BB Storm

i was really skeptical about the touchscreen at first but i LOVE it now, im getting the same battery life as everyone else has mentioned.

Cant wait for some more apps to come out.

Im glad i picked up this phone and i really love the 40% off i get each month.

http://forums.crackberry.com/f86/ultimate-official-tips-tricks-only-100612/ read this thread if you haven’t, it has a bunch of great tips and i learned a few things i didnt know about the phone.

4.7.0.83 was just leaked. Anyone try it yet?

nah - where can you get it from? i’ll give it a try

nice, grabbing it now, i’ll let you know how it goes

hot… i might be crazy but it seems MUCH faster

edit: i’m not crazy, this thing is flying now… instant resposne from the accelerometer, much quicker menus. great update.

I bit the bullet and loaded it. It was a tad slow initially but I think that was because it was still syncing with the BES. It seems VERY responsive now. More so than with the .75 release. The accelerometer does seem to hang up with this new build. The camera is MUCH faster (like 100% faster). There doesn’t seem to be any lag when hitting the shutter button. That’s all I’ve played with so far.

I can’t wait! I will be waiting though, until it’s an official release.

Rumors floating around that this release will be official on Tuesday.

No… the release of the Storm is right now… look outside ZING

:bush:

anyone have problems with theres freezing, ill have it on lock in my pocket and pull it out to check it and it will be stuck on a white screen and have the little thinking thing.

For hockey fans the hockey news app has been updated to allow the storm to work on it. I have had a few freezes after updating to .83 it hasnt in days though.

Has anyone returned theirs? Two guys I talked to who had normal BBs and got the storms for Xmas had returned them saying they did not like it.

No returns here. Actually just ordered 6 more for our executives.

i’ve seen a few returns. but then again, I manage an entire channel…

just updated my software ill let ya know what i think

Just installed 4.7.0.86. Locking and unlock of the screen is MUCH better. I noticed they made the shutter button/bar on the camera transparent too. Seems pretty quick. I like it. :tup:

Rumor has it there’s an official release coming on the 15th.

I havent sent mine in but i may ask for a replacement cause my screen isnt clicking as much as it is supposed to i guess. the corners are really weak.
