probably not the same:
Gayang Bridge across Han River in Seoul

thanks Steve, that is great bridge shot you attached. If we even knew where the bridge was, I could probably find a similar shot. I love the arc of that bridge and it is much lower than a true arched bridge. Anyway, I moved on and found a few nice beach shots, for the summer at least.

Ha! I can always count on you for a morning laugh Steve. I'll hang around on the bridge with you and HOPE that RIM spills the beans on where that bridge is or some can hack the photo I don't know too many bridge freaks anyway. Have a great weekend

Both are very nice, but I think I prefert the top one. There are literally hundreds of fog-shrouded pics of the Golden Gate, but that one has very nice lighting and coloration.

Excellent!

And thanks....

IDK steve. I think I prefer the bottom one. The top one looks nice, but it looks like one of those books that starts out with someone being pushed into the bay. The bottom one looks like someone is about to get a ring.

Ha! precisely why I have both stored on my phone, so I can switch photos to match my mood - somedays romantic, somedays murderous
