So I bought an unlocked storm from a 3rd party off of ebay. The phone works......... sort of. It almost acts like its not unlocked.
So to start, at times internet won't work on it. I can tell when internet is going to work or not, by whether the network indicator is uppercase or lower case. If internet is functioning it will read EDGE and if not it says edge.
However, even when the letters are caps, I sometimes can't get to the blackberry app world and other apps display errors such as "Could not connect please ensure you have sufficient network coverage." One app that freezes, Pandora radio, tells me what its doing at the bottom. It fails when it says "testing MDS connection." After the connection fails, the letters aren't caps and it takes about 5 minutes to reset and then I get on the web again.
Also, there are some apps that are missing such as blackberry maps and blackberry messenger. I've checked to see that they aren't hidden and I can see that they are installed when I look on my desktop and when I look into the applications tab under settings.
Lastly, why does the phone only work on edge?
help? I've read that reseting the APN could solve the problem, but I have no idea what that is or how to do it.

Reason: MISSPELLINGS
I guess there's something to following all the instructions on the forum for this...... So for those of you that need help, go to the forum title "How to get all features on blackberry storm 95XX". Follow the instructions on there, and you'll be golden.
