As far as Movie listings I found the section in Poynt to be first class, it even will show you trailers of the movies you select.

Any links?

Some remarks about VR+ application. It costs 19.99 USD but you can also use it in a lite mode for free.
So please insert the application both at free and payed categories.

Lite mode will let you keep using VR+ for free after the trial period is expired, but with few functional limitations:

* A text tag is inserted in the recording comments and message;
* A sound tag is inserted in every recording;
* You can’t change an existing recording (insert/overwrite/continue).

If you do not want to have these limitations get full VR+.

While I agree Vlingo works great on the Storm and I really wanted to love this app ... I just didn't use it as often as I thought I would and so the learning curve was a constant struggle ... the voice-recognition is top-notch, the best I've seen ... but I could never remember what to say to get to the right app ... probably just me ... it ended up just being a slower replacement for Voice-dialing for me and I just didn't use it often enough to take advantage of all the features I guess ... text-to-speech is supposed to speed things up, but when I had to keep opening the Help file to figure out what to say and when to say it, well, it was just a nuisance ... and a slow one at that ... app deleted ....

Your mileage may vary ...

how often do you update this page? looks like the last time for a real app was 1 1/2 months ago... any updates soon?

Do not PM (PRIVATE MESSAGE) or BBM (BLACKBERRY MESSAGE) me links to apps or suggestions. I do not and will not answer to these. I had to make this the first line of this thread because it seems that I am getting way too many PM's. IF you have an app to post please post it in the thread for everyone to see, it is not a private matter for you to tell me discretely. If you need help, the crackberry community is very helpful, just ask a question and I’m sure your answer will get answered within the hour, unless its in the wee hours of the night.


SUBMITTING APPS:
I am no longer updating this thread. Please submit an app via StormOTA.com and click submit app on the left hand side. This thread was a bit too difficult to update and maintain. Thank you!

HOW TO DOWNLOAD:
Visit this Thread or Stormota.com from your Blackberry Storm browser and click on each app that you would like to install. These are OTA (Over The Air) apps so you can not use a desktop to install them. It may be helpful to email yourself the link or just download the StormOTA Launcher and bookmark the link. I do not offer technical support with apps, Please contact the developer for this. If you like an app please donate to the developer.

Make sure that your browser is set to blackberry. To do this from the home screen Click Browser-->Menu Key-->Options-->Browser Configuration-->Browser Identification = "Blackberry"

The bottom Section for incompatible apps you can try to disable compatibility mode. To do so after installation Go to Options-->Advanced Options--> Applications-->Highlight (Don't click) the app--> Menu Key--> Disable Compatibility Mode

i have a huge problem, when i open this on my storm NONE of the links show up???? why is this????

[ajohnson30]

I just ran across microsky. It still isn't quite right but seems to work better than starry night. You have to register on their website for free and the app uses http to their server to get it's info. If you want to try it out, use your desktop to go to MicroSky and register, then follow either v3 link and look for a blackberry smartphone link. You can either do that last part with your desktop & get the alx & cod file, or use your BB and get the .jad directly

[poda521]

dude, update this page with the new apps. I don't go on crackberry everyday nor do I want to wait for the App World to load all the bullcrap. Its been over a month.

[ylexot]

Actually, what he should do is delete everything off of the first post and just point to the website.
StormOTA

[storm agape]
