Default I picked up my storm and...

I click the back button to wake it up. I see an arrow on the right side of the screen pointing up, and another pointing down. This shows for 20 seconds before it finally loads up where I was before the LCD went off, which was viewing an email with an image in it.

.328. Only third party apps are google maps, youmail, and opera mini.

The scrolling is terribly slow. I try to get to my calendar but there is a delay with everything.

I get a message on BBM from the ringtone noise. I go to click messages over and over. No dice. I turn the phone to landscape to check out if it froze. The screen orientation changes 20 seconds later.

The thing had been working fine all day. I swear this thing has a mind of its own. I concede. Battery pull time. I wish I didn't have to do a battery pull every other day.

Why don't you replace it if you can? These problems your having have mostly been taken care of by 5.0 for most NOT all. Apparently your phone is a bad one!

I've replaced it enough times by now to not believe another replacement would be productive. It's because I was viewing a large email with an image. Doing such things on this phone give me a 15% chance of it freezing up.

My friend has a similar issue. If you call him precisely as he touches and clicks a song to play: if the events line up perfectly, the phone turns to mush.

Spending $179.99 on a storm 2 seems a bit drastic. The storm will have to earn its respect before I put more $ into it.

I feel like I'm wasting my breath, but....

If I had spent any amount of money for anything, I would take it back until I got a working product. I understand it is a pain in the ***. There are plenty of storms that do work the way they are supposed to. You must have bad luck! Unless you take it back I'd have to say its hard to genuinely feel sorry for you.


Posted by a storm in perfect working order...... Good luck!
