when I try to download BB app world it says that my device software doesn't support it and need to download Ver. 4.2 or higher - the Bold 9700 runs ver. 5.0!!

anyone else had this problem. how did you solve it?

And before any smart asses say - I don't want an iPhone!

apparently I have found the solution - you have to buy into the Blackberry internet services! I only want to download free apps

Majorly rubbish!

If its a monthly contract yes its included, it maybe the fact that it wasn't activated as mine wasn't. A call to customer services 191 should sort it out.

yes £5 a month, included in the contract.
