Why don't RIM OS programmers show their faces here?
- I mean...WE are the ones buying and using the phones, and I'd guess between CB users and the users that never have even BEEN to a forum- WE are the most intensive on the phones.
Wouldn't it make sense for RIM to interact with US? Are there even any programmers on this forum from RIM on here????02-14-09 02:29 PMLike 0 -

Out of curiosity what do you do for a living? Do you visit forums related to your company or industry? Do you identify yourself there?Last edited by crackberryfan; 02-14-09 at 02:47 PM.

2) the people who have something productive to say, although knowledgable, most likely don't have any new info that RIM doesn't already know
3) they have their own badass forum where they talk trash about all of us CB users.02-14-09 02:45 PMLike 0 - It would be very unprofessional to come onto these forums and post "Hi, I am a RIM OS programmer."
First of all, most likely nobody would believe him/her. Second of all, if people did believe him/her, they would keep begging for a new OS update or momentum scrolling. There is too much work and too little benefits involved in saying "I am a Rim OS programmer," and on top of that, they do not need to. They could just read the forums and look at opinions, and that is what they most likely do.02-14-09 02:46 PMLike 0 -
I'm trying to help the community and you're attempting to rip on me?? Get real buddy.02-14-09 02:49 PMLike 0 -
First, I would almost guarantee that RIM is paying very close attention to Crackberry, and other Blackberry forums. I remember back in late October - before the official release date of the Storm was released - a RIM spokesperson made reference to the hype and predictions surrounding the product on online forums. So, if they were following the product pre-Release, I'm sure they have been following it post-release as well.
Second, your reference to the betas misses the mark on multiple levels. Yes, a beta is not going to perfect. Overall, they have been a step in the right direction, regardless of some flaws. I got my Storm on 11/21, and I believe there has been significant increases from .65 to .75, and from .75 to .9x series and even .103. Although there is still work left to be done, I think it's a stretch to categorize these releases as "crappy." Also, remember the betas are not officially "released", but have been "leaked."
Finally, I think I speak for a lot of people on this forum when I say it's irritating seeing posts like this. CB is a sight for people to learn tips/tricks on how to improve their Blackberry skills, not to complain that the "leaked" OSes aren't 100% perfect. If you are unsatisfied with the phone (as many people have been), then you should return it for a phone that more appropriately suits your needs. Although I understand the initial reasoning in your post, you should at least be thankful that RIM has been working to constantly improve the OS for this phone.02-14-09 02:51 PMLike 0 - It would be very unprofessional to come onto these forums and post "Hi, I am a RIM OS programmer."

They have a pretty well-defined list of things they need to be working on, I'd imagine, and I am 100% sure that list doesn't include listening to people complain about software that they're acknowledging isn't perfect.02-14-09 02:52 PMLike 0

think about this: "my OS is broken. fix it. but while you're at it, come browse around this forum and answer questions for n00bs that could easily read the user manual/go through the "SETUP WIZARD (*gasp*)/search google or the forums and get the same damn answers."02-14-09 02:55 PMLike 0 - And that's fine...don't read and/or participate in the thread then. I wasn't complaining about leaked. I am suggesting more participation on RIMs part. Only makes sense.02-14-09 02:55 PMLike 0

- I acknowledged your initial point - RIM participating this forum - but I think subsequent posts have shown sufficient reasons against it. However, when you explicitly stated the releases/leaks were "crappy", then you were complaining about the leaks.02-14-09 03:00 PMLike 0
