Since JuiceCaster may be new to some of you, let's skip the standard blog-speak and just tell you what JuiceCaster for BlackBerry is all about:
JuiceCaster is an award-winning social media application that enables you to post Blackberry pictures and videos in real time to your favorite websites, your friends, and cool new people you meet within the JuiceCaster mobile community. There are a number of exciting features to JuiceCaster, including:
- Posting Blackberry video and picture updates directly to Facebook and Twitter.
- Broadcasting your own mobile status update, and inviting friends and non-members to "follow" you.
- Creating your own unique custom groups (e.g. Fantasy Football, Family) to send group video and picture messages to mobile phones, email, and online social networks.
- Micro-blogging (video, picture, audio, and text) to your personal blog.
- Searching and viewing videos and pictures right on your Blackberry.
- Connecting with friends in real-time, and interacting with interesting new people you meet within JuiceCaster's mobile community.
And now that you know what JuiceCaster is, you can GO HERE to sign up for the beta and begin rock'n it on your BlackBerry Curve. Let us know how it works!

you are on AT&T or Verizon. Where's the T-Mo love, JuiceCaster? And while I'm (semi-)ranting . . . what is it with text message delivery of apps? I don't have a text message package and don't want to have to pay when they can just as easily e-mail me the link. Give me a choice to have it emailed or give me a link to download directly.
Okay, I'm off my soapbox now. Hope to see this for my 8320 soon.
works good on my 8320 on T-Mobile, only gives options for 8310 and 8330 on the site when you go to sign up. I just chose the 8310 and it installed and worked no problems
I'll give it a try. Thx!
This app is awesome...the UI is nice..updates go through fast...although the information is kinda misleading...it will work on all 83XX devices does not have to be an 8310. nor does it need to be on AT&T or Verizon...any carrier seems to work..very cool app indeed, well worth the price of admission ;)
Alright Bla1ze,
I am going with your comments and going to try this out. Still waiting for the SMS though. Been about 10 minutes, Kinda of slow sending it out :)
Unfortunately this Beta only works on Verizon and AT&T. Guess T-Mo will have to wait.
Kevin, thank you for the post!
Re. the lack of T-Mo luvin' .. we actually have a lot of love for the big T. (http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-9919065-7.html). We don't list it on the beta download site yet because we're still doing internal testing. It will be up very shortly. You can try the work arounds above though - seems to work.
@Bla1ze thanks for the clarification re the 83XX reference. I'll see if it's safe to update that on the dropdown.
Still haven't gotten my SMS message. Is the Beta closed already on this???? :(

beta is still open, not sure why you didn't get it. pls email support at juicecaster dot com and we'll send it to you again
It looks like they're listening to us and they're fast! T-Mobile is up there now!
They also changed it so that it doesn't say 8310 and 8330 anymore.
Anyway, I have the app on my Blackberry Curve now and it's awesome. I spent some time playing with the app today and a few tips.
1) I changed the picture size to small (640x480) and the uploads are lightning fast now. I think 640x480 is fine in terms of quality since it's pretty much all on mobile as well.
2) I also added their app on Facebook called "Mobile Status." You add the app, log into the app, and that links your JuiceCaster account to your Facebook status. Every time I create a JuiceCast and "Update my status", it updates my status on Facebook with my pic...very cool.
3) I also hooked up my twitter account. So now when I create my status updates in JuiceCaster, it updates Facebook and Twitter at the same time! http://juicecaster.com/post.php?twitter_mobile_status has info.
It looks like there's more stuff but I haven't gotten to exploring everything quite yet. But so far this app is a winner (especially for the price...heh).
RVD.
The last thing the world needs is another social networking site to join. Why do I need this app when I have FB for BB already???
I was going to try this app only to find no Sprint in the drop-down list of carriers. What gives?
Hey jbenrn, Sprint version in internal testing. Will be available in public beta in about a week so pls check back then. thks
Has anyone here succesfully downloaded this app?...I have filled out all the info on the sign up page and have submitted it, but I have not gotten any message on my phone with the download link. I have tried already about 4 or 5 times!! Do any of my crackberry brethren know the actual download link or something so I can download the friggin beta already??!!!
Pls drop a note to support at juicecaster dot com and we'll get you up and running with the beta.
I was not able to get the download via my BB Browser, however, when I submitted my info on my PC, I got the SMS very quickly and downloaded the app.
I can't seem to get Juicecaster onto my BB Curve. My service carrier is Alltel, anyone have any suggestions?
Hello Anon, we are working on Alltel Blackberry versions. Stay tuned. Thanks!
I signed up but selected Verizon even though I have Sprint. Will the app work if I install or can I sign up again with the same phone number once the Sprint version is complete?
Yes, it'll work ... when you start the app and it asks for your phone number, enter the number you registered with and it'll recognize your account and ask for password. If you've forgotten your password, you can go to juicecaster.com to retrieve it.
I downloaded the program and it prompt me for my number so I entered it and it gave me an error message "Unexpected Error: Please try again" .
After doing this for approx. 10 min I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it. Still the same msg.
Is anyone else having the same issue?
I have been experiencing the same problem on my 8320, and I have also tried reinstalling as well to no avail.
This is usually related to the app not being able to make a data connection. Please email support at juicecaster dot com with your number and carrier. The carrier is very important when you get this error, because it mostly means there's some kind of restriction being placed on the app's ability to connect. In most cases, there's a solution.
