I heard that all of the .12x builds were garbage. I’m running .113 and have zero issues. I like it a lot. I’ll wait until a .13x or .14x build leaks. Of course, by then we’ll be seeing the 5.x builds coming out. ---

Regarding “having issues and wanting to return phone for another”. It’s called the 3 strikes rule. If you have issues with your phone that warrant 3 returns, and you bitch enough, they’ll let you get a different phone. ---

Segond von Banchet supposedly revealed that the Storm successor will launch in late 2009 or early 2010 with KPN, a move away from the exclusive Vodafone launch seen with the original Storm. He also confirmed that the Storm 2 will contain an improved touch input method, which we spoke of yesterday, so consider this a third source of confirmation. Now here’s where things get sketchy. Segond von Banchet supposedly also claimed that RIM will be slowing down the release schedule for devices in 2009 with no new devices except for the Storm 2. Considering we all know the Niagra alone is well on its way to two US carriers, at least one confirmed in 2009, this report loses a bit of credibility lest he was speaking only about the local market in the Netherlands. Either way, RIM and its partners seem a bit loose lipped regarding the unannounced Storm 2 — very, very uncharacteristic Nice. ---

I’ve gotta say, i’ve never had a need for WIFI on this thing. I mean, I have constant BB data…all WIFI would be to me is another radio to add more weight and drain more battery. Someone convince me otherwise. ---

Only handy when your data wouldn’t be free/unlimited/available. I.E. using skype over hotel wifi when overseas. Otherwise unnecessary. When I have data turned on on my wifi winmo phones I never use wifi. ---

Can you run BB specific data apps on wifi? For specific example, BB BIS email? BES email? BBM? PIN messaging? I really dont think so, as those are specific to BB’s servers, and dont really ever touch public internet. ---

anyone ever have problems with a unlocked BB 8310 on At&T they cannot get it to connect to BB servers (edge is in lower case). tried everything and checked all settings and no go.

Unless the BB servers are behind some kind of private network…the internet is the internet yea, i’m not nerdy enough to explain it, but its complete end to end encryption.

i would only like wifi because my job uses access points at entrances to buildings and having something hand held that can tell me more about the wifi signal in the area would be helpful but as far as evdo it is more than enough to use my phone with. ---
