The red headed step child of the Blackberry family
- So lately ive noticed the majority of the newer apps coming out dont include a build for 9670, as a style owner its been very upsetting to see a new app and get excited but when i go to check compatible phones the 9670 is absent from the list but older os5 phones are in the list. So i finally shot an email to a developer asking about any future plans to have the app available for the 9670. The response i got was an apology and the guy said that the style was listed with the os5 phones and that it was a mistake and for me to look for the problem to be fixed very soon,i was also thanked for bringing it to there attention.This got me thinking is the 9670 getting no love from builders because it is wrongly listed with a group of older model Blackberrys? Or have developers just pushed the 9670 to the side and forgot all about it. Blackberry Style...aka The red headed step child of the Blackberry family09-23-11 12:20 PMLike 0
- Am I strange for buying my style for what it is....a great secure communication device and not a media device. If I wanted apps, I would of bought the Android or Iphone.09-23-11 05:51 PMLike 0
- no i don't think your strange at all for that. now ill ask if im crazy for expecting the style to be included in the list of compatible phones with most of the newer apps coming out through appworld? My point is that this phone has more than what it takes inside to support apps but its just getting kicked to the side with developers and as far as it not being a media device ill have to disagree.Surely android and ios are way ahead in the game compared to rim but i like a lot of the apps for BlackBerry phones. i just dont think its cool how the style gets no love from builders. with that being said i was more than excited about buying this phone because of its potential of being more than just a "secure communication device" How did i come to this conclusion? i read this at the time of its release..To coincide with the enhancements to the BlackBerry� Browser in BlackBerry 6 with the inclusion of the new WebKit rendering engine, we are continuing the new User Agent header definitions from the BlackBerry Torch 9800 smartphone to the BlackBerry Style 9670 smartphone. This User Agent definition reflects the type of web content supported by the browser, ensuring that your mobile and desktop websites are providing the best possible content and experience. BlackBerry� 6 on the BlackBerry Style 9670 continues the same great development platform as the BlackBerry� Torch� 9800 smartphone, enabling richer Java� applications, advanced graphical capabilities, and of course, the highly touted web experience with BlackBerry� WebWorks� platform and a browser supporting HTML5 and CSS3. in addition there is nothing secure about your style unless your messaging is going through bes.

- Here's a suggestion:
If there is an app that you loved on another device or is already OS 6 compatible with other devices, email the developer and ask if there is a chance they could add the 9670 to their compatible builds. I've asked and have gotten several devs to update their apps to make them compatible with my Style. Never hurts to ask!BB_Bmore likes this.10-03-11 01:54 PMLike 1 -
- I have found a few apps that worked for the Style that weren't built for the Style by accident via device switch. I'm sure there are many apps that are not "available" for the 9670 that would work fine on it. I just wish appworld didn't restrict your selection depending on the model you have.

The Style works for me. I do use apps (esp Pageonce, Blackberry Travel, Foursquare, Dropbox and Facebook) but the only one I am truly angry about not having is XMSirius. I used that all the time on my Tour and was incensed when they told me they refuse to make a build for OS6. Because of that I've discovered Slacker Radio and am planning to cancel my XMSirius membership, which encompasses 2 radios, the Tour and the online streaming and which I've had for nearly 9 years. Their loss.
