Hmm, Viigo installed on my phone no problem on the first shot, so did Google Maps and everything else I've tried downloading (assuming it works on the Storm). And I've been able to access the site (as you listed it), but the Storm is not yet listed there (its the support centre for all their phones, you just click on your model to access the page, although, again, the Storm isn't there just yet). You're not located in Vancouver by chance, are you? (I think I remember seeing something stating you were in Edmonton). From the problems you're listing, I'm starting to wonder if your phone isn't having a software issue. Any chance you can get access to a dealer who can contact Blackberry for you? If they have a Blackberry tech that can look at it, they might be able to reinstall the OS and get it working for you. Or if they do release the new OS soon, upgrading should take care of things for you.
If you want to PM me your settings, I'll compare them to what I've got on my phone. 
That is indeed Java (Java Micro Edition, more specifically). I wish there was a way for me to connect using the USB cable to my computer to check if you can just uninstall and reinstall Java (in case that's the problem), but until I get a replacement cable...
I'm assuming you've already checked to see that Java is enabled, correct? You can also check permissions, but...
First thing, I'm glad they sorted it out! From what you had sent me, that's what I had thought happened, but maybe they had to access the settings differently than how I was thinking. Nice to have a properly function phone, eh?? 
Secondly, regarding the cards, I think it's more about the card manufacturer than the class. Usually class 6 cards are supposed to be the fastest, but there's a difference between class 6 from Sandisk and class 6 from a low end card manufacturer. In my opinion, Sandisk is the way to go. I think the limit right now is 8GB (I haven't seen 16GB around anywhere yet), but 16GB would certainly be nice so that you don't have to swap cards.
As to programs and folders, when we loaded the movies onto the original card, we just loaded them into the Videos folder by sticking the microSD card into an adapter and popping that onto the PC and that was it. I think we can pretty much just create our own folders as desired with no problem on the computer, and then just stick the card in the phone. I've also started to figure out that you can actually choose where some things (e.g. email attachments) are downloaded to, but things like programs are downloaded and installed directly into the phone's memory (it has it's own system memory that's dedicated for programs that's apparently seperate from the 1GB internal memory). I don't think we can change that, or at least not yet (maybe after future system updates??).
Final comment, when I do finally load up my new microSD cards, I actually plan on just taping them to the inside of the battery cover. Apparently this is what the Blackberry guys have been doing. 
Like that, no worries about losing them!
