Cool application! Check out the new applications on my page!

if you want a free GPS application why not use the google maps app? its free

[jfalkingham]

Google maps, bb maps both are cool. But no voice option sucks. But you can't beat the cost.

your phone is dying lol

[elcuban8209]

can you use gmail on this phone?

[jfalkingham]

Yes - either with the google app for blackberry, or by setting it up in the BIS.

[Doggieman1111]

you like expensive apps dontcha?

[jfalkingham]

All the apps are free with the exception of Telenav, which is absolutely worth the $6 a month I pay for it (prepaid). The other apps are free, but do offer pay options if you don't like commercials (slacker) or limited functionality on WorldMate.

How do you hide apps you don't want on this phone?

[jfalkingham]

Highlight an app, hit the BlackBerry key and choose Hide Icon.

Thank you!

I clean uo the screen by creating a new filefolder called UNUSED. I move all the unused stuff into that folder and then create additional folders to combine related tasks..make navigating a breeze!

Do you have an OTA link for the theme? I can't seem to download it to my computer and I dont have Internet on my Storm atm.

[MaxiTheTaxi]

Nevermind got it working, looks awesome! thanks :D

do u have to pay for vz navigator just to have access to gps or can u use an app for free?

[itsasad117]

where do i have free apps for storm apps ?

[jfalkingham]

You need to pay Verizon up to $9.99 to use VZ navigator. To each is own, but I don't mind the monthly ding. The maps are updated for me on the fly.

[vercetti988]

Are there any productivity apps? Example Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

[jfalkingham]

Yes, documents to go is provided with the device.

[fiveitis]

[jamesrd23]

Why the heck do you keep smacking your lips! Its annoying!!!

[jfalkingham]

I dunno maybe I was parched at the time. I'll be sure to remember this when I make videos for your enjoyment.

[Phillyjay42onpbl]

Hey I just tryin to find out how can I view movies for free on da bbstorm

[jfalkingham]

streaming? on the device memory? DVD fab is a great program to format dvd's for the BlackBerry (a bit quicker than Roxio which is included in the desktop manager).

how did you get a storm for at&t

[jfalkingham]

Hello,

It's unlocked. I put an AT&T sim card in. It will work on GSM/GPRS/EDGE networks in north America. It also supports 3G on GSM networks in Europe.

[xDSxClanx]

how did u set up ur storm is that a theme?

[bupponex]

televav is free??

[jfalkingham]

Hi,

No, the monthy access fee is $9.95. Which I think is better than a GPS unit that you have to pay for updated maps anyway. Great app!

[gatorsam]

thanks for this vid as well as the links. did you notice any battery drainage after installing these apps? i added Worldmate and Poynt a few days ago..and my battery would drain so quickly! I un installed those 2 apps..and now the battery is fine again?

thanks in advance for any info you may provide!

keep up the vids!

[jfalkingham]

Hi,

You will definitely have battery drain with those apps if left running in memory. Best advice I can give is to exit the application from the menu, not just the END key or back key. Poynt is keeping your location in check, as you roam it does too. Worldmate will update as needed to its servers, so I could absolutely see them being a hog. I'm not thrilled with the Storm battery life out of the box, but with a little managing on the app side, I survive. Enjoy and thanks for the comment.

[jfalkingham]

Please read the full description for all of the application links... Thanks!
