Repurchase apps if go to BB7?
- I'm currently using a Bold 9650 and have found a reasonable deal for a 9850. I love my 9650. Among the questions I have about the switch, it occurred to me that I have a set of core apps that I use regularly. Some are free, and some were complementary from RIM based on the outage last fall.
My app list is as follows:
AP Mobile
Bejewled (Complementary paid app)
Blackberry Bridge
Blackberry Messenger
Blackberry News
Blackberry Protect
Blackberry Traffic
Blackberry Travel
Crackberry Forums (of course)
Facebook
Fancy Speed Test
iHeartRadio
Nobex Radio Premium (Complementary - Heavily used)
Photo Editor Ultimate (Complementary)
Poynt
Shazam Encore (Complementary)
Sims 3 (Complementary - but useless on the 9650 screen)
The Weather Channel
Toss It (Sprint Promo)
TunedIn Radio
Twitter
Vlingo Virtual Assistant (Complementary - Heavily used)
Windows Live Messenger
Yahoo Messenger
My questions are:
- Are there versions of these apps for OS7?
- Will I be able to re-download the complementary apps for the new OS?
- Am I better off, for each of the apps, to not try to restore the app data from my OS6 backups to the new phone with OS7?
- Has anyone experienced problems with any of these apps in an OS7 environment?
And, as a side question, are there any components of a full backup of an OS6 phone that I should not try to restore?

I would suggest not moving your apps for os 6 to 7, just move your BBID to the new device and do a fresh install. Every thing else should be fine moving over.

I had a fave theme on my old 9800, and when I went to a Bold I was able to re-install, AND I got the OS7 version of the theme. Several other apps behaved the same way.
I think you'll be okay.louzer likes this.06-21-12 09:11 PMLike 1
