Xfinity Mobile App for Blackberry

Xfinity released their Mobile app for the iPhone and shortly after released a version for the Android.  Nice to see they are supporting the Blackberry (which I use).  Unfortunately the app will not run on my two year old Blackberry 8330 so I cannot review the app here.  I guess it is time for an upgrade.

In order to run the app you need to have Blackberry OS 4.6 or higher and the app will run on the following devices models:

  • Curve 8900
  • Curve 8520
  • Curve 8530
  • Curve 9300
  • Curve 9330
  • Bold 9000
  • Bold 9650
  • Bold 9700
  • Storm
  • Storm 2
  • Tour
  • Torch
The App seems to  include the same features on the Blackberry, iPhone and Android versions of the app.  These features include

  • Access to your email inbox and voice mail messages
  • Schedule DVR Recordings
  • View and filter TV listings
  • Synchronize your Xfinity address book with your Blackberry contacts
Now I just need to get on the phone with Sprint and see if I am eligible for an upgrade so I can actually check this app out.
