With the NFL season now under way, I thought the following was very appropriate.
It looks like Sprint has released an NFL application for the Berry that might work on other carriers too. I should note however, that a LOT of people have had trouble getting it to work...The download page has links for the 8130, 8330 and 8830 (all on Sprint). So give it a try, but I will not guarantee that it will work for you.
The app is free, so it's at least worth a shot, especially if you're big into the NFL. It gives you up-to-the-minute live scoring and video. You can even use it to listen to the game live.
To give it a whirl, head over to http://softwarestore.sprint.com/wap/NFLmobile.php from your Berry. You can discuss it in the forums here.
P.S. Did anyone watch the Bears hand it to the Colts last night? C'mon Payton... what's up buddy!?

I downloaded this to my Curve 8330 for Verizon Wireless. So far it seems to work well. Even the video clips work.
James Falconer Sep 8, 2008 at 10:25 am
Awesome... glad to hear it works for you!
newsome Sep 8, 2008 at 10:58 am
Same here... Curve 8330 for Verizon and it works well for me too. Got the video, but couldn't get the live gamecasts to work, but I think that's because I was in a weak signal area at the time. The updating scores and video streams worked great though.

They kicked the colts bum!!!! To me the best part was the part the post game interview...when they asked Urlacher about the upset... he looked like he wanted to punch the girl in the boob!!!!
BMF Sep 8, 2008 at 11:05 am
Oh and i downloaded the nfl live. I got sprint and I got the radio streaming to work and the videos. But I dont see my self using it to much. Cuz im either watching the games or at Soldier Field at the game... But it is a pretty good app... just not for me.
cam011182 Sep 8, 2008 at 11:26 am

ItalianBoy228 Sep 8, 2008 at 12:01 pm
Is there another link to d/l this, it sent me to the pocket express download page?
cam011182 Sep 8, 2008 at 12:07 pm
This happened to me also. I had to copy the link and paste it to myself in an email and then i was able to download it
DaRizz Sep 8, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Downloaded for my Curve 8330 on VZW. Seems to work just fine
Anonymous Dec 19, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Can you send me the link you used to download NFL mobile?
cuban_dudeca Sep 8, 2008 at 12:46 pm
I downloaded this on my Tmo 8120 and it works great. Just used the 8130 download link.
As for the game yes I did watch it and was very suprised at how they played. I guess it was granted since this was Mannings first game of the season with no pre-seasons under his bealt. I had Matt Forte (Rookie RB) for the bears which got me huge points in Fantasy. so that was good.
David B Sep 8, 2008 at 12:50 pm
It is working so far on my 4.2.2 OS Verizon 8830. I plan to upgrade to 4.5.0.77 this afternoon so I'll see if it still works after that by trying it out during MNF tonight.
MSA6974 Sep 26, 2008 at 12:47 pm
Hi,
I just got the 8830 World Edition just so that I can use the NFL Live. Everything else works but the Video & Audio portion. I keep getting this error message that the device is not compatible. Can you tell me if you're able to see the video and get the audio. Maybe I just have the settings all wrong. Thanks for your attention in this matter.
Best Regards,
Sue
zog Sep 8, 2008 at 12:58 pm

salscott Sep 10, 2008 at 5:23 pm
No, unfortunately we are hosed.....but we are all over the CFL with Viigo. Damn
Grafixx01#AC Sep 8, 2008 at 1:04 pm
Geez, I'm starting to get mad! I've been trying all morning to get the software and all I'm getting is "server error" or "server busy" messages! You CAN'T do this to me! I NEED MY NFL!
jlucius Sep 8, 2008 at 1:13 pm
The Bears defense is whats up! They were dominating the line of scrimage.
sdh Sep 8, 2008 at 1:43 pm
did anybody get the NFL app to work with U.S. cellular? I have the 8130 pearl.
Xopher Sep 8, 2008 at 8:45 pm
I got it to work on my 8830WE on US Cellular. It took a couple time to get the software to load everything, but once it was set up, it has worked so far. It is slow-loading, though, and I have had some connection timeouts, but once the main screen loads, it seems to do fine. It does load faster after a reboot.
I get a message that audio & video aren't supported on my 8830, but other than that, it works.
buzzdar Sep 8, 2008 at 1:46 pm
This also work on verizon wireless 8330
mush10 Sep 8, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Got it working. If it does not work the first time. Delete the app from the app list and reinstall.
zog Sep 8, 2008 at 3:14 pm

thelazyone Sep 8, 2008 at 3:31 pm
I downloaded this app Saturday and was able to listen to the Pats game live. Well worth it for those like me without the sunday package.
dsapp Sep 8, 2008 at 3:38 pm
TMO 8820 - Downloaded 8830 software - no problem. Running application says Connection Lost!
Thoughts?
berrymuch Sep 8, 2008 at 3:47 pm
The Sprint NFL Mobile live feed is working on my VZW Pearl!!!!WOW! I'm just afraid VZW will get wind of this and lock all of us VZW BlackBerries out.
DravenX Sep 8, 2008 at 3:51 pm
I have tried it on my 8130 with Verizon and the videos and game day radio is not working so far. Maybe I'm not doing it right but I'll keep trying.
Anonymous Sep 8, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Works on 8830 however, the audio and video is not supported on my device? I wonder if its because I'm using OS 4.5? Any ideas?
Anonymous Sep 8, 2008 at 5:46 pm
I have an 8830 with 4.5 and I've got all the audio and video working on it.
Anonymous Sep 8, 2008 at 7:24 pm
Is yours a Sprint or VZW? I can use many of the options but it keeps telling me my device is not supported. Could it be a setting somewhere.
bexx Sep 8, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Go Bears!!! I hope this works on 8310 on ATT, my fingers are crossed!
zeken Sep 8, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Anyone try it for Rogers in Canada yet ?
matt.weum Sep 8, 2008 at 5:08 pm
Works on T-Mobile USA 8320
joseatnj Sep 8, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Matt
Do you have 4.5
dlovell3 Sep 8, 2008 at 5:08 pm
I downloaded it on my VZW 8830 and i don't get the video it says its not supported, I have v4.2.2.196 do I need to upgrade my version or what, I could really use some help here.
joseatnj Sep 8, 2008 at 5:15 pm
I have 4.5 also i wonder if that has something to do with it???
raymond Sep 8, 2008 at 5:24 pm
8310. Can't get it to work. so sad.
go bears
Marcjcd Sep 8, 2008 at 5:51 pm
Someone here said its working on Bold but when your given the option Blackberry 9000 is not available as a download... what version did you download to get it to work on Bold?
faibs Sep 8, 2008 at 7:49 pm
I downloaded it for 8830 and it worked no problem
dphins82 Sep 8, 2008 at 5:59 pm
I downloaded to my 8330 for VZW and it works. However, I don't know if it is because it was made for Sprint but it runs kind of slow.
Grafixx01#AC Sep 8, 2008 at 6:12 pm
Finally got it working on my VZW8830. A little sluggish and lagging, but that's alright cause now I have my EAGLES and I can see what's what!?!
GODCORE Sep 8, 2008 at 8:23 pm
I have a T-Mobile 8320 CURVE and cant get it to work! I just keep getting the connection error after i see the NFL logo with the black background, any suggestions???
BabiCakes Sep 8, 2008 at 9:12 pm
Okay after all day fooling with this thing I finally got it to work on wifi....and only wifi....
any suggestions on how to get it to work off wifi??
khan_z Sep 8, 2008 at 9:14 pm
Worked just fine on my 8330 with Bell north of the border.
jforce Sep 8, 2008 at 10:26 pm
This app works sometimes on my 8100 Pearl on the Rogers network. It usually has problems connecting, but when it does its a super cool app. Its not just a link to a mobile site which is a welcome change from ESPN and SI.
Thanks for the heads up!
vdastoli1 Sep 8, 2008 at 10:57 pm
I have had nfl mobile on previous mint phones, unfortunately non-BB, but app works fine on my new pearl.
now i just need my fantasy team to perform as well as my pearl and i'll be all set.
Borrowed_Thunder Sep 9, 2008 at 8:59 am
I've been trying for the past 2 days, and now the page doesn't exist? Anyone alse having this?
mharvey1 Sep 17, 2008 at 2:58 pm
That happened to me, but then i retyped the link again exactly the same way i did the first time and it worked perfectly. so many try the link a few times
Anonymous Sep 9, 2008 at 9:27 pm
I could not get the link to work so I sent the texted NFL to 7777 on my sprint phone and it sent me the link below. This link worked for me on my BB Curve on Sprint.

philven Sep 9, 2008 at 11:30 pm
I just downloaded NFL Mobile from Sprint and it works on my Curve. It's slow and gives me a message saying it is using the low band network, but it works. I just wish they would optimize it for the EVDO network to take advantage of the speed.
sloken Sep 15, 2008 at 1:08 am
I get nothing, just sits there... Any ideas? I've tried removing and adding it a couple times...
chrishc Sep 17, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Hey guys, haven't downloaded it yet because I didn't want to mess up my phone. Has anyone been using it? And is it worth it? Thanks!
CansFan Sep 17, 2008 at 9:38 pm
Downloaded on my T-Mo Curve. Worked ok on UMA so far but I can't see videos, it says "streaming error".
Dave in KC Sep 21, 2008 at 1:25 pm
NFL works great on my 8330. I loved listening to the Pats beat the Jets last Sunday. My only problem--it is very loud and I can only seem to listen to it on speaker phone. Anyone know how to lower the volume on speaker phone and listen to the games only via the headphones? The 8330 volume controls will not respond, and when I plug in my headphones it still blares out over the speaker phone.
tj_elward Oct 30, 2008 at 4:39 pm
thats weird because i use the aux port in my car to listen to it over the car speakers when i plug it into the headphone jack

Oct 26, 2008 at 1:43 pm
After messing around with it for a while, I found you can change the volume by highlighting the radio section you're listening to (you'll see a play or pause symbol). Press the alt key, then * to reduce volume and # to increase it. I was thankful to figure this out after nearly a month of putting the phone under pillows!
MSA6974 Sep 26, 2008 at 11:26 am
Everything else seems to work but the Video & Audio. I'm running the 4.2 software. Anyone with the 8830 get the Video & Audio portion to work? If so, please advise as to the software version you are using and if I need to change a setting. Thanks in advance.
Anonymous Oct 26, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Anyone else having trouble changing the volume? It's really loud on my Curve. Is there any way to change the volume in NFL Mobile? I don't have any trouble changing the volume other times.
steelerfan1979 Mar 27, 2009 at 12:37 am
I have t-mobile and downloaded this app on my 8320. It doesn't work and now I can't seem to delete it. It is not an option on the BB and it will not allow me to remove it on the desktop manager. Any help would be appreciated. Please PM me if you can help.
steelerfan1979 Mar 27, 2009 at 12:46 am
I found it and deleted from my settings screen. Sorry but I'm new to the BB.
