Default .83 and holding (until something prettier comes along)

As a long time Windows Mobile User (5.0-6.1) and now a self confessed crackberry addict (and no, the first one wasn't free) I completely dig my Blackberry Storm.

The upgrade tonight to .83 (Xmas present to me) was uneventful but, appears to add to stability & snappiness. Video is working now. I could record video before, but when I tried to play it back, it said that the file was unrecognized... OK, that's wierd, since it was created by the same device. Anyways... it appears to be working now.

I can't tell you all how much I appreciate the support that is around for blackberry's and how much I like the device.

With the update to .83, I opted to NOT reinstall VZ Navigator as Blackberry Maps and Google Maps suffice (and not for 9.99 a month). I have heard the groans of people complaining that Google Maps isn't GPS enabled. Hey, I'm stoked that triangulation works on this device with Google Maps. Has anyone dealt with WM lately? My job supplies me with a new(ish) HTC 6800 that boasts GPS... which doesn't work AT ALL, even with updates and workarounds... and guess what? GMaps doesn't even work with triangulation. No nothing. The Storm is such a breath of fresh air for me. And man, the email push works wonderfully. I'm gonna go get another hit now.

Thanks for the help and support with my new Storm...
