Thanks for nothing verizon

YES i want a new OS. YES i'm getting tired of the slowness. But NO i'm not a whiney quitter that's gunna sell my storm for less than i paid so i can go back to some other phone. No way. I'm content with waiting.
Perhaps you should show them how its done eh? lol
Its not about being a whiner, its about Verizon releasing a phone and no true support for it. Sure its okay for most people who don't get over 50 emails per day. But it would be nice to have some good functionality with the sexy without the phone crashing.
Anyway, the main problem with the phone is that the app memory needs to be able access the memory card, that way it doesn't max out so quickly and the memory managemnt can work right.

I think this is coming soon by either third party or RIM. I remember reading a thread about it on Crackberry recently.
Also in some of the recent OS's that haven't leaked I have heard about a screen that pops up when memory is low giving you the option of deleting old programs or files
What I enjoy about the phone is the large screen size and the relative ease with which to view what I'm looking at.
I load most of my apps off of email and allow permissions, so its not too tedious. In a general sense if you use this phone to make calls and run apps (I enjoy personal productivity utilities), then the limitations such as hunt and peck typing for text communication, take a secondary option of importance. 😳
I just gotta have one.

I'll have to agree.
The phone does what I want it to do. Although I still don't feel like this phone has lived up to its full potential yet, it has come a long way since it's introduction.
The fact that we shouldn't have to deal with unofficial or leaked OS's is irrelevant to me. They are there and available which to me is more important.
In 2 years with my Palm, I saw 1 major update which fixed little. There are problems with many phones out there. There is no perfect phone yet 😁
Storm 3.5
iphone at 3.71
iphone 3g at 3.78
Curves on any network and Bolds with physical keyboards are rated a lot higher.
Lots of gripes about the iphone as well as the Storm.

By no means is the iphone perfect but its stable and apps for it are far more numerous i tried very hard like the storm the diffrence is the iphonemakes me like it without unoffical operating systems and other nonsence. I argued again amd again that the storm was the better phone but one day i realised its not true
The iphone has been around about 1 1/2 years longer than the Storm. I expect the iphone to have more apps and be a more polished product. It's more established in the marketplace.
For me the iphone would be a poor choice because it doesn't put business users first. You can adapt it for business, but it's not at its best doing that.
It's all in what you use the phone for. For ...

what about the Samsung Omnia. I was really on the fence with this and the storm. I went with the storm and now I have to do battery pulls at least twice a day. I am running .109 and I have the iVista 2 theme and my phone just goes to **** when I try to use the video camera any suggestions HawkeyeOC
Some of the operating systems had problems with the cameras. You could try to upgrade to .113 I have done 1 battery pull in the last few weeks and that was just because I felt it was running a little slower. It wasn't a forced battery pull.
The Omnia uses a WinMo 6.1 OS at it's core with an easier to use interface on top of it. Not the easiest to use consumer phone out there but it seems to ...
