Re: Here's a little more S3
Okay so there's three of us left for the Storm. Now the question becomes do I re-up in Sept when I can upgrade? Or do I hold out for 4G and QNX?
At least the Playbook is getting good reviews, since my next purchase will probably be for two devices, the handset and the tablet.
I just don't know if my S2 has enough life left for another 12 mos.
Re: Here's a little more S3
Agreed! I'm limping along with a bruised and battered Storm, hoping by some miracle that RIM will announce a worthy successor by the time I get to upgrade.
Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case. The Mrs got a Droid X two months ago. It's frickin' amazing. The touch screen is smooth and easy to work; the screen quality is amazing; and the size of the thing is crazy big for viewing, but not too ...
Here's a little more S3

Possible S3 sighting?
Anyone left?

Re: Data tethering
Tether now offers its app for droid phones. Works great on BB. One-time $50 fee for app (sometimes on sale). No other carrier charges to use tether.
iphone update?
"I think April is the proper time-frame for an iPad 2," Marshall told Computerworld magazine. "Since I'm projecting that Apple will release a CDMA iPhone in March, both will help to equalize Apple's seasonality."

I wish I had some news about the S2 successor.
Re: LTE Announcement today
Or, it could be the reason that Verizon and Apple announced today that the iPhone is coming to VZW in 2011.
They'll have to pry my Storm 2 out of my cold, dead hands.....
Work around for flash player?
Okay Storm brainiacs:
Any suggestions for playing flash videos? There's got to be some way of playing them?
Appreciate the help.
Re: Open Question for Storm Experts.
Come over to the dark side. You'll love it; you'll love the coverage; you'll love the Verizon customer service.
To answer your questions:
A. You can sync calendars, contacts, and email using the google sync app.
B. Camera is okay, and you can use it for pics and vids.
C. Good media app for pics, vids, and music. Very easy to use.
D. I load all sorts of vids to kill time when I'm on the road. ...
BB App world
Anybody run into any problems with BB App World? I'm trying to download and run the apps that I had loaded on S1, but keep getting error messages saying that the apps won't run on the S2.
Which of course is odd since I'm running OS 5.0.0.328 on my S1, so the apps should work on the S2 as well.
Any suggestions?
Love it!
:D :D
Just great so far. Love the new feel of the touch screen. Wifi too. Just the best so far!
Re: Want the storm but worried about the touch screen for...
Go for it! It will take about a week, but with the S2 it's much easier to use. You won't regret it.
Plus, VZW has a 30 guarantee, so if you don't like the S2, you have plenty of time to exchange it for something else.
Re: 9550 BOGO!
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I got mine (actually two) this morning on-line. I'll have them in hand tomorrow.
Finally!
Re: 9550 BOGO!
The on-line guy said that BOGO was only for on-line and not in the stores. I'll have to see what tomorrow brings :-)...
9550 BOGO!
Tell me I'm nuts. Follow this link and tell me if I'm seeing this right:

Re: Pandora issue with 5.0.0.328
Already spoke to Pandora the other day regarding the glitch. They are aware, and working on a fix. He said that it should be in the next Pandora release probably by the end of the month.
.328 is here!

Gosh it's cool being "official"
BOGO for Storm 2?
Okay, my Verizon guy "confirmed" that the Storm 2 was not available "Oct 24, 25, 26, 27" but could not confirm or deny for Oct 28th. Yes, I know that we know that already.
What he couldn't tell me was whether or not it would be available as a buy one-get one.
Any of you guys with VZW "juice" have any info on this?
Re: new software
See, another one just to give me my fix 8O
Re: Next!
Same here. I bricked it once, but once I got it loaded correctly I like what I see. Plus it cleaned up some of the glitches from .230.
So I need only another 2 - 3 upgrades to kill the time between now and the 28th :wink:
Re: Oct. 28th!
Don't tease me....I've got a dozen rotten eggs and I'll find your house :lol:
Re: Next!
I'm running .230 now. Never even loaded .287. But since VZW won't release the S2, I might as well try this one.
Next!

Re: Leaked Storm2 OS 5.0.0.287
Thanks.....trying to have patience..... :roll:
Re: Leaked Storm2 OS 5.0.0.287
The link is down already. Anybody have it anyplace else?
Re: verizon/google
Who am I kidding? I'm just like a junkie waiting for his next fix.....get the S2 on the market now
Re: Leaked OS's...
I'm a believer as well. I bricked it the first time I installed, but once it was up and running, the performance has been great.
verizon/google
VZW and GOOG announced a new partnership today with the first phones around the end of the year.
If VZW waits much longer for the S2, it may be too late. You figure with Google, there will be more support/apps/updates
Re: "New" Storm Coming?
Since VZW is "giving" away S1's at $49, I guess that's another indication that we're getting close.
Thanks for the heads up.
Re: "New" Storm Coming?
All the info out on the "Deuce" sounds exciting. Anybody have any insight about the release date? I've heard Sept, Oct, and Black Friday. Can anyone narrow that down?
Thanks.
Media converters
Okay, I spent the better part of the week-end converting some old video clips of different formats (RM, wmv, mp4, etc) to play on my storm.
Tried to watch them today on the plane, and couldn't access any of them.
Can anyone suggest a media converter that will work with BB?
Thanks. I need the help.
Re: Any Storm 2 chatter?
Thank you for the help.
Re: Any Storm 2 chatter?
I LOVE the sized and quality of the screen. It took me a week or so to get the typing, but it works for me know.
I am using a borrowed Storm, so I'm holding out for the S2 before I make the purchase.
Thanks for the input!
Re: Any Storm 2 chatter?
Thanks for the heads up!
Any Storm 2 chatter?
Anyone hear anything new about the Storm 2? I would appreciate the updates.
Re: VZ added Apps to my storm
They just showed up on my phone about a week ago. Can I delete them without screwing up my phone?
Re: In mall right now and need your opinions...
Wait for the new storm. I got a storm off craigslist a couple of months ago and I love it. It took me a couple of days to figure out the touch screen, but if you use the internet, the larger screen can't be beat.
I'm getting the new storm when it comes out (hopefully soon).
Need help: OS question
I just got on board the Storm express. I got a used storm from a friend running .75. I upgraded to .132 but now the battery can't hold a charge for more than a day without usage.
Not sure if I should go up (.141) or down to another version. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help.
