Blackberry Storm

Method · 04-08-2009, 08:36 PM

Just picked one up yesterday - Nice little device. I decided to wait until they put out some additional software revisions and the appstore before buying it and it seems to be well worth the wait (At least with the software revisions).

Anyone else have one? If so, anything I should be on the watch for?

Also, are there any good programs in the appstore? So far from what I've seen I've been fairly disappointed.

Upgrade your OS to beta .109

Weatherbug
Slacker
google maps
softreset

are the must have apps.

Trip's covered the good stuff. I have one too. I have Weatherbug, Slacker, Flycast, Facebook, Myspace, Twitterberry, Flickr, Google Maps, and a few themes on mine. Crackberry has pretty much been the source of most of the themes I'm using, though themes4bb.com, blueroomsolution.com, and blackberrythemepark.com all have a nice little selection as well. I'm on .113, though there are some people who are having problems with it, so .109 might be the more stable beta to go for.

Looks like I'm on .75 right now - I assume both of you guys are on Verizon..

Also, what's the difference between the stock OS and .109? Stability? Speed? Features?

if you just bought it you are running .75

options -> about -> v4.7.0.*** (platform 4.0.0.###)

The *** is what OS you are running.

.109 is just as stable as .75, it's a hell of a lot faster, it has some little features that are better. Including the option to make potrait keyboard a full keyboard.

I wanted an Iphone but thanks to this forum I brought home a Storm. Having be a VZ customer allowed me to bring it home cheaply.

Any plans on when BB is actually going to release some updates that won't void my warantee?

Thats the only thing that makes me nervous about getting into the phone like that. I am on a streak of terrible luck lately.
