BlackBerry Storm2 9550
Thanks Rich!
Just got this new Storm and like the increased speed, and enhancements. However, the reception has now become inferior to the Storm 1. Doesn't have as many bars of reception calling from the same location. I know, I've been testing it. I wonder if they had to reduce the antenna size because of WiFi? If so, how stupid. Reception is one of the most important aspects of a phone. To sacrifice because of Wifi that most people will never use is ridiculous. Others are complaining in rural areas same problem. Also, what level do you set the tap interval, hover period, and swipe sensistivity? Thanks.........
Tap interval, hover and swipe I have left default. I am starting to play around with those to see if I can get it a little better
I don't see how in the world the OS can ever affect the reception? OS is software -- antenna, reception, etc. is hardware. I have done side by side comparisons with Storm 1 & 2 and 2 definitely has worse reception. This to me is a huge flaw. How could RIM ever compromise reception???? This is one of the most important components of a cell PHONE!!! First and foremost, it needs to operate as a PHONE!!!
Thanks.

I wish I was up why this is, but there is a dramatic difference from one OS to another sometimes with radio reception. If one leaked OS had poor reception, there were those at crackberry that would be able to seperate and pull the radio files out of one OS and insert them into another and...

oops, same difference! lol
Not if Rich, himself, had to correct you. 😛
When I found her she was a little slow and unrefined. I tried to help by putting the latest operating systems on. She got better for a while, but slowly over the weeks ahead she went back to her old ways 😢
We had some setbacks err..resets, she froze up at times. When I decided to get the Storm2, she got her act together and really tried. She never really let me down or stranded me for the last year and her bright chrome accents are much better to look at than the "Goth" look I traded for.
I don't know what I am thinking...I feel happy sometimes and like dirt others 🤣
We still do see each other...we remain good frien...

So she was a frigid, ice queen until she found out there was another woman and then she finally started to put out, eh? Typical.
If I can get around to selling her, I think she will make someone else very happy 🤣
