CrackBerry App Stores

CrackBerry.com's App Store offering is a little more confusing as there are essentially three app stores available for consumer use, but between them is very full featured offering a number of free and paid apps AND themes, pricing as low as 99 cents, support for paypal and credit card (credit card currently on web store only), dedicated support for order assistance in addition to technical assistance by the developer, provides refunds and is available in countries around the world.

The ShopCrackBerry.com CrackBerry App Store (http://software.crackberry.com) is the most full featured store and is optimized for browsing on your computer. You can purchase with paypal and/or credit card, buy multiple apps in one checkout, get featured pricing, and in addition to screen caps can often (when provided by developer) view videos of the apps in action. The only limitation to this store is that it currently does not accept coupon codes for apps.

The CrackBerry Mobile App Store (http://crackberryappstore.com - visit from your Berry's browser) is essentially the mobile version of the main computer-optimized store. For example, if you visit a url on the CrackBerry blogs pointing to the main store at software.crackberry.com (and your browser's identification is set to BlackBerry), you will automatically get redirected to the mobile version of this link on your device. Only credit card checkout is currently available for this mobile cart, but coupon codes will work here. 

The CrackBerry App Store Client (download from http://crackberry.com/appstore on your Berry's browser) is essentially an App World of sorts - this is an actual program you install on your device that is more user-friendly than a mobile site. Like the mobile app store, it currently requires credit card checkout. The app store client has several awesome features that you can learn more about here.
