* UPDATE I was able to fix it by denying Poynt access to my GPS. After doing so it loads and you have to go through a bunch of error screens. Do a battery pull after you ok everything and no more problems. *

* WARNING I initially went to the site to download the application to get some screenshots. Once I found out that it wasn’t compatible with the Curve 8900 I deleted it (without getting screenshots). After deleting and trying to restart, my Curve 8900 gets stuck on the splash screen for T-Mobile and goes no further, with Poynt asking for access to my GPS. It seems like Pandora not being compatible screwed with Poynt and now my Curve 8900 won’t fully load. DON’T DOWNLOAD IT UNLESS YOUR BLACKBERRY IS SUPPORTED. *
