The install completes and the BB reboots, but this error comes up immediately upon starting the app. I'm using a BB 8120 and I've tried downloading from both appworld and dictionary.com.

I would download the dictionary if it stored definitions locally (on the removable card), and it had the ability to select text in any other app to look it up.
