    I am considering upgrading from my Curve 8530 to the Torch 9850, but in doing so am jumping from OS 5 to 7 and am concerned about app compatibility for the multitude of apps I find myself attached to. is there anyplace to go to verify that apps I use in OS 5 have equivalent OS 7 versions available? It may not be worth my while to upgrade if all the apps I use and enjoy today are not available or functional with the new device. For now, the ones I'm most attached to include:

    google voice
    ubersocial
    youmail visual voicemail
    directv app
    slacker radio
    iheartradio
    nobex radio
    tether
    starbucks card mobile

    Ideally it would be nice to have one central place to go to for this information... would rather not have to contact every individual vendor if possible...

    Much appreciation,

    WOLF

    Major bummer that Sirius hasn't supported anything past OS5.

    Interesting. I've noticed lately most of the apps I use, won't work on OS5 anymore. That's why I've been dying to upgrade to the newer bbs.

    Google Voice works well on my 9850. YouMail works but you have to go to the m.youmail.com website. I cannot get the icon/app to download due to incompatibility.
