As many of you have seen me lurking around and posting (though rather infrequently), I'm looking at getting the BB Bold 9930 in the near future. My Mum is actually due for an upgrade, has decided she wanted a smartphone and is taking the plunge for a Bold 9930 too.

There are a few apps that I use regularly on my iPhone and I was hoping that some of you might be able to tell me if they are working on the Bold yet with OS 7. If the majority aren't working, this could be a deal breaker for me returning to BB. I'm assuming no one uses all of these apps, but if you do use one of the apps listed below and could let me know if it works, I'd appreciate it (I thought I saw a post on this board about compatible apps but I couldn't find it just now)...

**Still need compatibility on bolded apps.

Four Square - yes
LinkedIn
PNC Bank (Updated: To get started go to pnc.com from your mobile browser and, if you have a compatible device, look for the Mobile App download button.)
Starbucks Mobile Card
Poynt - yes
Score Mobile - yes
Evernote - yes
Kindle
My Verizon - yes
Open Table - yes
Flixster - yes
Urban Spoon - no
Amazon
Drop Box - yes
Google (search, maps and Gmail) - yes
Comcast Xfinity - no, major compatibility issues - steer clear for now
TV Guide - apparently this has been discontinued for BlackBerry

Thanks everyone!

PS - I'll periodically check back and repost the list with compatibility!

Xfinity is supposed to be available now. It is not showing up in my app world though. Maybe its only on OS 6 devises.

DO NOT USE THE XFINITY APP ON THE 9900/9930!!! IT HAS BRICKED MY 9930 AS WELL AS MANY OTHER MEMBERS PHONES. IF YOU THINK I'm FULL OF IT ... DL THE APP AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS .... BUT TAKE MY WORD FOR FOR IT - XFINITY IS DEADLY TO THE 9930 AT THIS POINT. THEY NEED TO UPDATE IT ASAP!

Chelsea, Poynt has been one of my favorites for years, going all the way back to my 8330! Great application!! Thanks for stopping by to let me know that Poynt is compatible!!

I emailed Comcast about an updated Xfinity app. Could someone check PNC to see if their app works? These are the 2 potential deal breakers for me (I check my bank account and set my DVR constantly with me phone)!
