If you do BOGO they give you two 100 rebates?

Just got my Storm2 today at the Verizon store. So far so good. Seamless sync with my old BB. New Storm2 is beautiful. Quick, intuitive typing, great screen. Only problem (so far) is that my password keeper did not sync well and now will not allow me access to all of my stored passwords. Any ideas?

Not sure if this is a problem, but when i turn my network connection off and leave wifi on i don't receive emails and am unable to send/receive BBMs...web browsing works fine, though...

I'm almost positive you are gonna have to just re do it from scratch

Sounds like a bad PIN... although I'm not sure if that is impossible. Try to resend your registration again.

Bad PIN? What exactly does that mean? I've been chatting with the girl for some time on it with no issues...i just cant chat over wifi...i will try the re-registration thing. Standby...

UPDATE: Ok, so i re-reigstred with the network...it says im registered. The wifi icon is grayed out...according to the manuel this means that i cannot access blackberry services via wifi...which explains the problem, but how do you allow your wifi to access blackberry services?! (it doesn't say)

I just got my Storm 2...upgraded from 8130 pearl and love it...but the one thing that is actually killing me and would love help with is how to turn off the auto complete when i type in either format of landscape or portrait qwerty...is that possible? i just would rather use multi-tap rather than suretype and when i click multi-tap i get put into the old school phone keyboard...help????

My understanding, and correct me if Im wrong, but if you are using wi fi with your provider network OFF, then you won't get any data from blackberry (BBM, EMAIL, etc). You're on your home network which isnt blackberry.

Can you have both on at the same time? Then you'll be on data from home (much faster) and still be able to use Blackberry services.

Sal...in some vids I've seen you can make the typing experience more like an iPod touch (and that phone of which we do not speak of)...I haven't had any luck getting it do perform that way yet..suggestions?

Only complaint I've had so far is that the typing seems a little "mushier" than I thought it would be.

Correct.

WiFi is WiFi. It's not related to the BIS/BES network whatsoever. If your provider network is off, then what you have in your hand is more of a tiny netbook, not a phone.

I can't seem to get youtube to work. I keep getting an error saying that the server is either blocked or unresponsive. Other than that, excellent phone.

This works on my Bold, but the Storm2 is not like this. If i disable mobile network i get all my emails and whatnot over wifi. Did Verizon cripple this? There's a map for that my @$$, i get zero service in Blanco, TX where their maps says i should have 3G.

Check the Tips and Tricks booklet provided with the phone...it says if the wifi symbol is white then you are able to receive emails and BBM via WiFi...if it is grayed out you are not...

I'm on the phone with Blackberry Tier 1 support now, the guy hasn't said it's not possible...i'm on hold while he does a bit of research...
