Default Which Weather Apps?

I'm looking for opinions on the best free weather applications for any BB 8700 or above. Any opinions, critiques, and download locations would be appreciated. Thanks.

BB Weather says "Error: Something about not having a profile." then continues to lock up my device requiring a battery pull.

Any ideas?

Follow these steps EXACTLY and your device shouldn't lock up:

1 - Click on the new BBWeather icon.

2 - Since no locations are set up yet, you'll receive an error that there are no profiles set up, just click OK with the trackball.

3 - Press the trackball (NOT the Menu button) and click Options.

4 - Press the Menu key and click Add.

5 - For all US locations, use the zip code for the Location. Use this for zip codes you don't know, or for non-US zip codes:

ASP.NET Resources - Determine location ID for the weather server control

6 - Enter a description name (i.e., LA, Orlando, New York).

7 - You can keep the Forecast Days at 5, or increase it up to 10 days.

8 - If you would like the temp displayed in Fahrenheit, leave the Units as 'Standard'. For Celsius, change it to 'Metric'.

9 - Click OK to save.

Press the Menu button and Close/Save to back out.

Go in BBWeather, then into Options. Uncheck the MDS Proxy setting and you should be good to go.

Aha....good. I don't have my BB in front of me *GASP*, but I knew it was something with that setting ;-)

Glad it's working.

It's all the way in the other room and I don't feel like getting up.

And Ferris Beuller is on TV -the part where he's singing 'Twist & Shout' during the parade. Can't miss that.

I'll have to give BB Weather a shot, but Office Space beats out Ferris hands down.
