Today is the first day of owning a BlackBerry Storm 2 and as with every BlackBerry, you can get apps preloaded, from App World, and from third party stores such as ours.
In general, carriers do a fairly bad job at preloading your device with applications that are useful. Alternatively, there are a ton of great apps in App World and elsewhere that anyone can download. So let’s take a look at the state of the apps for the Storm2 at launch.

Shazam is one of the coolest applications in App World. The app is an incredibly simple way to discover and purchase music. One of its features includes being able to tag a song you’re listening to, and Shazam will figure out what song it is and let you purchase it, if it’s available.
Shazam now offers full support for the BlackBerry Storm. Now, Shazam is available for all BlackBerry trackball smartphones (including the Bold, Curve and Pearl) as well as the Storm, featuring full touchscreen support.
The application works the same way as the existing Shazam application for BlackBerry handsets. Users can choose from a free basic version of Shazam with limited functionality or a full-featured version for just $4.99.
The full-featured version includes:
· Unlimited Tags
· Tag charts
· Recommendations for similar tracks
· Biographies of artists
· Reviews of tagged music
· Discographies
· The option to buy and share discovered music
Shazam is currently offering a free, seven-day trial of the full-featured version.
