I want to say it will support VCast so I have heard. There is a .75 LEAK out, and some BES users have .75. BIS users are still without an official update.

I've heard rumors of vcast on the storm. That might have meant the rhapsody though. I hope we can get vcast or better yet mobitv. Send out emails and let companies know that storm users need these services and apps.

Vcast is available for the storm. Open your browser and type m.vcast.com. That brings up the vcast video site where you can view the vcast video library. The device is not equipped with a media flo radio

No, Storms do not support MobileTV, just the rip off version of Rhapsody known as VCast/Rhapsody. It's pure garbage, they want you to pay a subscription and then charge from .99 to 1.99 for over the air downloads. Really, what is the point of having a Rhapsody to Go subscription if they want to charge for every transfer from PC to Storm. At least with iTunes there's no subscription requirement to buy .99 cent songs!! Verizon is the biggest rip-off when it comes to things like this.

Yes they are charging for transfers to your phone from your PC. It is .99 cents per song via USB or Bluetooth, and $1.99 per song OTA download. Forget Vcast, delete it off your phone too. Biggest rip off ever and the content is an absolute joke. Rhapsody is great (minus Verizon yukk). Stick with the Rhapsody or iTunes, but do not get Vcast anything (big rip off).

Dude stop going around telling these lies. It works as advertised if you pay 14.99 a month you can put
Anything you want from rhapsody on your phone for no extra cost. .99 for ownership or 1.99 for ota ownership. You don't know how to use it is the problem.
