Corner of screen doesn't click - does yours?
- The lower left corner (in portrait positioning) of the screen doesn't click. It still activates, but doesn't have the click feeling.
Before I take it back, I wanted to know if all 4 corners of your Storm clicks properly?
The more people that can give me a quick report, the easier to make my decision. Dang, I wish I created a poll.
Uniform click everywhere
Diminished click at one or more corner (but still registers action)
No click at one or more corners (but still registers action)
No click, no response at corners

- All of my corners feel great. If yours doesn't click at all I would be worried. I think I would be worried about a weak click also. I think the clicking is suppose to be pretty uniform throughout.11-23-08 01:42 AMLike 0
- Bottom left AND bottom right do not click AT ALL... it doesn't register either. It just feels completely solid, which is ridiculous since there are buttons that appear in those locations and I can't click them...
Going back to store tomorrow to see if I can exchange it: do you think I will encounter any issues/hassle exchanging it? it should be a pretty clear hardware issue right?
On that note, my gf also got a storm today, and hers clicks fine throughout. I noticed that in the "about" menu, her storm has a later "Branding Version" than mine. Is branding version = hardware version? If so, maybe the earlier versions (such as mine) all suffer from this issue...?11-23-08 02:10 AMLike 0 - Bottom left AND bottom right do not click AT ALL... it doesn't register either.

However, you might find it hard to exchange since there is a short supply at the moment.
I'm not sure about the "branding version." The branding version number is a relatively new thing. I think it is only displayed on os 4.7 maybe in 4.6 and 4.5 as well. What's your branding version? 1.0.105.46 seems to be the standard.11-23-08 02:21 AMLike 0 - is the 30 day policy valid for any place that sells Verizon phones? I ask because I bought mine at a store that sells cell phones from a variety of networks, and they also sell stuff like DISH network, so it wasn't specifically a Verizon store.
My branding version is 1.0.105.147.
My gf's branding version is 1.0.105.160. and hers works PERFECTLY.11-23-08 02:31 AMLike 0 - yah , and i also called verizon and said my lower half of the screen stoped clicking and therfor making my storm unuseable i need it for work ASAP and they said sorry to hear that the closest date they can send one out is the 15th ish but the new customers will take priority. this is bull ****.11-23-08 02:36 AMLike 0

From what I can tell the branding version is different on all phones. 3 Storm's I've checked all have a different branding so IDK what its purpose is.11-23-08 02:41 AMLike 0 - Wtf, my branding version is 1.0.105.7 (way different) according to the about section in my phone. The bottom left hand corner barely has a clicking sensation but it still clicks. I just need to press it a tad bit harder than the rest. If I could switch it out with a perfectly clicking all around unit that'd be ideal but it doesn't bother me THAT much. I'm wondering if it just needs to break in...maybe not though.11-23-08 03:00 AMLike 0
- BTW, there's a large black gap on the bottom about a cm thick that isn't supposed to click at all so don't count the bottom left hand corner from there, it needs to start where the actual colors displaying starts.11-23-08 03:02 AMLike 0

- If it is like my Razr from Verizon, one could still get it repaired/replace/refurbished/whatever under Rim's warranty but could still get it done via Verizon without actually sending it to Rim.11-23-08 10:06 AMLike 0

- Verizon Blackberry support said they hadn't heard of any problems yet (start calling guys and gals).
Had a guy at the store look at it and he documented that it didn't click, but thought that it would be quicker for me to call CS....WRONG. CS said it would be best to have it replaced at the store since they will get them in at the same time as he could send me one. No big deal, since it will be Dec. 15th or so anyway.
So, off I go to the VZ store tomorrow to have them order a replacement for me.
Good thing I didn't order PeekaWho yet.11-23-08 07:11 PMLike 0 - I had the same problem and went to Verizon today. They put in the order for a replacement.
They charged what I paid back onto my account
I wait for the new device
I bring it to any Verizon store and have them exchange the new device
And take away what money they put on my account as well as the broken Storm.
The only thing is that I won't be receiving the new one till on or just before December 15th. I feel Verizon will give new costumers priority over fixing their mistake. That's just my opinion though. Hope this helps you guys.11-24-08 03:17 PMLike 0 - Mine clicks poorly in the top left in portrait mode (bottom left in my normal landscape). It still registers and there's little to click there so I'm not that concerned. I have insurance so if it ever ceases to work I'll take it back.
All the edges are a little more difficult to push but all register ok.11-24-08 03:23 PMLike 0
