Phote Viewing Options - BlackBerry 8700c

I have recently discovered two methods for photo viewing on a BlackBerry 8700c

First, The free method, is to open a Flickr account and use Jive Slide to view photos. This appears to work great, my only concern other than privacy would be connectivity issues on either Flicker's side or my cell carrier.
