This thread is to determine whether the Storm's made in Mexico are faulty and who is having problems with their phones.

To find out where yours was made, please open battery cover, pull battery and it will say on the sticker there.

I'll go first:

Storm 9530
Provider: Bell in Canada
No issues to report

[Veritas89]

Storm 9530
Verizon
Made in Canada

No problems other than lag every once in awhile

[gtpx02]

Storm 9530
Verizon
also made in Canada, no issues.

My second storm is also a canadian one and been replaced once for screen issues. other than that no issues

[collin16]

isnt there already like 50,000 threads on this?

[Gelobster]

9530
Verizon
Made in canada

No trouble except the typical lag especially while typing.

My girlfriend is on her second mexican 9530. The first one kept restarting randomly.

I also noticed that the surepress feels different between canadian and mexican. The mexican I'd very clicky while the canadian is firmer and feels more durable.

Is there? Cause I searched high and low and couldn't find one that just deals with where it's made and the issues it's having. This thread is research for the Storm's birthplace and whether or not it has issues.... My bet is the Mexican ones are faulty and I'm out to prove it based on user input.


Count so far:
Canadian - 4 users, no issues except for slight lag time
Mexican - 1 user (gf of original poster) on 2nd Mexicano and it has issues too

[toxman]

[brndn.smth]

[Audizine]

i don't think it matters where it was made...
anyways... mine is from mexico and no problems at all... besides software issues

[wmc]

9530
Mexico

no dust under the screen
battery life is very good
seems very well made
several software issues

[dcsr23]

I think I've got a record
Verizon

4 Mexican
2 for clicking issues
1 for muffled sound
1 for rebooting and loss of network

Currently on #5 from Hungary...and it's perfect.

[gtpx02]

one from hungary, i guess its limitless on where they will make these phones now a days.

i agree though i think the software is probably the biggest issue and hopefully the Official New OS will resolve alot of this, but you know as well as i do if you make it perfect you have no reason to go and complain or spend money to fix it therefore RIM or Verizon will not be able to get as much outta you as they like.

Or maybe i am just a dumb arse, yeah i am probably just a dumb arse

[Pow Pow]

The last two I had were from Mexico

Several software issues with the 1st one.

Second one started to give me issues.


I'm waiting for my new Storm to come.

[mateugbur]

I had a Mexico for a few weeks that gave me some issues, other than the phone rebooting randomly the screen was not responsive and the clicking felt really smushy. I exchanged it and ended up with a Canadian made model and no issues.

[gtstang462002]
