Hi there can sombudy please tell me what I am doing wrong ? I just got myself a brand new blackberry 8520 version 5.0.1 and every time I find a really good program to down load like (scanner radio by gordon edwards) or any casino games like black jack etc it tells me "this application is not available on your device or for your carrier " however it will download other programs like google maps etc
Can sombudy please tell me (a complete blackberry noob )what Im doing wrong
Are they paid apps and are you trying to load through BlackBerry App World? Where are you located. Paid apps are only available in the USA and a few other countries at this time.
Do you meet the country and carrier requirements below for Scanner Radio by Gordon Edwards? What Blackjack game were you trying to download? Where are you located and what carrier are you on?
Supported Countries
Australia
Canada
New Zealand
United States
All carriers except:
Bell Mobility (Canada)
Metro PCS US
Rogers (Canada)
yes these are paid aplications that I am trying to download and I am based in Brisbane Australia so I gues this might be the problem ?
I also realise that this radio scanner is not able to listen to my local police stations here however thought it might be fun listening to other stations
Thank for the help so far and if it is posible please let me know how to download
cheers Marty
App world not supported in your country & mine...thats whyu get these messages..
The OP said they were in Australia and that is a supported country. I suspect it may be more of an issue of the particular phone vs. the app. Not all apps are supported for all phones unfortunately.
almost forgot yes I also tryed to download these in blackberry app world
We really need more details. Go to Options, About, and let us know your OS version please. Then list the exact programs or exact links where they are being downloaded from and we can help verify whether the program is compatible with your BB, your OS.

Reason: mistake
The version im running in my blackberry phone is actually v4.6.1.286 my desk top pc version is 5.0.1 (sorry if i confused any one )
I got the phone from optus and im on a plan
I cant find any thing on os and dont know what that means ?
I managed to get the link (for radio scanner )by emailing the componey themselfs and they ended up posting me a link to download it directly from there site so I now got this program
But yea it sux that in Australia you can only download the crap software that over seas blackberry users dont want id be happy to pay up to $5 for software like the scanner program I got
Its really cool by the way you can listen in to heaps of pre set stations like chicargo police not to many stations for australia except for townsville police station lol still makes interesting listening
Thanks again for all your help guys and if you find out a way to download all the good software from overseas please let me know
heers Marty
well it seems to be working fine on my blackberry also found a site that lets me download payed games here in Australia its called magmic.com
So i gues it is possible when you know where to look
thanks for all your help guys much apreciated
Cheers Marty
