Blackberry Paid App Now Opened In Malaysia

app world 2 paid Blackberry Paid App Now Opened In Malaysia

What I didn’t notice initially when I run the App World 2.0 is that the paid app is now visible to me, which mean RIM has finally opened the paid app for purchase in Malaysia. On the previous version of App World, paid app section is blank, with nothing on display. Although I didn’t proceed with the payment, at least I can reach the payment option stage which no offering payment from Paypal as well as credit card.

The move by RIM is a positive sign, seen as vote of confidence toward Blackberry user in this country. This can also be seen as an act of acceptance toward the growing needs of users in Malaysia who would love to have full access to the application in the Blackberry App World. Sometime, free is not good enough..

RIM has released Blackberry App World 2.0 few days ago with some enhancement on UI as well as additional features.

Good news to all Blackberry user in Malaysia, that Blackberry App World is now officially opened to us. Yes, that’s true, and I know that some of you have been waiting this to materialize for years.  Because there is no official communication on RIM blog just yet about this matter, and Malaysia is still not listed in the list of country that have access to App World, to confirm that this is indeed true, I have done 2 things.

First, I search App World from Blackberry App World (yes I have it as I install it using the workaround), and it is now visible, when it is not before. I manage to upgrade App World from version 1.1.0.17 to 1.1.0.33.  Second, I search App World from App World download page, and found that it’s no longer prevent me from downloading it, unlike before where it will prompt message stating that I’m not from the country that can use this app.

So what are you waiting before. Download and enjoy!

Blackberry App World To Be Available In Malaysia This June

bb app world Blackberry App World To Be Available In Malaysia This June

One of the sorely missed feature in Blackberry devices sold in Malaysia is the lack of Blackberry App World, an app store equivalent to the like of Apple App Store, Nokia Ovie Store or Android Market. Although there is workaround to install it which is very simple, the paid app is still not available for purchase and not every users have an initiative to install it.

celcom appworld Blackberry App World To Be Available In Malaysia This June

So if that statement from Celcom during the launch of Blackberry Storms 9520 is to be believed, Blackberry users in Malaysia will soon have Blackberry App World available on the device by June. Obviously, this development should pleased majority of Blackberry users who still without access to Blackberry App World.

Although the statement came from Celcom, RIM (the maker of Blackberry) tend to introduce this service by country instead of based on carriers in the past. I believe that users from other carriers will be able to enjoy this service as well.

Beside the attraction to the device itself, having access to Blackberry App World which currently hold more than 10,000 application should be another point that users will consider when shopping for a brand new phone or switching from one smartphone platform to another. Without the apps, probably it’s not far too much to say that you have missed 50% the fun that the smartphone is offering.

Thanks to this post at Crackberry Forum, I have my Blackberry 8520 installed with Blackberry App World. You don’t have to wait RIM to roll out App World to other countries, because using the workaround stated in that post will enable every Blackberry devices to have App World installed.

I know, it is annoying if you can’t install Blackberry App World if you live in countries not yet listed to receive that service. Without apps, the device is just another smart phone on the market.. without soul and boring. As I had said before, RIM is pretty slow in expanding App World, but well.. I don’t care about that anymore now.
