How many times have there been new apps posted where people start complaining because there isn't a Storm version (even if it follows a little while later)? There was even an app that was on the home page about 182.97 months ago where the app worked great on GSM BBs, but wouldn't work on CDMA versions. The company was based in Germany and didn't have a CDMA network to test on. The processor in the GSM models can process sounds, so there are guitar tuner apps for them. Their CDMA counterparts can't process sounds, so you can have a Curve on one carrier where the app will work, while not working on another.
A developer needs to do a lot more testing on BlackBerry. It doesn't surprise me that some developers don't want to work with BlackBerry. The ones that do make some incredible apps.
