    Purchased a Storm on adverts. Works fine and all that but seems like im missing a number of things.
    From what ive read there should be an application center icon. Looknig to purchase a sat nav application.
    Its a pre pay fone...locked to vodafone.
    Will vodafone sort the phone out for me if I bring it in to them?

    The app store, email and maps applications won't appear unless you're on a Blackberry service plan which is not available on prepay. The browser might not be there either.

    I have a bb storm on prepay - have no bb browser maps or app centre. I use opera mini and google maps, etc. I don't know of any GPS software available.

    I installed google maps at the weekend but each time i launch it it says Network Unavailable. I went to http://www.google.com/mobile/gmm/configure.html but there is no blackberry option. how did you get google maps to work for you?

    Won't work through vodafone live - you need to change the APN to Vodafone.ie - costs 19c per mb.
