- Then what would be the point of even allowing the device to boot? You might as well send the user a device that does nothing. Logic yourself.05-21-09 10:16 PMLike 0
- I have to ask. What is the logic behind building that device, loading it with an OS, but leaving off technology that would make the interface work? What would the purpose of that particular handset be to a person? Could be that the screen could be defective, but if you think RIM put out a test phone with missing technology but a fully working OS on a branded version at that, you're pretty silly in the head. That like building a car and leaving off the windows. This ain't Gung ** you morons. (I need my House avatar back apparently)

I know the Storm 2 has been around for a while. Look at it, not that much has changed. We all know this...
Again I am not giving RIM my money until that thing has the ability to run as many apps as I would like. I think there is a device out there like that
I just wish RIM would own up and give us all a trade in... I am not talking $50 either. I want at least half, but we all know that will happen, right....05-21-09 10:24 PMLike 0 - U really think that phone was let loose unitentionally.
Think again.
BTW................
Nothing happens by accident.
Everything happens the way it is supposed to
and everything happens for a reason.
Maybe putting an esoteric twist
on such a worldly thing. But oh well...............05-21-09 10:28 PMLike 0 - I don't recall him saying the browser was as good as the iPhones.
I do believe he thought by the time VZW launched it that they would have a stable OS on it. Again the Storm 1 release was TOTALLY out of character for RIM.
There's more to the story of the Storm 1 than people think.
And please, tell more of the story about the Storm 1. I want to know why it was so damn disgraceful.05-21-09 10:29 PMLike 0 - I have to ask.

Gung H*O* such a great movie.
I will go to bed with the idea that the Gremlins caused the 2 not work. I will also blame the faults of the Storm on Gremlins. I told Billy not to pour water on Gizmo and then he had to feed the suckers chicken after midnight.05-21-09 10:31 PMLike 0 - U really think that phone was let loose unitentionally.

Ok, hope I don't get flamed to badly here... I'm pretty new to berry's and pretty much ignorant of the whole storm saga. (not a touch screen fan)
So what I gather is storm1 was really a beta project, but due to pressure from service provider(s) it was released premature, complete with multiple OS issues. Now that storm2 is due out "soon" (as in anywhere from june 1, 2009 to june 1 2010) people are saying that this is what the storm was supposed to be?
Was the storm in response to iphone? Or touch screen smartphones in general? When was storm1 first released? Cuz May 1 my service provider started selling them, yet are advertising the 8230 as coming soon. (wasn't the storm1 released well before the flip?)
Just trying to edumecate myself

I believe the Storm was a response to the iPhone. RIM was seeing market share move towards the iPhone. VZW saw the same thing with the AT&T. Also App World was built to help compete against the App Store for the iPhone.
I don't know if it was a Beta or not. I think the Storm was not ready for release and the carriers wanted it so bad because of the iPhone, holiday sales etc.
If RIM has learned anything from this they should take the suggestions of Wegmans CEO. "We don't open a store until we know we are ready, we ensure that the customer will have the best experience because our staff is prepared for the opening, profits don't matter, our employees and customers come first."05-21-09 10:47 PMLike 0 - Someone slip me one of these. I'll show you guys how to press OK.

- Some people (myself included) do not consider these issues to be big deals. The WORST bug on the Storm (in my opinion) was just fixed in .148, though (the release notes specifically mention it TWICE) - The audio boost bug with incoming alerts has been fixed. The Storm is now a VIABLE media player. Your music is playing at FULL volume - an alert comes in - the headphones deactivate for a second and the device speaker plays the alert tone - and the headphones switch back on and playback continues at FULL volume.05-21-09 10:59 PMLike 0
