BlackBerry Storm 9530
Another update is coming
I talked to my Verizon friend who is a tech there and he said another update is on the way. He owns this phone himself and knows what he is doing. I couldn't believe it when he told me, I will talk to him more and see if he can figure the date its to be released!
Thank You,

I bet we will see a summertime release of the 5.0 operating system. Just a guess 😁

This latest update still needs bandages. First impression for me was the improved accelerometer, the qwerty in portrait, and very little else that significantly improved the device over .75 OS. I'm still plagued with bugs and a roadblock making it difficult for me to embrace the Storm. It is just not dependable!
I invoke the voice command field and the phone freezes for 10 minutes while it accesses the contact list....white screen and all! The battery won't last through half a day and I rotate 3 of them (carrying one on my belt) because the non predictable Storm craps out at ANY time of day with a near dead battery capacity reading what seems like all the time.

I was a loyal, somewhat patient victim of the monumental wait for the .148. Was it an all-to-do for repair? Nooo way! But I've said on these pages in the past that I am a masochist, so I await the new update like a good camper.
If you are a really heavy user, I would understand the battery problem. If you aren't, and it seems...

Hawkeye, your post was much better than my bandage remedy. Thank you! The link is terrific and should address my battery problems once I can focus on the responses.
I run Weatherbug which might be causing some excessive drain.
I also utilize the Storm for all my business activity via landline call fowarding. Email retrieval and 3rd party apps....... news,sports,convenience utilities such as wallpaper changers, ring tones, Utube, Accelodex, etc., account for much usage. I like to play with this phone.
