Sweet news!

 
 
Posted by DominatE Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

will work in Russia. Nowadays in Russia we can't buy applications from App World.

 
 
Posted by jlawler4 Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

In Soviet Russia applications buy you!

I wonder if they ever get tired of that?

For FINALLY focusing on something that needed to be improved. let's hope there are performance upgrades in there as well!

 
 
Posted by JasW Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

Yeah, such as the fact that it leaks like a week-old diaper.

I hoe this upgrade makes it at least as good as Crackberry/Mobihand's AppWorld. I usually try to make my purchases via Crackberry/Mobihand because it is simpler to get new registration codes when I upgrade my phone.

This sounds exciting. Let's hope it does everything needed. The carrying your world sound nice. Hopefully this means when I restore my device it won't kill me getting all the apps back.

 
 
Posted by jlb21 Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

Of course, this only simplifies apps purchased from app world. You will still have a few extra legs for anything DLed OTA.......But no biggie.

This is the blog post that will get no negative comments. You've done it!

Possibly but the day isn't over just yet ;)

This blog post sucks! Negative negative negative negative.....

Just wanted to keep your streak going of always getting a negative post :)

Impossible. Someone ALWAYS complains lol

Carrier billing? Ew... I could see that getting waaaay too out of hand. I totally prefer PayPal since it comes right out of my account. Good thing they let us keep using PayPal.

 
 
Posted by diegonei Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

Will they drop the BS of not letting you use Paypal because of the country you are? Really, I've been using Paypal for years, long before they came to Brasil.

If I got Paypal, if I have the money, why couldn't I use it?

 
 
Posted by RJSH_1727 Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

Yea, I totally agree! I'd prefer using PayPal than having that added to my bill!:) But it's nice to have that option though!

 
 
Posted by Ebscer Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

PayPal will still be available (at least in the countries that it currently is in). Using PayPal may also help more of your money go straight to the developers as opposed to the other options (although this is not 100% clear)...

Hoping Vodacom South Africa will be included in the list of carriers Blackberry App will support. At the moment only free apps can be downloaded in South Africa.

 
 
Posted by 07thking Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

Sounds promising

 
 
Posted by jeffmeden Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

Any word on if they took the time to cut the fat out of the app? For what is a glorified RSS reader and software list manager, App World is without a doubt the worst functioning thing on my Blackberry.

 
 
Posted by NoKittyNo Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

Lol, jk.

 
 
Posted by codemaker Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

With the improvements listed here, bb6, and the bb beta zone, it looks like rim might be picking up steam on the software side. I hope I am right.

Your phone bills will now fluctuate like a rubber band.

The name "App World 2.0" inadvertently reminds me of Bieber's "My World 2.0"

 
 
Posted by Propa Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

GRAND!

 
 
Posted by shacknews Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

Finally about time.

 
 
Posted by Irving94 Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

This sounds great! But maybe they can also fix the bugs in the app itself like the dragging background?

 
 
Posted by laliux Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

This service will be offered for all carriers and all countries?

When is "very soon"? august? november? december?

 
 
Posted by dhcalva Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

I just hope that we have a choice when buying an app, paypal or carrier billing and not just forcing us to use carrier billing.

Some of us have our BBs on work plans and shouldn't bill apps to the carrier phone bill but can buy them with paypal.

 
 
Posted by sweetlittlehugs Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

Agreed, carrier billing option is nice but Id prefer to use paypal most of the time.

 
 
Posted by Ebscer Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

Will probably depend on where you live, but most people will have a choice between paypal, credit card, and carrier billing...

 
 
Posted by gp48 Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

Hopefully it's the beginning of some continued great news from RIMM this summer!

 
 
Posted by Spiral_ouT Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

Maybe with this update it will be possible for me to use App world again.. Dang disappearing icon.

 
 
Posted by mrdimpy Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

Good point mine along with many others has gone.
It sucks.
Come on RIM hurry up.

 
 
Posted by TheOne01 Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

All well and good, but the apps still suck!

 
 
Posted by joshua.worth Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

I'm mean what in the **** is taking so long for you to make improvements to your software?

 
 
Posted by CamasStorm Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

I just hope there are no mem leaks in this version.

 
 
Posted by birdman_36 Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

Now all we need is Facebook 2.0

 
 
Posted by decypher44 Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

"RIM has events scheduled around the App World for tonight and tomorrow, so the official word could come as early as this afternoon."

 
 
Posted by the brother Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

from PhoneScoop's article: "The "My World" part of Apps World will contain more information about the user's apps, including where they are stored (device memory or storage card)" Micro SD as an option? SINCE WHEN! did they listen to us? What about the stuff stated by the security dude Kevin interviewed @ WES??!!?

 
 
Posted by decypher44 Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

AFAIK, it's device memory ONLY for apps. Would love for that to change, though. Maybe OS6? Maybe RIM is prepping add-on apps to be compatibe with the new OS?

Actually - and this is me dreaming - maybe RIM is going to let BBs store apps on SD in OS6 to free up device memory to allow slightly older phones to upgrade to OS6.

 
 
Posted by alpinechem Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

where is the APP ? why they still have the old version on their website? i am really piss with RIM now, they have their heads so far up the ass, not moving fast enough..... But i still love Blackberry

 
 
Posted by wicked_cateyes Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

Thats awesome. Can't wait til we see this come out and use it. It will bring alot more ppl into buying the apps they really want.

 
 
Posted by ispeakmath Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

Appworld is the reason why I'm leaving BlackBerry. For over two months, and many phone calls to Verizon, RIM, and PayPal, I am unable to login and purchase apps. Even after the hours of tech phone calls, they were unable to fix it and told me I'd have to wait for the next update. Well, the last one didn't work, and their customer service has left me shopping for a droid.

 
 
Posted by Vinnyjr Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

That same problem has had many blackberry customers hunt for their Android phone. I know of at least 8 blackberry 9700 owners that switched to Android and they say they will never look back. I bought a Nexus One but will never give up my blackberry. The E-Mail and messaging ability is just so easy. It works like no other device, I need that for my business to operate.

 
 
Posted by jcc92 Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

hope this will work not than the last buged update that don not let apear the icon on bb 9700

 
 
Posted by shalagin Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

Still not great.
mem leaks
constant lag inside BB AppWorld...

its a decent start I guess

 
 
Posted by sf18443 Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

How can we critique appworld 2.0? It isn't out yet.

 
 
Posted by wazzupfu Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

Will this be on all OS's or at least 4.6 and up?

 
 
Posted by Jude526 Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

this is awesome news will make life easier on the BB

 
 
Posted by Vermell1 Thursday, Jun 17, 2010 707 days ago

Finally.

oh where oh where could my app world be??????????????

 
 
Posted by KCW Monday, Jun 21, 2010 703 days ago

I wonder if they will have the "Search" feature working with this release. Every single time I try to search for something on that App, it finds nothing. Arghh!
