Replacement on your left and right, foam sticker?
- I run official .328.
So here is the deal. This is my 2nd replacement in the last 30 days. The first one was having wake up problems so I received the one on your left.
The Storm on the left had some wake up issues, charging issues (errors like, "this charger is not authorized," it happened with the USB cable, charger, car charger and charger from the Tour), camera errors and finally to top it off an exception error in the middle of a phone call that made the phone go nuts, white screens, reboots you name it. The Storm I had before these two had screen wake up issues after completing a call. It would go black and only a battery pull could bring it back. Nothing worked, wipes, reloads nothing.
Here is the deal since the Storm is basically junk I don't run much on it that does not come loaded. The only third party I run is Slacker. I heard there were problems with the camera and Slacker, but the Storm I had before the two in the picture did not have that same problem.
Needless to say this is my 4th Storm since my first purchase Dec 2008. What I found interesting with this "Certified like new" is the little black foam sticker under the battery. I have never seen this before and it leads me to believe that this is RIM's solution to those with screen press problems that people had to stuff paper and business cards around their battery.
Either that or it serves some other purpose, but regardless RIM must be proud that they spent a penny on a ton of foam stickers to fix their phone.
Here is a picture so you can see it.

Anyone think that foam sticker serves any purpose other than what I presented above? I would love to hear it.12-31-09 02:20 PMLike 0 - 01-01-10 12:09 PMLike 0

- The reasons why people will put business cards, pieces of paper and what I have done, is a guitar pick under the battery is to help the click towards the corners and at the bottom of the screen. My storm would have a hard time clicking the space key. I got on the forums and found a solution and the click is much better all around. Its basically taking more travel for the whole screen out because the whole display in the back will give some when pressed.01-01-10 01:38 PMLike 0

All phones have problems, but RIM is just not worth it.01-01-10 02:43 PMLike 0
