93lt1z28,

are you trying to install a back up copy or one of those apps OTA (over the air)?

You may want to try the BB website and select the version made specifically for the Storm. Check the links below and see if they work.

BlackBerry - AIM for BlackBerry - AIM for BlackBerry Smartphones - AOL Instant Messenger
BlackBerry - Yahoo Messenger

Try it on your PC and see if it will send the correct app OTA to your phone.

It's worth a try. It must eventually work because I run both applications on my Verizon Storm 9530.

I will tell you that Yahoo Messenger has bugs. It routinely freezes on me and if I can't power down and back up with the physical key, I have to do a battery pull in order to get the Storm back into operation.

Good luck!

93lt1z28,

I had difficulty downloading a app with an OTA link. The issue was solved by moving to an area with stronger reception and trying again.

Additionally, if you can't get it to work. I recommend a phone wipe and fresh install. The DM should load the 3rd party messenger programs for you when you sync. It's part of the basic BB bundle. The last time I synced with the DM to perform a backup, it automatically checked for updates and updated my AIM.

You'll get it fixed. I am sure.
