    Does it usually take a while for it to boot up?

    Yeah, mine took probably 10 minutes. I started to freak, but patience is a virtue.

    glad you got it worked out. just remember this forum has been around a while so it has TONS of information about dozens and dozens of problems. If something comes up it has a big chance of already being out there for you to get through it.

    I love it when people get real smart with other people like they've never made a mistake before.

    Glad you got it working again David

    I like reading the threads about the Storm I dont post a ton but really enjoy the info I pick up from this forum. However I am absolutly sick of smug little pri**s lording their supposide superior forum etiquite over people. Why be such a tool? is it because you can? My guess is that you wouldnt do this to someones face especially if they were bigger than you. Get a life learn some social skills or at least try and be a nice person. Happy holidays!

    me too man. this storm is my first blackberry (well now second). I bricked my first one like you did too... I took it to the Store FLIPPING out haha and they sent me a new one, but being 20 and knowledgeable in tech savyness, i came home and searched and fixed it. that way i had a phone until they sent me the new one. no worries, just search and follow step by step and you will be fine.

    *one recommendation--I called BB and the guy on the phone actually read off of CB just how to do it, so it's legit on here, but the one thing he left me with was to always download the new OS or update and install it into your comp and then use DM to install it on your phone. he said never to let DM look for, download, and install updates all at once...things happen...like 507.
