Will Blackberry Application Prices Go Down
- I'm guessing with the new Blackberry subscribers, and the Blackberry becoming more of a consumer device now more then ever will their expensive app store cut back on the high prices. anyone have any clues as to when they will go down a bit?01-27-10 06:56 PMLike 0
- I hope so too blackberry has the fewest apparently but still the most expensive I hope they target the younger crowd and lower their prices01-28-10 12:15 AMLike 0
- I'm hoping they go down soon cause a lot of the apps are pretty useful.

Right now, they have to take into account OS 4.2, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 5.0, touch, non-touch, 320x240, 480x320, 480x360, GSM vs. CDMA, and a lot of little tweaks for each model. It's not like you make one app and it's guaranteed to work on every device.
Hopefully, once 5.0 rolls out to all current devices, developers will have less work, and prices will come down.01-28-10 09:58 AMLike 0 - amazinglygracelessRetired ModTo me, app prices are where they should be. I have paid as little as
$1 and as much as $30.
My take is this, if the app does what you need it to do pony up the cash.
If the cost is too much then you don't really need it.01-28-10 01:11 PMLike 0 - As long as developers have to make apps for different OS's and screen resolutions
etc the apps will most likely remain at the same price. It's been this way for a long
time. But you never know. BeeJive basically cut the price in half recently.01-28-10 01:40 PMLike 0 -
- Blackberry users pay what is it like 10 bucks or more for documents to go i believe its called while android users pay aka I paid 2 bucks for it, i mean thats sad.01-28-10 05:55 PMLike 0

- The other problem is that BB users have been installing apps from non-appworld for a long time...
It's a lot different than like the iPhone where you basically never had a choice in the first place. You have always had multiple choices (dev sites, 3rd party stores, appworld, etc).
So it's going to take a lot longer to centralize most of the stuff.01-28-10 06:08 PMLike 0 -
I only had the Nokia for 3 weeks and did not purchase any other apps, so I do not know if Symbian apps are relatively cheap or expensive.
I paid $29.99 for DocumentsToGo Premium upgrade for my BlackBerry. It was on sale when I got it.

I really didn't have the Nokia long enough to check out Symbian app store.
