BlackBerry Storm 9530
software upgrades vs updated phones
I got the Storm when it first came out and was initially disappointed. However the recent software update helped somewhat and I'm hoping future software updates will help even more.
My only concern would be if Blackberry\Verizon start shipping out a new version of the phone in the very near future instead of solely relying on software updates. Does anyone know what the chances of that are? Because in this case I would just rather return the phone and wait a couple of months.
Also, does anyone know how long before the Storm gets decent software applications like Google Maps and stocks applications. My friends who have the iPhone have all these really neat applications that track stocks, show traffic, and show videos.
Thanks for...

Well my friend a special youtube application on his iPhone along with iStocks and Google maps. I looked at the Storm software applications on crackberry and they did not have any free applications like Google Maps or iStocks.

google maps is free, but i havent seen istocks yet. i read tho google maps is not working with the storm gps yet, still a new phone gotta remember that. keep your chin up about the phone it will come around.

I just read on bwone.com that the Blackberry Apps Store would be available for the Storm in March of 2009. Not very helpful right now but it's good to know that it is coming.

youtube works right out the box with the storm, just head over to youtube.com and view it with the browser, works like a charm!

not with GPS
Yes it does actually. I downloaded Google maps last night and tried it. The catch is that it doesn't access the cell phone towers like Verizon Navigator does to further define your position. At least with me it put me a couple of streets over from where I was.

No new version of this phone coming out in the near future. It is a new phone to begin with.
There are more software updates coming in the near future to fix annoyances and bugs.
crackberry.com is a one-stop-shop for new software as it becomes available

I already installed Google Maps on my Storm. From your browser, go to google.com and click on maps. The app will stall itself.
