The Storm in my Life continued....
URG! It has NOT been a very good couple of days. As I said in my first post The STORM in my Life (Days 1-5), I was forgiving of "new" and decided that with the minor problems.... I was sticking with the STORM. I still know that I took a chance on a new products
Not sure I still feel the same way.
Here are the issues that I am finding in the last couple of days. They just might be the straw..... that breaks.... ya know.....
CALLER ID: So the last five phone calls I've received... says someone else is calling. Yep. The last person who called me, not the incoming call.
COPY/PASTE/SELECT: I'm still really not happy with this. It is difficult to copy, paste, and place the cursor in previous text to either correct or insert something else. Maybe I'm the only one that needs this - but it's frustrating.
BLACKBERRY DESKTOP MANAGER: What a crazy system! I don't like it. Why not? It has "sections" with descriptions for further information. What a pain - they aren't descriptive enough to know where to go. I liked the ability in Windows Mobile to actually go view each part of your device, each file and move it around from there. The synchronization process takes a long time! I only have it synching contacts & notes but it takes a long time!
UPGRADE: So.... I've now almost completed two blog posts, tweeted, picked up house, played with LittleOne5 - all while waiting for an upgrade, the first upgrade to complete. If I saw it correctly, it actually removes everything from the device then puts it back on it again. Interesting. Never had an upgrade take this long. Wonder how many more there will be?
Good points since last post...
I like Crackberry.com lots of useful information!
Transferring files from iTunes to Blackberry Device wasn't too difficult. Music quality is very good on phone.
AutoSureType has been interesting to learn, but I've kept with it, as people say.... and I think that with another few days - we'll be friends.
At this point..... Take it or leave it? Not sure. Still using it like crazy - hopefully this upgrade will improve some things. If I was made to decide today - - - I'd be at the store looking for something else.
Hi Kim,
I look forward to reading your final decision on the phone!

Kim...I'm keeping my Storm in the Curve! I needed to save bucks, so opted for the Curve, going from a Treo. I'm getting use to it, but I've got to allocate an hour for a tech call to Verizon to get my Internet to work (not working since October...think they will give me a credit) and then without telling me, I lost all the ringotnes that I had downloaded, so have to do that all over again. And I WILL GET a credit for that one!
Ah Technology.....with all this technology, you'd think they could make technology easy!
I love my blackberry.... I don't know about this new storm. I love your new picture! KM
Technology is ....helpful? ....timesaving? ...keeps our minds young by challenging us? Cheers!
That would be really frustrating waiting for a synch or an upgrade. We buy mobile technology so we can be out and about in the world, not to sit and wait, wait, wait ...
Hi Kim! I love this series. You are such a techie and yet can explain it to us non-techies so well. I have the Blackberry Curve and am very happy with it but I don't try to do everything on it that you do. On my list of things to do...learn more about all of the latest and greatest tech stuff...but priority one is still saving my blog:)
So I couldn't tell by your post...did you upgrade your system or are you still waiting? Got my phone yesterday, first thing I did was upgrade the OS, took about 15 minutes. So far I love the phone...of course I've been a BB addict for over 2 years now!
Thanks for sharing the side we'll never see on the commercials!
I am so not up on the storm drama....just stopped in to say I heart your new photo. Oh, and that I linked you up on an AR post a minute ago, oh, and I typed a super long comment to make sure I got my 25 comment points. *teehee*
I'm watching your posts before I decide to get the Storm! I wanted one until I started seeing all the 'fun' you are having.
Still waiting for the rest of the story. I have to upgrade my blackberry. I'm between the Curve and the Storm and trying to make a decision. I love SureType.
I hear som many challenging things about the Storm. Went to iphone in July. Going to be hard for me to change
Thanks for the update
