Good news I guess is Niagra isn't too far off. I'm waiting for it too to replace this 8830. I guess RIM wants developers to not have to support the old trackwheel hardware. There are plenty of other app stores you can shop for your 8703e though, try the new crackberry on device app store. That sucks Gil. Good news I guess is Niagra isn’t too far off.

You can get it here: http://vzw.smithmicro.com/blackberry/download.aspx?ct=personal @Gil,

I believe that was what it said. Ronen, you should update the main post to say that OS 4.2 is required. I believe that was what it said.

There's like already 3 fart apps for $2.99 each. At 0945 EDT as I'm writing this: Entertainment 19 <---- fart apps here Games 116 Maps & Nav 4 Music & Video 9 News & Weather 17 Personal Finance & Banking 10 Personal Health & Wellness 9 Productivity & Utilities 99 Professsional & Business 12 Reference & eBooks 37 Social Networiking & Sharing 16 Sports & Recreation 35 Travel 7 390 is a good start. What has disappointed ME the most so far in browsing around is the high number of "apps" that are really only URL shortcut icons. IMHO RIM should banish these to either their own separate category or completely off the "World" at all. “It does not have that many applications”

PayPal as the only way to pay? Seriously? PayPal sucks so bad. What a horrible choice RIM 2. $2.99 starting price (when the app's not free)? Not to sound cheap, but that's a ripoff. 3. Now way to only view free apps? What a pain. I know at least 1 & 2 aren't new news to us, but still upsetting to see that it's true.

2. $2.99 starting price (when the app’s not free)? Not to sound cheap, but that’s a ripoff.

3. Now way to only view free apps? What a pain.

I know at least 1 & 2 aren’t new news to us, but still upsetting to see that it’s true.

The stupid decisions by RIM continue to amaze me. If they didn't have a decent core product they would have gone belly up years ago. They just seem to like living on a knife edge...
