I just got an email from BPlay and it states at the bottom of the message that they now take payments thru Blackberry Wallet. Someone must have read your rant!

Happy Berrying!

That’s cool Ronen. Wasn’t raggin’ you bud. HOWEVER, if the big ‘berry sites supported it (here, crack, etc) a user base would form. Vendors don’t want to implement a payment method if there are no customers that would use it! I’m with you, RIM should support it on their own site first, and then help the evangelists sites set it up, and then it could grow outside of just BB sites.

Just got an email from bplay. At the end of it was this: BLACKBERRY WALLET PAYMENT NOW AVAILABLE AT BPLAY
We are pleased to announce that Bplay now offers payment via the BlackBerry Wallet, a product recently launched by RIM. The Wallet allows you to quickly pay for Bplay products using pre-entered account and credit card information, making your purchasing experience a breeze. If you don’t already have the Wallet, click here to download.

I think you were a day too early with the rant! Lol

Keep up the good work though!

David I have been trying to speak to the store people to support it but its not easy. Most companies do not want to be the first to implement an unproven technology let alone support it. Especially since rim seems to have forgotten about it. Just a stupid one off…that had so much potential!

“I have yet to hear of one company or website that supports this application!”
Is BerryReview Store going to support it?
