Blackberry Solution: "Sorry, your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Google Talk."
I experienced a near panic this morning as my Blackberry Google Talk client stopped functioning and the official download site at http://www.blackberry.com/googletalk/ gave me a “Sorry, your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Google Talk” message when I tried to reinstall it, both over the air and on my desktop.
If this happens to you, you may experience a deep sense of loss, of disconnection from the entire world. The sensation may resemble claustrophobia or being marooned.
Do not panic.
Remain calm.
All is well.
Just open up the software abomination known as Blackberry App World, search for and download Google Talk, and enjoy being restored as it ignores the incorrect dependency checking code the official site is using.
For you detail-oriented folk (and Google) this was tried out on a Sprint Blackberry Curve 8330 running OS v4.5.0.77.
