People seeking ways to get entertaining apps on their BlackBerry device have just got something interesting from Verizon Wireless. Well, the company has revealed that V CAST Apps, its mobile applications storefront, are now available on select BlackBerry smartphones. The apps offer users a one-click process to purchase a huge range of apps with utmost ease. The ‘purchased’ apps are instantly invoiced on users’ monthly account billing statements.
As of now, the V CAST Apps are available on the BlackBerry Bold 9650, Storm2 9550, Curve 8530 and Tour 9630 and are anticipated to roll out for Storm 9530 and Curve 8330 in the coming weeks. BlackBerry users who use BlackBerry Internet Service will receive an icon that connects to V CAST Apps. These Apps help users access various productivity, navigation and education apps as well as games and entertainment apps. Business users using BlackBerry Enterprise Server will have to get in touch with their business specialists for information on how to download V CAST Apps.
“Consumers want to do more with their wireless phones, and V CAST Apps is another way Verizon Wireless is bringing the most desirable applications to the nation’s most reliable network.
