I wouldnt mind a speed bump either tho mine right now is speedier then ever. The whole closing apps all the time is a drag. Would prefer to have less mem leaks and speed so as not to have to close all apps all the time.
I would like to see the ability to run apps off the 1GB onboard mem and/or the SD card. WinMO makes this possible.01-02-09 12:25 PMLike 0 -

- Also fix the memory drain. We should not have to pull the batteries out of our phone every couple days.01-02-09 02:41 PMLike 0
- I think Rim needs to go back to the drawing board with this OS. The instability and bugs are complete BS! I was completely into this phone at first even with all the quirks, but this phone, even after the latest updates, is not ready for the general consumer at all. I pulled my phone from the dock this morning, made 2 calls and received 1 in the last 13 hours and it has 5.6mb’s of memory left and it is barley useable. What gives?!? But, what makes this even more unbearable is the 6 minute reboot. I know that the phone needs to load apps and do some checks, but that’s over the top and way past my patience..
I believe that if RIM does not get this OS working properly SOON, this will go down as one of the biggest flops in the phone industry. I think someone should already be losing their job for the release of such crap. I will return this piece of crap within the next few months if Verizon and Rim don’t get us a usable OS.
Sorry for the rant, but what Verizon and RIM are asking us to put up with is ridiculous… In short, I want them to FIX the OS, make it so I don't have to reboot one or twice a day and then wait for 5-6 minutes for a PHONE to reboot! I don't think the space shuttle takes that long to reboot... This is 2009, there is no excuse or reason for this to take so damn long..Last edited by wardo5757; 01-02-09 at 06:55 PM.

Any way one of the only issues I have with the Storm is now that I have updated to the latest OS I still do not have working Bluetooth in videos. I know it seems like a silly thing to gripe about but I used the crap out of that!
I would like to see the screen be lockable when on a call but TalkLock Works great so Ehh what ever.
I would like to have the option so select quick dial option within my contacts.
I would love to be able to turn on and off the accelerometer.
BUT more than all that I would like to say that I am glad to see steady improvement in each version of the OS so I am confident that it is going to just a mater of time before all these issues are resolved.
Thanks RIM

- Mine are easy:
FIX THE CONSTANT NEED TO REBOOT. I swear, my phone seems to trip itself up on purpose sometimes without me asking anything all that complicated... I use quickpull and STILL need to physically remove the battery.
Accelerometer. 'Nuff said.
... because it got fixed in .85...01-02-09 09:54 PMLike 0 - 1. Accelerometer
2. Not having the camera turn on during typing for no reason
3. battery life
4. Faster all-around.. seems slow (keep in mind i still have .75)
5. Bigger contact picture when receiving a call!!! Cmon BB, I bought a phone with a huge screen and then I have to squint to see the picture that comes up when someone calls! It was bigger on my old LG enV.01-02-09 10:22 PMLike 0
