I've searched all around the storm forum/s and have found no mention of this. I've got a 9530 that I updated to(as the topic says) 5.0.0.328(also on verizon obviously). And I love most of the upgrade EXCEPT the weird thing the navigator is doing now(and one other thing). Usually, when I use it... I've got it plugged into my tape adapter for my radio in my car, so that I can hear the directions through my speakers. Its usually pretty sweet. But since the upgrade, when the talk feature begins to give my directions, it begins in an ascending volume. This causes a problem because I can't hear the first part of the directions. Its just really crappy because by the time its nicely audible its already at the 4th or 5th word. Anyone else have this issue?

That thing just plain works, no reboots or other bs to deal with.

I don't care if anyone says I was doing it wrong or not. I was a supporter of the Storm and have stood by it for many months. My last two refurbs came in and both promptly stopped working withing 2 days. Both were loaded with .328 and had no 3rd party apps installed other than google maps(on the first one). Random reboots during calls, sms issues, and the frigging buttons fell off on the last one. This phone is a POS and I can't deal with it anymore. I have had it since day one and .65. It is so not worth the effort, I'm done. I'm going old school tomorrow and getting a callus on my thumb again. ]]> h20work http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=368382 http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=367701&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:11:48 GMT I recently used an un-named cell unlocking company to unlock my Blackberry Storm 9530.

Does that really happen or did I inadvertently use an incompetent company.

If I did, could anyone recomend a good on that won't charge my $20? ]]> ChristopherGibson http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=367701 http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=366442&goto=newpost Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:29:01 GMT Here is my experience so far.

Please tell me if I am missing any options that alleviate the cons of one browser or add the pros of one to another. Feel free to mash my face in as long as you're educating me on my ignorance of any of the following programs in the process. :) My goal here is to learn something about each browser so that I can have a good browsing experience on this phone.

Blackberry browser.

Pros:

Integrates well with phone. meaning,

a) When I hit URL bar, keyboard displays.

b) Works with the clickscreen.

c) I can hit menu to copy and paste from the URL bar without using that abortion of a text entering method I must use with opera mini.

Cons:

Takes 3 minutes to load pages opera mini will load in 15 seconds. Is slower than a Pentium II running XP.

Opera Mini 4.2

Pros:

Actually loads pages within reasonable timeframe.

Cons:

a) Sometimes, when typing a URL, if I hit o twice(as in google), p will show up. This has happened enough times for me to know I was not accidentally hitting P. I watched o light up as p appeared. It thinks I am using a 9 key phone where I hit o twice to get to P.

b) Keyboard does not show when I go to type in the URL bar.

c) Menu key does not allow me to paste in URL bar unless I somehow get it to use the "old" non-inline input method.

d) Requires I touch a url for a second instead of working with clickwheel. Slows clicking.

Bolt.

Pros:

a) Faster than BB browser.

Cons:

a) Can't paste into URL bar.

b) Fonts are utterly disgusting compared to opera and default browser.

c) Is a royal pain in the *** to touch URLs. I am always touching the wrong one, or not touching what I am touching. This doesn't happen in opera or bb browser. No integration with clickscreen.

Opera Mini 5 beta.

Pros:

a) Unlike Opera Mini 4.2, the keyboard will be hidden then pop up when I click the URL bar. INTUITIVE!

Cons:

a) WON'T ACTUALLY BROWSE!! I will hit the URL bar, type google.com, and hit enter. It won't go anywhere or do anything. I have to enter google.com into a speed dial page, then hit that page in speed dial, for it to visit the website. Otherwise, it is utterly unable to browse. I cannot simply type a URL into the URL bar, hit enter, and have it browse. ]]> l.a.rossmann http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=366442 http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=366437&goto=newpost Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:19:41 GMT I can't stand the new voice dialing...it can't understand anything I am saying...i was using my bluetooth headset and just started yelling profanities at the thing...i was walking down the street and someone must have thought I had Tourettes or something... ]]> doctorg23 http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=366437 http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=365889&goto=newpost Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:20:31 GMT It seems to strange.

The Storm used to get all the love, and now it seems like we have been forgotten. I faithfully check crackberry for updates and leaks for our storms......but ever since the 5.0.0.328 software, we have been totally neglected. :( this sucks!

there are still plenty of issues with 328; nothing truly majot, but there are issues to fix, but there seems to be no sense of urgency to take care of the dimishing storm 1 user. It is easier to get us to upgrade to a new phone. I, for one, have no plans to go for the Storm 2. it is basically a storm 1 with a better click screen and more memory. I'll wait for a phone with signifacant upgrades to the processor and OS.

Dang, I wish RIM would just put out an OS that worked all they way for S1! How many of you are still waiting for that to happen? Do you think S2 owners will get it first because they seem to have lots of issues hardware and software wise reading the posts. Some people are working on 3rd or 4th S2 and still loving it!

I was a happy user (mostly happy) of Storm 1, recently my BB said goodbye to me, so i called Verizon tech support. After few steps of troubleshooting, they said there is nothing else could be done, and they sending me a replacement Storm. Three days later a got my shipment from Verizon, opened the box and found STORM 2 inside:confused: It has 're-certified ' sticker on it, has no battery and other accessories, but it was Storm 2. Likely i could use my S1 battery and charger, and most of applications I purchased on
