You are all going to hate me for this BUT- I have been eligible for my upgrade since march and am just finally considering using it. Which Blackberry would you recommend: 8703e 8830 8230 (flip phone? wtf) Storm 9530 Curve 8830 tour 9630 I know NOTHING about them, but would be handy for work (emails) so please, don’t mind the ignorance and make a suggestion ---

The storm 9530 has been an average phone at best for me the past few months. Now that I updated to a leaked/beta 5.0.0.323 OS, its much faster and more responsive. So with that OS installed, I would actually suggest the storm, if touch screen is your thing. If you need a keyboard, look elsewhere. ---

Maybe when it reloaded everything from the backup, it didn’t fully restore your settings? Try reloading the backup files from when you upgraded. I’ve upgraded three separate Storms to OS 5 this morning and all have gone very smoothly (although we are on BES). ---
