2. RIM quality control? Very possible. But again, you'd have to be very fortunate to receive 3 malfunctioning devices in a row.
In the end, if the OP finds it unreliable (and has gone thru 3 and has given it an honest effort), it's time to move on to a device that actually works for him or her. Sorry it wasn't the Storm.02-09-09 10:58 AMLike 0 -
What kind of user error causes the phone not to respond to button pushes and then lock up after the battery pull? I guess you could say the user error was the original purchase...but that's probably not what you were getting at?02-09-09 02:13 PMLike 0 -

- There is enough blame to go around. The resposibility does not lie solely on RIM. Verizon is just as reponsible.
But these 2 companies are in bed together so this is what we ended up with.
Sh*t rolls downhill.

- can't blame the op for feeling like he does. at least he has a storm and has put some effort into getting it to work.
i like my storm a lot and i'm still on my original device, BUT as it stands today i could not recommend one to colleague or friend in good conscience without a very adamant "work in progress" disclaimer. the 'official' os releases are booty imo, and there is some legitimacy to hardware quality concerns with the dust and screen click issues others have had. if the os wasn't so finicky the hardware issues wouldn't be as much of an issue. all my previous bbs had dust or buttons that fell off or the speaker died or scroll wheel came off the hinges...basically something hardware related at some point in time. so hardware quality hasn't always been rim's strong suit, but os stability has..at least in my experience compared to the storm.
to be honest i haven't experienced "teething issues" like this with any other rim device i've used in the past 4 years. i'll give them some credit since this is their first shot at a touchscreen device, but right now it's it's just too rough around the edges. the next official os could change the game, but we'll see.02-09-09 09:50 PMLike 0 - OP I feel your pain. To those who say "Suck it up" or make excuses for RIM I call BS. I expected more from RIM and even the CEO has some cop out line. RIM better adapt their dev model or someone will knock them off the hill. They can't continue to ride the corporate gravy train on ****y SW.

My storm did many many things way faster than a 1 yr old 8830 but the ui isn't a refined as a BB should be. I still don't know who thinks a BB is and entertainment Phone. It can do so much more if you want it to.02-10-09 06:07 AMLike 0 - 02-10-09 06:27 AMLike 0

2 Motorola devices: t505 (fm transmitter) and ht 820s (headsets). 1 Jabra: bt620s
You titled this thread questioning the reliablity of the device and RIM by extension. Your experiences are not the same as others, in fact running completely opposite from some people's (like myself). I've yet to hear of any issues with bluetooth other than people trying to figure out how to pair it with something.02-10-09 07:02 AMLike 0 - I too haven't had issues. Shameless plug: check out the Jawbone 2 review in the main Storm forum from yesterday. Well written and informative!
(I was planning on picking one up next and found it to be a good read)
Oh yeah, the author of that thread didn't have bluetooth issues either02-10-09 07:08 AMLike 0 - Hate to say it jeep but for the posters that said its time to move on to another phone are correct. It is pretty much luck of the draw when getting a fully functional Storm. Shouldn't be that way, but it is. Its sad too because the device's potential is endless. But by the time they finally tap into it, they'll have 3 new BBs available. 1 probably being the Storm/Bold hybrid. Another probably being the Storm 2. Who knows.
Sorry for your troubles buddy. But its time to say enough is enough.
For the rest of you that said anything other than what I stated earlier, shame on you.
