    I have to be honest...
    I was sick of at&T and the iphone all together...
    So i decided to switch over to a BBstorm 9530/...
    I was so excited to try one but to my dissappointment,, the storm has been nothing but a nightmare
    With its slow performance and constant resetting... id have to say its a piece of junk.... and thats being real nice about it.. i really wanted to give the device a chance before a bashed it, but there isnt one thing i could say positive about the phone...
    Ive tried all the leaked OS's and all the updates known to BB's...
    And nothing...
    I really miss my iphone now and want to go back to it..(not AT&T though)but i cant even get anyone to buy the storm from me either...
    I know i am gonna get reemed for saying all this but... i just cant understand why the device doesnt work properly and as smooth as it should.....ANYONE WANT TO BUY IT ?

    Yeah if you read my post i specifacally said that i was a straight up iphone user before.. i wanted to make the switch because i thought the storm looked awesome and looked great on paper.. but after using it for over a month,, it has giving me nothing but ****...
    Im not saying APPLE is better im just saying i wish the BB would work as smooth as my iphone use too

    You probably just got a dud, mine is working fine, no issues (though I am on Vodafone, and in Australia) seems most of the phones here are good. Why do the American versions seem to have such troubles?

    your one of the "unlucky" people

    my storm works just as advertised and is barely noticeable that its slow
    on the other hand my brothers storm is very slow and hes also running .75 and i have more apps and more memory and all used up.

    and im still running .75....
    never had a random reboot. never have freezes.

    maybe im just lucky? lol

    Man, you are an *****. To compare a phone to Jesus who was the Son of GOD is just ridiculous. Second, what does a phone have to do with the Storm = man? What, a man can take more pain and aggravation and suffering?
