Two things...
To my understanding, AppWorld is not a requirement...it is a storefront. Nothing more. It provides a portal to apps that have been written for your device and, I think, only presents you options that are compatible with your specific device. You are free to acquire apps via other channels -- but you need to do the compatibility validation on your own then.
Second -- this is a user-to-user support portal. Those providing answers are by-and-large just other users like you, who volunteer their free time to help others out. Only infrequently will you see someone here that is formal RIM. We are all glad to provide whatever assistance that we can...but we have no insider information nor knowledge. If you want formal RIM support, there are channels for you to obtain that -- starting with your carrier.
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!
Believe it or not, Like's do matter! So, if anyone has been helpful to you, please show your appreciation by clicking the
button inside of their post. Further, if you are the original poster (OP) and your issue is solved, please remember to (on the post that is the solution) click the "Accept as Solution" button so that others can more easily find it. Cheers! Oh...and FWIW...I am not a RIM employee...and these forums are user-to-user...not user-to-RIM.
