The popular BlackBerry internet radio client, Pandora Radio, has been updated to version 1.1.2 and now works on the BlackBerry Storm and BlackBerry Storm2.
The version on BlackBerry App World hasn’t been updated with the new release, so, if you want to check it out, head over to www.pandora.com directly from your Storm or Storm2 BlackBerry Browser.

If you are a BlackBerry Storm user you may have already noticed a new installer icon on your device. Verizon partnered with Microsoft and is pushing Bing out to the BlackBerry Storm. Bing comes pre-installed on the BlackBerry Storm2, but, not wanting original Storm users feeling left out, Verizon is making sure that everyone with a touchscreen BlackBerry bearing the Verizon logo is included.
For those of you that don’t want Bing on your BlackBerry Storm simply hide the installer icon. Unfortunately you cannot delete the icon which kind of sucks, however, the space it takes up is negligible. RIM, you should really give users the ability to delete unwanted carrier pushed installer icons. Not doing so really ticks people off and, right now, you need all the good will towards your brand as you can get.

If you go back to the the latter part of September, Research in Motion’s stock price (ticker RIMM) was over $88 per share. At the time of this posting the price is down below $56. A Large chunk of this decline was because of poorer than expected Q2 fiscal 2010 earnings where the stock price got hammered over a day and a half long period. Things, however, seemed to settle down with not much movement, up or down, through most of October.
This was the case, at least, until Google announced Android 2 and Verizon started hyping the upcoming Verizon Droid while almost completely ignoring the BlackBerry Storm2. RIM’s stock price has dropped about another 10 bucks since the Android 2 announcements.
Should RIM be worried about Android? I am guessing that they should at least be concerned… I’d love to hear what you think in the comments.

I heard yesterday afternoon that NBA League Pass Mobile will be available today for the iPhone and Android devices. BlackBerry users, unfortunately, will have to wait a bit longer. The League says that the BlackBerry version will be out by the end of the year, which, I guess is OK so long as you aren’t interested in watching games, you know… like now.
This having to wait for cool applications to come out for the BlackBerry BS is getting really old.

Check out the new Verizon BlackBerry Storm2 commercial…

Remember when the BlackBerry Storm came out last year? Verizon hawked it everywhere possible. Magazine ads, billboards, TV commercials, contests… The BlackBerry Storm was the most hyped BlackBerry ever.
Move up a year and Verizon didn’t even officially announce the BlackBerry Storm2 until 2 days before the the device became available. Verizon didn’t market the BlackBerry Storm2 before it’s release at all. Whether they will now that it is available remains to be seen.
That being said, it is hard to miss the buzz in front of the upcoming Verizon Droid, which Verizon just happens to be marketing the heck out of. Word on the street is that Verizon is creating an interactive experience named Droid Does Times Square where people will be able to control both the Reuters and NASDAQ digital billboards.
Do a Google search for Verizon BlackBerry Storm2 (at the time of this posting) and you don’t get a single sponsored ad for the Verizon BlackBerry Storm2. You may actually get a sponsored ad for the Droid. Search for Verizon Droid, and you most certainly do. Probably several of them.
There is no question, at least from initial advertising efforts which device Verizon is betting on.
