R.I.P 1st Storm - Possible suspects .103 - Please Read First

Dude.

I need some help here. My 1st storm died a pretty horrible death yesterday. First off let me explain what I had on the phone:
over 100 songs
2 movies
tons o emails
tons o texts
15 voicemails
apps: google maps, google sync, im+, tetris, key lock, Opera,

AND NOW. . .
The last software I download was crackberry apps, and slydial. Of course, I downloaded .87, .99, and .103.
The phone started to act real slow and sluggish THEN the unthinkable. I took the battery out and when it rebooted, I got the dreaded white screen. Then nothingness.

Verizon did give me a new unit and I did appreciate that but what gives guys? Was .103 the culprit. Crackberry? Slydial?

Is there something wrong with your .103?

Is your phone demonstrating some similair problems that I have mentioned?

The guys also told me that the guys over at phonenvy.com said that .103 was not the culprit and was probably that work purchasing a device when it first came out.

103 is ok, but there is a bug with sending pics, and it gets kinda slow.

I wonder if you could use the program called JL_commander to connect to the Storm, then wipe it and do a fresh install?

Great question! I have downloaded all my software and music back but I have not upgraded the os.

I downloaded logmaid and aerize optimizer and the phone is working pretty good. It is definitely faster than the 1st storm I got.

The .103 I believe is still the fastest I am just nervous because I don't want my phone to go crazy again. Maybe the .103 was not the issue though. Maybe the phone was bad all along.
