BlackBerry World

[Prune]

When I registered for Appworld, instead of typing my email address as @rogers.blackberry.net I typed it as @rogers.blackberry.com
In any other registration system in the world, the email address would have been verified before accepting it. But Appworld developers apparently assume that people are perfect and never make mistakes.
Now I cannot receive the password reset email and I cannot get any support either. My provider, Rogers, insists that Appworld is a RIM service and they can not only help me but would also not escalate the issue to RIM; I talked to a manager and same thing. Calling RIM, they told me to go through my provider...
Tell me RIM, do you think it is fine to ask for $49 USD to reset someone's password?
I have been a long-time advocate of BB phones among my peers and my company, but this sort of horrible, awful, terrible experience in trying to resolve something so trivial has convinced me that RIM has become so complacent about its market position that caring for its customers is a waste of money. Screw the customer!

And so, in my last ditch attempt, I turn to the community of other frustrated users: how do I reset my password when the account associated email is invalid? Or at least delete my account so I can create a new one while keeping my apps and keep getting upgrade notifications?
I am extremely uncomfortable in having my paypal information stored in an account I have to abandon!

Hello,

While this won't help your situation, it is actually quite astounding that Rogers won't help you. As a formal carrier, they are 100% responsible for all support to their user base, including issues such as this with AppWorld. To deny you escalation into RIM to resolve this feels quite contradictory to their contractual responsibilities to both you and RIM.

While we never can expect anyone from RIM to be looking at these issues and taking any actions, let us hope that your case will be the exception to that rule.

Good luck!

From what ive seen with these appworld issues you may be forced to change the email. For whatever reason RIM is unable to make back end changes to these accounts and their solution is to use another email address. In my opinion that is not really an acceptable solution but that is what they say.

I have a few questions for you before we can dive into this.

Did you have a BlackBerry ID with App World 1.0? Also do you have any paid applications that you downloaded?

Also could you private message me with your BlackBerry PIN and Email address that associated with your BlackBerry ID?

Cheers,

After several days of trying various passwords and variations, and getting the lockout multiple times, I hit upon the right one.  Now I've corrected the email address.

Excellent, glad to hear the issue is resolved.
