    Hi..

    I bought a Blackberry Storm 9530 few months back and it came with the v4.7 OS.

    It all worked nice till date, but 3 days back, I saw three things stopped working.

    Here are they,

    1. The S and W are completely dead while on LANDSCAPE mode. But they work fine on Portrait mode. WHATS THE STORY ?


    2. Im not able to click on DIAL PAD, also not on my CALL LOGS panel. Only Contacts Book is clickable and other 2 are completely dead. WHY WHY ?


    3. The first word should always automatically get a capital letter, but its always starting with small caps. WHY ? WHY ?
    Then I came to this forum and saw some good reviews on the v5 797 build.

    I then wiped the whole device and installed the v5.0.797 and whoa, lots of enhancements and bug fixes, but alas, those 2 problems are not solved, which are the main.

    Im not sure, what is causing the problem.
    I have already tried everything possible and still nothing. Tried batery pull for like 150 times, still its f****ked there..

    So, whats the solution to this ?

    How much to replace it ?
    Any idea, how much it costs ?

    This is my first experience with a mobile phone getting messed in my 9 years.
    F**k, Blackberry is a sh*t!

    Better to stay with a Nokia 1600 rather than carrying this bag of sh*t.

    I have to get this right and then sell it.
    Will get an iPhone 4 this week.

    Sounds like dead spots in the digitizer. Flip the landscape so the hard keys are on the other side. S and W work now?

    yes, it works when flipped.

    Only that one squared area is dead.

    You can see the marked area on my screenshot :
