Default We are now the ugly duckling of the BB world.

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.

rant over.

Let me see. We got an official update 3 weeks ago, but we're the forgotten? Get over it.

Well, those two little "basic" things you bring up are quite major IMHO. Also don't forget WiFi. That's another "little" thing the S2 brings.

Hang in there I don't think they are going to just ignore Storm 1.

... Also don't forget the improvement of the screen where there are no gaps that dust can build up in.

And OpenGL support which S1 owners also don't get.

Besides, this post is somewhat unnecessary, especially considering that S1 owners have a HIGHER OS than S2 owners.

Enjoy the homescreen icons being able to update...I enjoyed that for all of one day before getting the S2.

But higher does not mean better. .328 is a POS...

I don't know why you aren't going to upgrade to the S2 if you were given the chance. My early upgrade kicks in on December 6 and I'm going to be one of the first people in line for one of those little guys that morning.

The added memory is enough to get me to upgrade. I'm tired of my S1 freezing and deleting appointments, texts, E-mails, etc. due to low memory.

blah blah blah

storm 1 is fine.

i agree though the storm 2 is nothing to write home about...

i actually don't like the click...oh wait...the mush screen they "upgraded" to.

Well if you're that unimpressed, downgrade to .75 and quit crying about it.
Although, I can't promise you won't cry when you realize how terrible .75 is.

Has it been officially announced anywhere that S1 will not get OpenGL or is this just being assumed due to the memory differences with the S2?
