I cannot get this to work. I enter the following:
Title: Test
Site: http://www.google.com/
Icon: http://www.berryreview.com/br.png

When I attempt to save Shortcut #1, I get the following error message: “Please enter a valid URL for Shortcut 1″.

I am using a Verizon Curve. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what I am doing wrong?

It’s an ok product, but could be better. Icon support is pretty weak, and to explain all possible problems as URL problems is just bad. The reality is that this product needs very specific Icons and most users just aren’t going to have the skills or tools to produce those. Also, why can’t it use local icons… why does it have to always fetch remote icons? Finally, lack of https:// support is just plain lame.

Did you use the http:// heading in the beginning of the URL? I realized you need to use the full headers to get the custom URL’s.
For example:

I have double- and triple-checked the url and the images, but I cannot get this thing to download ANY custom icons. Hints?
