- I have a perma-***** now. I can't wait for this thing! I am camping out Friday before I get on the road.
I thought it was my Xbox 360 controller creating the fuzz noise. Ha...
p.s. If anyone here is near Michigan, come to Port Huron. I will be performing all weekend at the U Lounge and would be happy to show anyone in person my new gem11-18-08 03:58 AMLike 0 - Did anyone else notice that the Storm took about 10 seconds to exit the visual voicemail screen after he pressed the escape button (see at about the 5:00 mark). This does not bode well for RIM and Verizon. I'm going to give this phone a shot, but my gut tells me it'll be returned soon after purchase and an iphone will be in my future.11-18-08 07:42 AMLike 0
- I'd say the OS version he is using there is likely .65 - seemed pretty much exactly the same as my storm in terms of both speed and content. I've been really happy with mine so far, few little problems and crahses/freezes but nothing I am not more than used to coming from WinMo devices.
I saw people mentioning an OS update on friday, will I be able to get that here in UK too? Whats the procedure for updating, e.g. where will I find it (desktop manager update?) etc.11-18-08 07:58 AMLike 0 - I'd say the OS version he is using there is likely .65 - seemed pretty much exactly the same as my storm in terms of both speed and content.

- I guess we'll all be finding out about that. But if RIM's track record with OS updates for the last generation of BBs is any indicator (Curve, Pearl & 88xx), the 9500 & 9530 will have separate OS updates.11-18-08 09:50 AMLike 0

- Thanks. It looks good to me thus far in all the videos I've seen. My local Verizon says no demo phones until Friday but I'll probably be better off seeing the real thing. I can only hope I can type on more comfortably since I seem to be unable to do so on iPhones and other BBs like the Bold that I tried.
(First to say it's me and not the phones and practice would cure me I'm sure ;=) )
And yes there were audio issues when I listened as well.

Of course I kid, good review since the web page he accidentally opened was his blog "the apple core" a mac/iphone rich in content blog, so he definitely played it straight.
I sooo can not wait till Friday....11-18-08 11:16 AMLike 0 -
Someone said that it was somebody with a T-mobile phone and their weird frequencies they use. Plus they was doin sorta live demo as people text them question's as the went along. Also they have more videos of the demo they did at their page too... The Apple Core | ZDNet.comLast edited by Kholdstare; 11-18-08 at 11:25 AM. Reason: added more videos

11-18-08 12:25 PMLike 0 - I noticed in this video that the micro usb doesn't have a cover. I know my env has a little door to keep out dust and crap, and I really like it. Does the storm not having this pose as a problem? Or is it like that on all the other BB devices and isn't really something to worry about?

- There is a scroll indicator, a tiny arrow in the bottom or top right of the screen within the menus if they can scroll11-18-08 01:15 PMLike 0
- great vid... i was wondering about the Visual Voicemail... i thought that VZW said it wouldnt be ready for launch. Has that changed? Is it going to work out of the box? Will VZW charge extra for it? Will it be similar to the iphone voicemail?11-18-08 01:18 PMLike 0
