I hope its good news..lol

Doubt it's something to get majorly excited about although I would LOVE to be proven wrong :) (gemini lol)

Hopes they release the mew facebook app soon even though it lacks chat which could be kinda handy at times

Honestly I'm excited. But I should know better not to be excited damnit!

I just like the wallpaper on that BlackBerry in the image above! Looks sweet. Puttin the RIM logo in a circle like this is almost a little CrackBerryish. :)

Re: Announcement. It won't be all good news..or well, at least it won't be received well by everyone. It's going to be interesting to see what the reactions are (both from developers and consumers).

well, let's hope this is good!

Tell us a new Storm OS update is going to be out by the end of the week followed by the App World opening and I'll be excited.

The best announcement would be that they have come to their senses and have decided to DELAY opening this "App World" for a month so they can get saving applications to the SD card (or other internal memory) to work. I have a Storm and don't want people with the iphone to laugh at me, OK?? If they launch this thing and people have to remove apps just to download other apps it is going to be the biggest disaster ever. You just wait and see...

I think RIM should get the Storm optimized with another update instead of focusing on the app store. I'm not adding another app until they get this working better. Love my Storm but it could be so much better if they just took care of the lingering issues.

What we already know. They are going to announce that their is going to be an app store sometime soon. Thats it, they will have no other info other than App World coming March 2009, or maybe April 2009. But since we must know everything as soon as it is put out, we already know this.

It's not even out yet and it's old news.

doubt its something good so lets not get too excited

too many pecimists here

Can't wait

hour and a half!!!

lest hope they announce a release date

they have decided to make the storm os completely from the gound up and it's now touch friendly,consumer friendly, and graphically fun???

anyone anyone??

Thanks Kevin now i have something to stay awake for. Can you imagine the forums after this announcement?

1 more hr, I wonder what it could be

1 more hr, I wonder what it could be

well maybe they could just announce that they've fixed the camera and now when you push the button it takes the picture :)

I'm going to laugh if they're late for this. 51 minutes left.

Jeeeeeezzzz, I wonder what's in store for us now guys!!!!!! I CANNOT WAIT TO FIND OUT WHAT RIM DOES FOR US NOW!

Watch the stuff be posted late. I bet u thats whats going to happen.

I'm not sure what the excitement is about with this app store thingy. If I need an app for something all I have to do is ask right here in the forums and I get not only an answer but usually a link on where to get it. Maybe I will see the benefit once it's up and going.

Some free apps maybe?

Some free apps maybe?

Hopefully they finally fix the problems with the 8350i!

Where the hell is it ... Yo! Devs @ RIM ... Wake up and take that parking page off !! LOL

ITS UP

I guess 10:00pm EST didnt mean eastern time I guess it meant estimated time lmao

If I were working at RIM in charge of this announcment, I would be laughing my ass off at all of us right now! LOL

its 10:07 and im going nuts!!!

This is marketing at it's very finest. Hundreds, nay thousands of eyes looking at their site, all waiting for.....

I know some of you are upset that a paypal account is required for app world

wheres the announcement its 10:10pm EST!!!

a little disappointing.... : (
10:09 and nothing...

I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's up

its up...totally not "exciting" but nice to hear

time 7:10pm still nothing dam you rim lol

thats it announcing what we already knew super exciting

wow, all that for a COMING SOON announcement. lame.

Disappointing. I hate how you have to pay for it too w/ paypal. BOOOOOO.

Sign up for our e-mail list! WOOOO!

Anti-climatic.

WOW

Perhaps

WTF was exciting about that? PayPal required?!

we all knew the app store was coming and there exciting news is the app store is comming, haha

Cool...NOT

That was a stupid announcement!

It looks like the Canadians have been infected by the Americans. Always late to any party (sarcasm)

WOW!!!! I was prepared to be amazed, and by God I was. LOL

i agree LAME...but oh well...still cool

F@#$ It's not compatible with the storm. I just wasted a half hour waiting for this to learn its not compatible with the storm. Thanks RIM!!!!

This is something everyone knew, the least they could have done was announce a solid release date...

what a joke come on

Maybe they over slept?

Ahem, RIM do not make a 10pm announcement claim and then don't show up on time.

Are we there yet? come on RIM lets get a move on

Well, that's no news.......Got to find the positive...maybe it will be soon?

It's up!!!

announcement...? FAIL
what a waste and paypal?
BB needs to get on the ball.

Now time for bed!

this bites!

FOR THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, BB I appreciate all the time you save me, but you just took a good chunk of it back while i was waiting for that "announcement." Yay! I am sure I will be reading about this gem tomorrow. It is going to be the it topic. Umm, seriously, yay!

Whats going on, come on Rim lets get it

Wow, I am totally not excited by that exciting announcement.

They are a little late kinda like the Official OS we all have been waiting for

That was dumb... back to forum stalking. :)

Why all the hype? All they were launching was the "email me when ready" button. We knew what it was called and that it would come eventually. And we knew that we would have to pay for apps (it is a store). Now we know that they will have to be paid for via PayPal (kinda a bummer).

being taking lassons on how to F**** up a product announcemet from Microsoft.

Lame!

RIM just updated tha website about tha apps store announcement, but there wasnt much to it.

It's nothing no big deal, just hype

It's nothing no big deal, just hype

It's nothing no big deal, just hype

plus there site is very slow to register

I'm just amazed at all the excitement....well hope somethin good comes thr...;-)

OMFGZZZZ I NEED PAYPALZZ?!?!?!?!?!!?11/!?!/.1,?.!

grow up people you live in the modern age if you dont have paypal then return your blackberry and get a dumbphone

I was expecting like a date or something.

When is it going to come up???????? I mean, ALL I'M LOOKING AT ARE THE QUESTION MARKS ON THOSE BOXES! lol

The little link at the bottom that says "DOWNLOAD FREE APPS HERE" ?????? Check it out

Maybe they just wanted to see how much traffic would be generated on their website.

That's all we can do...wait

what a waste of time. Looks like Pay Pal is slowly taking over the world

RIM:Be first in line to submit applications you've designed for BlackBerry® smartphones to the new BlackBerry App World™. We're counting down to a spring launch and we're accepting submissions now.

That was a pretty lame "EXCITING" announcement..... Hurry up and wait some more

so the storm isn't even compatable? that's nice.

What an announcement!!! They announced....NOTHING!

an⋅nounce⋅ment   [uh-nouns-muhnt]
–noun
1. public or formal notice announcing something: The announcement appeared in the newspapers.
2. the act of announcing.
3. a short message or commercial, esp. a commercial spoken on radio or television.
4. a card or piece of formal stationery containing a formal declaration of an event, as a wedding.

They forgot option #5 for RIM "Big waste of Crackberriers time!"

I cant believe they are using Paypal for this. It is pissing me off already.

They should have linked it with the carriers instead

Gosh. That was embarassing.

its all hype..good work on getting the crackberry addicts attention, I'm sure it will be storm compatible and will be out probably the latest by end of April. They need to get this out before apple's convention during the summer. If they don't blackberry sales will decline even further.. WE Want free apps

well i guess i won't be purchasing anything from their app store. i refuse to ever have another pay pal account.

Looks to me like it could be the new CDMA Bold? Anyone else think so?

Like most of ya'll have said, this was a complete waste of time seein we already knew this was coming. Me personally, I hope they can throw us a bone on a new device soon. I know they got some sexy stuff cookin up, and damn it i wanna know!!! Its the crack that keeps me comin back ha ha

I hate the fact that you got to have a PayPal account to be able to buy any software. PayPal are the biggest scammers in the world and they always give you the run around and not help you solve any problems, on the contrary, they cause more problems. IF ANYONE AT BLACKBERRY SEES THIS MESSAGE, HAVE ANOTHER CHECKOUT ALTERNATIVE! SCREW PAYPAL.

Asking developers to pay £200 to submit their applications is too much; nobody other than MSN and Facebook will afford to submit free applications, so we can wave goodbye to the hope of great, free games like on the iPhone.

What a let down.

What happened to the app store, IT was suppose to be up at 10 pm on March 4.........
Any ideas ?

im new to this i have a blackberry 7520 converted into a boostberry it works really well just wondering if you all would know of some good apps that would work on my phone like weather, sports, and news apps
