Verizon has finally decided to offer its V Cast Video Service on the BlackBerry Storm. Starting today, Verizon BlackBerry Storm users with unlimited data plans can add V Cast Video to their devices for $10 per month.
BlackBerry Storm users can find V CAST Videos by going to the VZ Today link in their browsers, clicking on Get Apps, and selecting V CAST Videos to download the application.
If you aren’t a BlackBerry Storm use, but, still want to get V Vast videos on your device, it looks like it may just be a matter of time. The press release says clearly that V Cast videos would be first available on the Storm, however, it didn’t say anything about the Storm being the only BlackBerry device that the service would be offered on.

Get It Now, V Cast videos = verizon’s monthly nickel and diming way to get video’s you can already get over the internet for the cost of normal data service. LAME.
C’mon Rock, don’t be so curmudgeonly. I think that a lot of folks might actually agree with you on this one. Instead being so “Bah Humbug”, why don’t you give a few examples of how people could do something similar for free?
If they would just get a browser or some way to get Hulu, I’d be in love.
Yes, I would love to know how to watch NHL games on my Storm for free.
Verizon provides my voice and data plans. I want nothing more from them.
its good to hear VZW is expanding its offering to more devices. This may be a decent option for some folks, but I am happy with my Orb and tv tuner. I enjoy all of my live local cable channels programs while only paying the cost for the tv tuner hardware. Yes, my laptop does have to remain on and plugged in to enjoy live television, but if I step away for business the duty is passed on to my desktop comp. As stated, this may be a decent option for those who are not as tech inclined as others (or those who are not able to get the firewall and handset settings right for Orb). For others that seek an alternative option, Orb is another avenue to explore. Make sure to visit the website before going out and purchasing any equipment as the Orb software only wants to play nice with certain brands of tuners and handsets.
Installed it yesterday, does not work. Called tech support at Verizonwireless they pulled it. No date when it will be back up.
UPDATE: I REINSTALLED THE DOWNLOAD ON MY OWN AND IT’S WORKING GREAT!. I GUESS THIS VERIZON WIRELESS TECH DID NOT WANT TO WORK TODAY. SHE GAVE ME INFORMATION THAT WAS NOT TRUE. IT ALSO MAKES HER COMPANY NOT LOOK TO GOOD AS WELL WITH THE INFO SHE TOLD ME. SHE SAID THEY GOT IT UP AND RUNNING BUT IT DID NOT WORK. THEY DO NOT HAVE A DATE WHEN IT WILL BE BACK AND RUNNING.
Maybe she was just trying to save you money. You see a conscience is a tough thing to have for some people who work for verizon and “get it”. As pointed out before Get It Now, V Cast videos = verizon’s monthly nickel and diming way to get video’s you can already get over the internet for the cost of normal data service.
Get It Now, V Cast videos, any and all of verizon’s monthly nickel and diming ways is nothing but a desperate grab of control to keep customers within the walled garden where they can charge for things which are available free on the internet.

The day is coming soon for the service providers to be shown for what they are, what we pay them to be, DUMB PIPES. Consumers have put up far too long with big red’s games of crippling devices in the name of nickle and dime.
