Thread: FREE World Cup 2010 app for BlackBerry

UPDATE v1.0.7: Previously there were some Storm users experiencing problems with compatibility. I have tested the update on my Storm device and all seems to be working fine. You just have to get used to the scrolling for the touchscreen devices as it is done by sliding your finger left/right, up/down on the screen.

LOL... I can't wait for it too start... I was really disappointed when they denied Chicago the World Cup. I was looking forward to making the trip.

like they said, this app does not work well at all with the 9530...even with compatibility mode on. any way we can find a touch screen version??

As of right now this is the only version available :aargh4:

Yes, I confirm that it doesn't work with the Storm 9550 either.

So I have some interesting news (still no touchscreen version). Sprint and Rogers have announced that their subscribers will be able to watch the World Cup on their mobile devices. If you are on Sprint, their has been a partnership with ESPN to give you access to 56 of the 64 tourny's all available on Sprint TV as long as you are on the everything data plan. Rogers will allow its Rogers on demand subscribers with Android, BlackBerry, or Iphone devices to watch all 64 matches on their devices with the Rogers on demand app. Rogers willl be charging a service costs of $5/month in addition to a one-time $10 fee to enable the access for the World Cup. Props goes out to Boy Genius Report for the info.

Update again: v1.0.15 is now available. After installing v1.0.7 I got alerted to update to the newer version. Storm users you will still need to enable compatability however the user experience is much better then the first version.

what's the spanish word for configuration. tried all options but none give me the option to change the language back to english

You need to upgrade to 1.0.15 to get this option. I did not have it either before.
