I don't think VCast has ever been available on any of their BlackBerry's.

Is there a way for apps not specifically designed for the Storm to work on the Storm or do we have to wait for new versions of these apps to be released specifically made to run on the Storm. I would think this might be a bigger issue due to the touchscreen than it would normally be when a new BB comes out.

I second this question. This is one of the concerns I have with the Storm.

LOOK IT UP, USE THE SEARCH, DO SOMETHING!!! This has already been answered, some of the apps will be exactly the same as on your Curves, Pearls, etc, and will work with the touchscreen, while some apps will make "Storm Versions" of their apps to include diff touch screen "gestures"

Search? I am confused. Sheesh ... new people. Anyway, I just noticed that handango says they have 466 programs for the Storm. I guess that is a clue. I still think it is the Bold for me.

my experience with this whole situation is as long as you are not EXCESSIVElY using it then you should be okay. i have been over 5GB in a month several time but only by a GB or two. its the pepole that have 10 GB of use several months in a row that have an issue.

If you stream the occasional football game on one weekend or something you should be fine!
