    I just got my storm for couple days, today I notice that sometimes I had to press on a button many times for it to register. I had my phone on landscape mode and trying to press into options at the bottom of the screen, i kept pressing it slow or fast and it just wouldn't go into options.

    Also pressing the screen in the center there is a click feel, but at the edge of the screens there is no click and it's difficult to select or click stuff at the edge.

    Is that response thing just an software issue or is my phone defective?
    Wondering if anyone else has these problems.

    I'm running on the official 109
    v4.7.0.76 (platform 4.0.0.96)



    have my touchscreen settings set to 100, 100, 6

    Sometimes it takes time to press, like its loading. But with the new update it gets better

    i have no idea what version it is. i go into the options about, it shows me
    v4.7.0.76 (platform 4.0.0.96)

    when i went into the blackberry site the download for the telus blackberry storm update the site shows this:

    Software For BlackBerry� Storm(TM) smartphone

    BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.7.0.109 (Multilanguage)

    Package Version: 4.7.0.109
    Consisting of:
    Applications: 4.7.0.76
    Software Platform: 4.0.0.96
    File name: 9530AMEA_PBr4.7.0_rel109_PL4.0.0.96_A4.7.0.76_Telu s.exe
    File size: 102.85MB


    i said 109 because that's what i think people are refering to on this site right?

    its stupid and confusing because the package version is 109, it consists of the applications which is .76, and software platform .96

    so you tell me which goddamn version i'm on, and that seems to be the newest i can get unless someone could tell me where else I could get newer software to download.


    where are all the third party and support for this phone, the ipod touch/iphone has that appulo site where you can download all the free apps. It's so damn hard to find free apps for the blackberry storm.

    I'm pretty sure that is .76, not to mention the file size is just over 100MB. My .02 cents.

    Well, you are currently running .76 which is an Official OS for the 9500

    You can upgrade your OS to a beta by looking in the Beta OS forum at the top of the main Storm page. Many threads are there to help you upgrade with ease.

    Also, you can go in the Third Party Apps forum also located at the top of the main Storm page to get numerous free useful and useless apps

    .76 is the Bell (I'm sure Telus as well) official for the 9530, as it wouldn't work for his phone if it were for the 9500. That is the latest official OS from the Carrier. Some don't want to mess with the leaks, which is what .109 is, and so they stay with official releases from their carriers. My advice to anyone interested in doing this is, only do it if you are familiar with loading software and "tinkering" with stuff like this. It's not hard, but if you search the forums, you'll read TONS of threads about people trying to do updates with the leak OS's and it fails miserably for them. I personally have redone my phone about 10+ times so far and only 1 failure and that due to my messing with the files. But I got it working again, so no biggie.

    Read the threads on how to update and what not and then see if you have the gumption to do it.

    thx, I have no problem messing with this crap, i did my psp, ipod touch, i even did the gps fix already for this phone.

    just that i'm confuse as to how new the official software was that's all. if i didn't need to use the leaked i'll wait for the official but sometimes the official (especially the carrier specific) might not update very often.

    and like I said onn the blackberry site under telus carrier. it shows this software package i installed is .109 but people here tell me it's just .76

    so i guess now i have to go into leaks.
