- I noticed that CX mentioned 'gold code' in the .100 hybrid thread. Any chance anyone can elobrate on this? What is it? What does it do? Is it a complete overhaul of the old programming language? Basically any pertinent information pertaining to 'gold code' would be appreciated.02-11-09 06:46 AMLike 0

- I dont think its anything specific. I think he was basically saying when the gold (proper working awesome) code is implemented, the storm will be what people want. I dont think its any magic/special code02-11-09 07:36 AMLike 0
- Typically "gold code" means final/shipping in programmer lingo. When a game/program is done, it's said to have "gone gold".
So, without having seen the comment in question to put it into proper context, I would guess that he's saying parts of .100 will remain unchanged when the next official release comes out.
Which is actually a good thing. If they've got one or two aspects of the OS pinned down how they want it, it means they can spend more time focusing on the remaining aspects of it. But this is all speculation without having seen the comment in question or the context surrounding it.02-11-09 08:19 AMLike 0 - EDIT: to see it in context:

They will get it right. I know it's taken some time, but this isn't baking a cake you know? It's actually quite difficult. But the Gold Code is coming. And the device will be everything you thought when it was purchased. Just try and have some patience.02-11-09 08:54 AMLike 0 - I think the hybrid crashes more then .8x did. But for some strange reason, people like it... even when they don't have a functioning camera in one version. I'll take .99 over any Hybrid version to date.02-11-09 08:56 AMLike 0
- CX's comment below. Im really hoping he will drop in and provide a quick explanation as to what he meant. I have never heard the term before.

look above @ post #7 for the thread...02-11-09 08:57 AMLike 0 - Okay, so it's similar to what he's been saying all along about the Storm, just again hinting that we're rapidly approaching a new official release. I'm quite sure he doesn't know exactly when that will hit, but I bet he can offer up an educated speculation if he wanted. Though I wouldn't blame him for keeping quiet the way some people here can get. You'd swear if you could see them, there'd be foam coming out of their mouths. And they take everything literally, even if you say it MIGHT be this or COULD be that, they'll just ignore the indefinites and take it as something WILL be released on such and such date. Just like they glossed over the "target" aspect of the BGR article a few days ago.02-11-09 08:59 AMLike 0

- How is it overly simple? When people buy a product that has been hyped like this was, it needs to deliver plain and simple. Its like they didnt even do any QA before launch.02-11-09 09:02 AMLike 0

Myself and surely many others, given the chance to have the phone in November 08 or February/March 09, (whenever this 'gold code' gets released), would still have chosen to get this phone 3 months earlier, despite the glitches and bugs in the OS.02-11-09 10:25 AMLike 0 - It's overly simple in the fact that it only considers the finished product from a hindsight perspective. It doesn't take into account the many many complexities involved in designing a device like the Storm. I went over them in a bit greater detail over in the rants and raves subforum on the graphics discussion. It's too early for me to go get a link, so maybe later, or maybe some kind soul will do it for us.02-11-09 10:25 AMLike 0
- Hummmm well IMO .75/.76 version was stable, everything worked with a few exceptions. it wasn't till the beta leaks came out the instability seemed to appear. With cameras not saving, VSOD/TSOD, Media card errors ect. Then the whining started about how unstable the Storm was. RIM is taking their time, and I am confident the next official release will be a significant improvement. And RIM is not the only company that has had problems with the first generation of a new product. It is a common problem with first of model year cars to have significant issues, and how long have they been making cars??? You would think they would get that right by now. The Apple thing was far from perfect at the start, give the Storm a chance too.
