Originally posted by exstasie The one thing I'm frustrated with my BB is how I can't download certain apps on my Phone! I have a newer model (8520i) however there are a lot of apps that aren't "compatible" with my phone yet, though I guarantee you if I install it they will work without an issue. I just have to find the OTA link that doesn't direct me through BB App World!

on my storm there's an option for compatibility mode...

1)use an OTA downloader (such as this: http://www.blackberrysoftwarelist.n...Downloader.aspx)

2)and then "BB Swiss Army Knife"(http://rimgeeks.com/download.php?f=...7_Installer.msi) to install the .jad or .cod (if there's a .alx, you must use the BB desktop manager)


EDIT: you can still do it OTA if it's a .jad file by accessing the weblink on your phone...ie. do step one to get the .jad weblink, then use http://qrcode.kaywa.com/ to translate that link into a barcode (instead of typing out the damn thing on your BB) and scan it using the scanner in BBM which will then ask you if you want to open the link..on doing so, it will ask you if you want to install it, just say yes then.

I was thinking the same thing too. But I don't want to sign again (really doesn't matter I'll have a phone for the next 10 years or so), and also the new Bold has a smaller screen... and I love surfing on my current Bold. But the camera is kinda shitty (especially in the dark.... which won't really make a difference with the new bold.

I also don't want to pay for a new phone.


I pretty much answered my question.

I plan on buying my first BB soon. I am thinking about either the Storm 2 or the Tour. Any recommendations??? I have read both reviews but just curious on your thoughts.

I'm assuming you're with Telus? I really like the Tour, but then I'm more a funcional person with it, emails, a few apps, moderate browsing, I barely use it for media even. As long as I get my e-mail, use BBIM, MSN and can synch up my work stuff, i'm good.

However, i've had ALOT more phone on the Storm when I had that as my primary device...

You need to outweigh a few things...

Fun vs. Functionality
Size
Touchpad/screen vs. tactile typing on a keyboard

But then, the size of the screen comes into questions...

The advancements they made with 5.0 for the Storm 1 is unreal and amazing!!! Now with adding what they learned from the Storm 1, going to 4 pressure pads instead 1, and 5.0 in the Storm2.. that is flying! More responsive than the iPhone IMO...

yea after using the storm for one day and then upgrading it to the 5.0 itself was like night and day....so smooth


and Jay...I hate they keys on other BBs cos my fingers are so stubby and using the storm , clicking to confirm the selection is so much nicer...i've gotten the hang of the clicking concept now and it's so quick to type...plus yea...browsing on a bigger screen ftw

The Default Mac Address book? lol

Is your phone synced up to outlook or any mail client? That's what I use to for all my adress/contact/calendar management.
