    Pretty much nothing! The Storm 1 is still getting updates though!

    are you all still happy with it? Tossed mine aside after just 5 weeks. That's a record for me; Storm made it a full 6 months.

    running hybrids? Never used a hybrid on any of my BBs, but I think S2 would be the exception; the officials after 517 suck.
    and yes, for some reason Storm still gets updates, not many, but a few have sufaced

    I'm not a fan of hybrids either and have never used them. It would be nice to get a .900 series release/leak. I'm kind of going through update withdrawl.

    Are you refering to speed, or overall? I have been happy to upgrade every time. There have been instances where I have later regreted it, but those were with my 9530. I do realize there are definate areas for improvement in each release, which is why I'm praying for something in the .900s.

    Overall. Storm's 419 was a huge improvement over the laughable 328 (320 for S2 and equally laughable). With 451 is snappy, BT works, calls aren't garbled, and the battery lasts all day with heavy BBM and browsing. SaskTel's 517 is a winner too.

    While there isn't much new lately, I think Lyrical's hybrid is phenomenal. I had installed a hybrid back in the spring for the first time, and it was labor intensive and complicated, but Lyrical's hybrid practically installed itself! After a few battery pulls and about 48 hours to settle, I am thrilled with my S2. I have not tried any leaks, though.

    S2 with a Lyricidal hybrid (see sig) and aside from having to use multiple browsers to get things done this device is outstanding.

    Should try a hybrid. If it doesn't fix the problem at least his breath will smell better.

    LOL, love this!! If you don't use the crappy OS' VZW released, or the crappy browser included in the aforementioned crappy OS', you can use the device.

    He's just running themes and utilities on his puppy. I never run such things on mine, and therefore it's flawless!

    FWIW I'm using TbayTel's .713; never bothered trying VZW after I heard they were the same thing.
