How many of you Storm 1 owners feel left high and dry?
- [QUOTE=Masahiro;4948208]I don't know about you, but with this OS I have installed, the Storm feels "finished", as in, there are no major outstanding issues other than a few bugs here and there. I mean, if the memory is stable, battery life is good and everything else functions like it should, what more can you ask for from a discontinued device? It's not like the new OS updates really introduce anything major anyways. It'll probably mostly be the same until OS6.
Will we even get OS6? I mean, I like I'm sure many others stuck it out with the S1 and were patient with VZW and RIM to improve our phone instead of simply returning it like millions of others. How do they repay us? By coming out with the S2 which is fine EXCEPT that they have negated the S1 ever existed. It's absolutely not right and I feel everyone's pain.

Also, OS5 may not be a "godsend" for the Tour, but imagine not having it at all! I mean, if OS5 isn't a big deal, then a few updates when you already have OS5 should be even less significant.04-06-10 04:04 PMLike 0
- The tour 2 or bold as they are going to call it, is gonna be release around the first of June, it won't be long before they say "bye bye to the tour". And time well only tell if vzw does tour owners the way they done storm one owners, feeling like they didn't get their moneys worth.

On the plus side, it's the only thing in the world that counters inflation and becomes cheaper over time. On the other hand, everything you buy will become obsolete at one point or another
With that said, the Storm is by no means "obsolete". How much different is the Storm2 software compared to the Storm1? How much further "ahead" are they? It seems like the latest official patch released by Verizon has a lot of glitches and nothing much in terms of actual features added. I could be wrong though.04-06-10 05:09 PMLike 0 - Well, new models always come out. I feel worse that the S2 didn't show enough improvement.
Right now I just feel anxious. Anxious for the HTC Incredible with hd video, 8MP camera and 320mb of app storage and Android 2.1 goodness.

On days that it works, it rocks; on days when I am doing multiple battery pulls I hate it. I think they should have done something for the Storm 1 owners, when the Storm 2 was released. I know and agree with people who feel we were not owed anything, but I think it would have been the right thing to do. RIM sold tons of Storms, if these customers would have been taken care of better would have went a long ways to building brand loyalty and trust in the consumer market; the whole market they were targeting with the Storm. Instead they have a black eye in that market, and a lot of owners feeling burned and abandoned by RIM, including myself. I am looking at getting the HTC Incredible or the Nexus One, whenever they get released.04-06-10 06:00 PMLike 0

- I fooled around with a moto droid back in december and I will say I was impressed. I'm not to hot on the moto brand of phones but after feeling abandon, I could make the jump. RIM is so behind the times, android based phones have got it going on, widgets is so cool, along with all the other cool stuff the androId OS has to offer. The one thing I wish is that android based phones had email like blackberry, but I guess with what android phones offer, that's all the ordinary person needs. I agree with the last couple of comments, and think RIM needs to get it together, or their gonna be in for a bumpy ride. I think they need to make and test their stuff better before marketing it to the public, and the people that commented earlier are right, customers well feel like RIM is being loyal to them.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com04-06-10 08:45 PMLike 0 - But then again, I can't help but think of how long the Curve 8330 stayed in production, and as much rave as Verizon and others who introduced the Storm, I think the storm one should of had at least a two year span before introducing another version. I will say, the Storm one should have been tested better before being marketed the way it was. Like one member here on CB said one time, we storm owners were beta testers. But six one way half a dozen another.
