RIMarkable is not about you or your personal thoughts about others. Please grow up and learn to post like a adult. You have been reminded many times before RIMarkable is not for you to post your desperate personal shots and to stroke your fragile ego.
Rimarkable is not a place for you to post your opinions of others or what they post. Tell me who other than you, do I crap on?
Got to admit, I enjoy abusing your sorry ass. Think you can do it? I think not. Off topic? Listen Verizon boy you kill VZW in your posts, yet you work for the mother company …you obviously have issues, both mentally as well as socially.
I may upgrade to 4. So why in knowing this would I want anything they think is good for my device. Screw them. Ultimately the point comes to whether or not RIM should be more careful with their collaborations with OS updates or if the updates should officially be coming from RIM instead of the carriers. If the later becomes the case then suddenly RIM is as much a phone developer as they are an operating system company and they carry a lot more risk. Verizon is at fault because they sat too long on updates that the community felt were necessary.
Rimarkable is not a place for you to post your opinions of others or what they post, no one cares what you think when you continuously show you have no ability to stay on topic and off your vast personal issues with what others post. The truth comes out, there is no defending against the truth. Smartphones need OS updates as they become available, there is zero excuse for verizon blocking BB users from being to obtain these sometimes critical device updates.
I am running OS 4. They cannot have everything. Verizon is a prime example of the greed that has devoured America. Oh yeah…and I own one…soon to be sold. Hope that helps. Do us all a favor and ignore each other. This is a quiet informative community forum with thousands of readers a day. Unfortunately, for now, it looks like the BlackBerry Storm will not support Verizon's V Cast music and video services.
We enjoyed clear audio with no noticeable background noise or voice distortion, and we didn't experience any dropped calls during our test period. There were also no problems using an airline's voice automated response system.
On the other end, our friends reported similarly positive results and said they had no problems hearing us. Unfortunately, the speakerphone didn't fare as well. Both sides experienced choppy call quality as words occasionally were cut off. There was also some slight voice distortion on our end. Overall, we were able to carry on full conversations and volume was not a problem, but we definitely had to ask our callers to repeat themselves on more than one occasion. Verizon's first firmware update, version 4.
We downloaded the software upgrade using the desktop manager, and the entire process went smoothly with no problems. The biggest improvement we noticed was the improvement in the accelerometer. The Storm was much faster to change the screen orientation when we rotated the phone. However, page redraws are still on the slow side and there's continued bugginess.
For example, while checking out a Web page, we turned the phone to check it out in landscape mode and the screen went on the fritz for a couple of seconds and went completely blank, though eventually the site came back up. Also, when we were listening to music, we changed orientation and the player controls started to flicker. Launching and using multimedia applications like the camera and multimedia player were definitely better, however, with faster response times and the problems with the inconsistent camera toolbar looks to be resolved.
Now, with BlackBerry OS version 4. The browser and camera didn't freak out when we rotated the phone, and in a two-week period, we didn't have any system freezes or crashes. Since we haven't been using the Storm over a long period of time, we didn't experience first-hand some of the problems and bugs that plagued its owners.
However, some of features of 4. Music playback through the phone's speakers sounded blown out, though there was plenty of volume. Thankfully, the built-in 3. Video performance wasn't quite as dazzling as the BlackBerry Bold's.
There was a bit more pixilation, but we still enjoyed smooth playback. A network. The Storm's GPS capabilities were great. Route creation was quick and it was able to get us back on course in a timely matter after we purposely missed several turns. That said, the voice-guided directions sounded blown out at the medium-high level and too soft at the medium level, so that was a bit of a struggle.
The BlackBerry Storm comes with a 1,mAh lithium ion battery with a rated talk time of 5. In our battery drain tests , the Storm offered 7 hours of continuous talk time on a single charge.
