Posted: 28 Nov 2008, 08:57Slightly OT, but I have got the Blackberry bold & am very pleased with it. I was going to get the Storm instead of the Bold, until I saw that BB had omitted to include WiFi on it.

Yea, I hear ya. BUT At&T is not the greatest where I live. What else would you want?
Kraken: What do you like the Bold, besides WiFi? My main issue with the Bold is I can't get it on my mobile network (Verizon, CDMA only).

Posted: 08 Dec 2008, 00:25So far, the Storm has had some pretty lousy reviews. It doesn't help that there will be 3 versions.
Prosumer - out now
Business
Enterprise
Each will have it's own setup. It does appear that Prosumers are really debug-sumers.

quote:A number of fixes and improvements around other key areas are also delivered in this software upgrade including:
á Microphone - Previously, we've had reports that when on a voice call, the other party may not be able to hear the Storm user properly. This software upgrade has resolved this.
á Display - A number of improvements have been made to the display including a smoother and quicker transition between landscape and portrait modes.
á Media Ð Improvements here include better handling of different media file formats and improved stability when using the media player.
á Video Ð Streaming is much better, corrections are in place to improve handling of MMS messages and switching between applications when video streaming, and the fast forward and rewind functionality of media files is also improved.
Where to get the new software
1. Customers will be able to download the software using the BlackBerry website.
2. *deleted by me*
3. Looking at delivering an Over The Air (OTA) solution. This will allow the phone to be upgraded without needing to plug it into a PC.
