w00t !! the torch 9850 for VzW is getting released online 2moro and in stores on 9/15-i was STOKED when I saw this info on Cb's front page
I'm looking forward to going to a VzW store ASAP to check this bad boy out & HOPE its not a total fail like the 'storm' series was.
I'd like to go check it out & be just as thrilled with its performance as I am with the iPhone, and if it is-i will stay bb
welcome back to school everyone, hope every1 had a great 1st day
*im seriously crossing my fingers for the Torch9850 to succeed*

I'd be psyched if I had an ounce of energy left!
Maybe next week!
School is murder. Especially when they are still welding, sanding and hammering in my library and the kids come tomorrow...oh not to mention the 400 boxes I have to unpack.....09-06-11 04:18 PM - Same here Pink, I'm hoping for a winner for RIM with the torch 9850. I see you and I had a similar impression of the bold touch. I'd like to give the 9850 a test when it comes to the stores. Now that I've pretty well gotten used to an all touch screen again I'm interested in seeing how the 9850 performs as I now have something to really compare it with.[color=#DF0174][b][font=garamond]w00t !! the torch 9850 for VzW is getting released online 2moro and in stores on 9/15-i was STOKED when I saw this info on Cb's front page

*im seriously crossing my fingers for the Torch9850 to succeed*09-06-11 07:10 PM - hi Jim, and yes- as far as the 9930 bold goes. I actually went into the store with a clear mind and didn't let what you & 99 impact my opinion of it while checking it out. But the more I was using it, I found myself saying in my head either 'oh I read that in the 9930 forum' or 'oh that was something jim or 99 had mentioned'
Now as for the 9850, the last time I actually had a full touch screen bb was the S2 and boy did that ph suck wind !! Now, with that being said, I use my iPad everyday & I use my hubbys iPhone also, and I do pretty well with the all touch on both of those. If the touch screen is anything close to the iPhones in the way it responds-il be allllll about the 9850
I also did see someone post about asking in regards to using the switch wiz for this device-im thinking its gonna be the same smoe as the issues everyone had using the DM switch wiz with the bold 9930. Best thing is to just back up the current device, activate the new and do a selective restore & don't even bother with the swtich wiz with OS7. Just to be safe
I also saw a few people have loaded 353 onto the 9860-i wonder if VzW's will need a diff OS loaded right out of the box too, like the 9930. Well, time will only tell-il be watching that forum to see the VzW's reviewers opinions and feedback.....I'm hoping for good stuff !!

oooooohh boy.....Jim idk if you've checkd the 9850/9860 forum--but the folks on VzW 9850 are having email & browser issues. They can rec emails but can't open them and the browser isn't functioning properly. A lot of folks are dlw'ing leak 353 to change from the 254 VzW comes stock with.....AND the folks waiting for their shipment to arrive are prepping by dwld'ing 353.
*smfh* this shouldn't be happening with a brand new device out of the box
I'm really disaPointed and I'll be passing on this for now it seems......... [/color][/font][/b]

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com09-07-11 06:38 PM - Jaydee, I think the issues with the 9930 were mostly because people were using the dev switch wiz and going from os5 or 6 & transferring to os7 just wasn't jiving with the os7 devices-causing them to have issues using bbid. There were others but I just can't think of 'em off the top of my head. I do rem A LOT of 9930 folks also had to load a leak different than what the device was shipped with.....that's just really poor quality on Rim's part- that's not something a 'basic joe/jane' user should have to face upon taking a new device out of the box. Fortunately, most people do know how to dwld and install a leak or official OS. But for those of the people that are new to bb they won't have a clue what to do
Needless to say, getting back to what I originally said, a fresh new out of the box device should NOT NEED an unofficial OS loaded up to function properly. *smfh again*
I'm just really disappointed...I was seriously looking forward to this release in a big way. Well, maybe with a little bit of time this device will get smoothed over and then I can re-consider

Lately, it seems that my BB is not liking some of these themes that have come out. Namely on the clocks. They are all messed up and not at all like they should look. A few dev said it was custom fonts. So I deleted all custom fonts...no luck. Deleted font collection. No luck.
And the same theme works for others on OS6. They work for Jaydee and we both have .600.
So, I was thinking of a re-install of the OS. Now with apploader I don't have to wipe right? It does it for me?
Or is there something else I should try first? I've done so many batt pulls today I'm going crazy
(I even tried going to the default theme and back and still no luck)09-07-11 07:41 PM - You may need to wipe because it will see you have 600 on there and won't reload the same OS. You might even try 587 instead of 600 as it seems to be a more stable OS.Ok genius ramblers...riddle me this...

You shouldn't have to wipe your device before installing it. I should just ask you if you want to downgrade. Make sure you uninstall the 600 before you try to install 587.09-07-11 08:06 PM - yes I agree with what your saying Midd about people mucking with the iOS, OS or droid os right out of the box. I just don't want to be bothered to HAVE to nor do I really have the time for mucking with os's these days
lol. I will cross my fingers-be optimistic & hope for a smoother running os a couple mths down the road
.
Hamster, as Midd said, you will have to wipe-i rem a few mths back when I was reloading 431 from 443 it wouldnt just do it because 443 was the 'greater' of the two as far as numbers go. And your trying to go from 600 to 600-so itL say something like your os is already up to date.
That's a really strange issue it sounds like your having
I hope reloading your os will correct the problem for you.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com09-07-11 08:08 PM - Make sure it's uninstalled of my laptop you mean? Thanks for the link..how is it different from 600?
Yes it is very strange and has me all wound up lol. I just hate when things don't work rightyes I agree with what your saying Midd about people mucking with the iOS, OS or droid os right out of the box. I just don't want to be bothered to HAVE to nor do I really have the time for mucking with os's these days lol.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com Was that on DM or apploader? I'm so confused.
How have you been? Sorry been MIA...lots going on
If I had to wipe....How and what are the steps?09-07-11 08:15 PM - Try this link: you will have to fill in some info for RIM first.I get an incorrect link message
And we're talking app loader right?
