Goal! Capture FIFA fever with the ScoreMobile world football bundle
You better have June 11th marked in your BlackBerry calendar; it’s marks the start of the FIFA 2010 World Cup! Last week, Bla1ze let us know about the free World Cup 2010 app that was made available and here’s another option for you to get your head in the game. The Score (behind the widely popular ScoreMobile application) and theme crazy Motek Americas Inc, have joined forces to present an impressive FIFA bundle; The Score Mobile World Football Theme and ScoreMobile FC application. The hidden dock theme allows FIFA and other leagues news to be streamed directly to you. Other theme features include:
- Soccer balls on top left and right increase and decrease based on strength of battery and wireless signal
- Red Card icon for new message alerts
- Rotating soccer ball hourglass icon
- Additional options to customize your Country with wallpapers for all 32 World Cup teams!
Additionally, ScoreMobile FC app lets you check out stats, scores, video commentary and more.

What a bummer! Went to app world and it told me not available for my device or carrier...AT&T BOLD 9000

I was able to install it on my Bold running os 5.0 on Rogers.

I got it a couple of days ago when Blackberry posted it on Twitter. I had to go to the dev's site from my BB because it was saying that my device (8530) was unsupported in App World.
I don't know if the way I got it is still available, but check the thread and try what I did. It may work for you.

Just downloaded it for the storm from app world and it works so try again if anybody is having trouble!

Thanks decypher44 - I was able to go to the dev site and gett the email sent to me that said it was the link for the app and the theme - it installed the app but not the theme?
decypher44 Jun 10, 2010 at 11:11 am
This is how it worked for me:
After it installed the app, the theme notification thingee popped up and asked me if I wanted to activate it. It was a one-download, two-step approval and done.

I am getting notifications regarding upcoming games. these are not treated as SMS, right?
it did screw up my apps and scattered them all over the place.
otherwise it looks very cool :)

This is what i don't like about the app. Even if you delete them they will reappear after a restart of the device. Plus this app is a big battery drain even when you have it closed (i guess due to the notifications??)

How do we change the wallpaper to one of the 32 teams it says it has?

Just go to AppWorld and search ScoreMobile. The original AND the FC flavor will show in results.

when i load it up it says "no data available" and when i try to go to the settings to change my connection method it wouldn't even open the settings. none of the options seem to work including the quit option, and pressing the return key won't do anything either, only way to quit the app is with the "hang up" button. its as if the app just becomes unresponsive, did a battery pull and retried to get it working but nothing seems to work. any one else having this problem? its not really a huge deal because i have the source mobile app anyways, just kind of a piss off...

im not able to download this via BB App world, is there any other link ?
mckillio Jun 11, 2010 at 9:23 am
I love this app but I hate these updates and how do we get the different country backgrounds?

Chris from Score Media here.
We are working on getting an OTA up in the next couple days.
As far as the app scattering, I will mention that to our dev team and see what they can do for you all.
As well, please remember that you can still follow the World Cup on ScoreMobile, as well.
Anything else, please e-mail me or my colleague Adam at mobilesupport@thescore.com

If you need an OTA link, here it is.

How do I completely remove this application, the skin, and the navigational changes? It took over the entire phone and changed literally everything.
chrisatthescore Jun 30, 2010 at 2:43 pm
That probably has to do with the theme and not the app itself. Try changing the theme back to whatever you had before and that should sort out the rest of your issues.
