I like stable devices, so its a good thing. As for placebo updates, I'm interested in what's on the horizon , not interested in someone trying to treat me like a ****.
Also people, please don't worry, I'm very relaxed.

I'm currently running 4.7.0.76 and haven't installed .83 yet, although I have downloaded it. Unless a new version leaks soon I will try .83 and take the risk. I'm also shocked by the 9520 rumors - didn't the RIM CEO state that there wasn't enough space in the phone? Furthermore, the Storm was supposed to be exclusive to Verizon and Vodafone along with some others (Bell, Telus) like the iPhone is an AT&T exclusive.

Wonder how many people will be ticked off that the 9520 is supposed to have wifi... I keep meaning to set my laptop up in a PAN, since in theory that should do a slightly slower version of wifi 1mbit v 5 or 20... Anyone else tried this? Originally Posted by fecurtis

how un-Christmassy. So wifi will fit; And is in use on 9520. Hmmm, thought I heard that might be the case, but not sure where I had heard it... Originally Posted by Crucial_Xtreme Ad Lucem

Even though the 9500 and 9530 do not have wifi they both DO have GPS. nowhere does it say that the 9520 has GPS... sounds like a trade off...
Most people think going from a Storm to a Curve is a downgrade... but in reality going from a Storm to anything is an UPGRADE!!! - 12-25-2008, 09:52 PM #22 Nowhere does it say it doesn't either. Originally Posted by Clover86

Did they speed up the scrolling or flicker? that really needs to improving

You're full of ****. It WAS a space issue. Quote: Originally Posted by fecurtis

He said that the decision came down to a question of space. “We have 3D tools that allow us to pack every available millimetre. There’s no room left. The speaker is here, the antenna radiation field is there, then you have the camera, the flash, the microphone, the head set, there’s just no room left in there,” he said."

So I was right - it's an issue of space. Thus, I think that any Storm 9520, if it ever turns out to exist (which I think is highly dubious) will either be larger or have less features to accommodate the wifi chip. - 12-25-2008, 11:01 PM #25 Does the 9520 have a CDMA radio though? I don't believe it does (but I could be wrong). That would mean that the space where the CDMA radio exists on the 9530 would be a perfect place to put wifi if it is absent on the 9520. As to why it isn't on the 9500.. no clue. Originally Posted by 1magine
