    Hey guys I was wondering how well does a 9500 run on AT&T? I have two lines, one of which is running an 8900 with the other running an 8310. I was thinking of getting an unlocked 9500 to replace the 8310 but wasn't sure how well the storm is running these days (what problems is it still having if any?) I figure the storm is about to get pretty cheap with the storm 2 coming out. Any comments or input you may have would be appreciated.

    I am running a 9530 on AT&T right now. It was difficult to find an Os that my Storm actually liked. It was constantly dropping from EDGE to edge, and that wasn't good for my BBM or browsing habits. Other then that it has been working great on ATT. Pin me if you have anymore questions about it.

    Can the 9500 use At&t 3g or will it only be 2G?

    What OS did you find works best on the storm on EDGE? We are having the same edge/EDGE problems on T-Mobile.

    Hi I saw that you said you have a STORM working with AT&T. I purchased a STORM and unlocked it to work on att's network. However, I cannot get the EDGE to lock in. It may go to EDGE for a while but when I open the browser, it reverts down to edge.

    What configuration are you using? I've been trying just about everything and no luck. Any help is appreciated!

    Anyone still have questions about getting all your features to work check out this link, the only thing it misses is delete old service books.

    V7.95/7.95b/7.95c - BlackberryOS.com

    use 7.95b (9530) 7.95 with the 151 radio then either swap-a-radio or shrink-a-os to swap radio file to 5.0.0.140 and download the .exe its self installing

    I hate to jump in in the middle of this thread, but I believe vinny8028 is mistaken.

    The 9530 will NOT use AT&T 3G because it doesn't support the proper frequency. Verizon opted to use the EU 3G GSM frequency since that's where their customers would be using their GSM radio, overseas.

    Just the fact that your phone says EDGE and not 3G should've been your first hint.

    I saw your screenshot. My STORM gets EDGE but goes away when i open an app that uses the data connection.

    i.e.: if I open my browser, the EDGE turns into edge.... this is killing me! I would love to keep my STORM but cant get it to work properly on EDGE
