Sergey dropped me a note to let me know that he has updated Fancy Characters for the Tour. He discovered that the Tour has a richer set of preinstalled fonts than some other devices, so has adjusted the app with some additonal characters. You can really have some fun with this app as is has a wide variety of unicode characters to mess around with. Fancy Characters is available for all devices and a three day free trial is available. You can purchase the full version for only $0.99 in the CrackBerry App Store.

Fancy Characters for BlackBerry Tour Updated
Sweet...and I won this just recently in a CB contest. This Rocks!
will this app allow me to triforce on my blackberry?
I have "Fancy Characters" ver. 1.2 but I only have 4 categories of characters; I dont have the "starred" tab, as shown on the CB home page. Any thoughts?
I d/l the trial version and tried to add a Fancy Char to an SMS Text and was unable to do so. I see that Twitter (at least Ubertwitter) has it's own set of characters. Is the trialversion limited? What Apps does this work with - FB & BBM?
Need a little help. I'm running Sprint Tour OS .142
**Just read a customer's comments that it is not formatted for CDMA/SMS Text - i.e. Sprint users. If purchased, only applicable to emails.
Will work in BBM also...
I have a Tour, and 1.2, and it looks the same.
I even tried to redownload it, and it was still 1.2. I tried to download it again, overwrote the old version, but it still looked the same.
Hi guys,
please reply more if you see a new tab with Tour specific characters or not?
I have no Tour currently, so i did all tests on simulator.
Current Tour specific check is (OS version starts with '4.7.1'). Perhaps some of you have 5.0 betas on your devices? please let me know the version of devices that you experience issues on.

I'm on 4.7.1.40
Before buying this app, I encourage everyone (except maybe Tour users?) to read this small thread: http://forums.crackberry.com/f35/fancy-character-app-not-working-306045/
I have the standard Verizon OS version 4.7.1.40 and just downloaded and paid for Fancy Characters today. I'm using version 1.2 and I only see 5 tabs at the top. However, the fifth tab shows a white square and all the characters underneath except for 3 are all white squares (23 character spaces). I'd be happy to test for you if you'd like to contact me. Also, I've done 2 battery pulls and tried reinstalling the app 3 times to no avail.
I dl Fancy Char and still is the same as the first one. No change. Running on Telus Os 4.7.1.40 It doesnt look like the picture above.
That's my theme you're using! :)
