Edit 1: I almost want to pay just to see if it will work and how it looks tho
Edit 2: Just registered and created an account so far so good... interestingly enough at the top of the screen it says BB mobile Powered by SPRINT ???? I will take the dive and try to rent a video in a little bit (BTW I'm running the Freshh Rom)
Edit 2.5: Downloading a movie now with no problems so far. WiFi downloads only and its sloooow! *Speed improved on my home wifi started downloading at the gym
Ok so after it finally downloaded I hit play and..... LICENSE EXPIRED. I got a big fail! For some reason its saying that the license expired even tho I just finished downloading. I checked my newly created BB online account (from my laptop) and I couldn't find any evidence of the download.

I am not going to try it again 1. because they did still charge me. 2. Because at the end of the day it just isnt that convenient. If it streamed maybe, but as a download service I just dont see the point. Why pay for a $4 rental when I could just download it to my computer for FREE and transfer to my sd card and watch it as often and for as long as I'd like (albeit illegally lol). I'll just wait for Netflix, I'd rather pay monthly for an unlimited streaming video library (even if lower quality) than having to pay per movie, download to my sd and only have a limited viewing window. Even if the Netflix app isnt free I'd still prefer this option as long as its a reasonable price.

Feel free to give it a shot but imho its just not worth it, even if it did work correctly. But the money was worth it tho, now we know lol.

Uninstalling now...
