I suggest you sell the Storm 2 and buy another phone !!! 
 
Normally Blackberry make very good phones, but the Storm 2 is Blackberry’s Doyle equivalent. 
 
There have been loads of problems, and  it's generally a shit phone. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Trust me, this will be the best piece of advise you will get !

Well then I guess I have to admit defeat on that on then. 
  
 
 
 
But I still wouldn't recommend a Storm 2 to any one !

I agree !  
 
The new software update (5.0.0.436) has just been released today. 
 
I was actually surprised with the iPhone. It was so much better than i thought, and i now understand why so many people rave on about them !

I've been telling you that for years prick   
 
I remember when I had my first one and you were like 'I'd never have an iphone... I'd much prefer a blackberry'   
 
i'd be lost without my iphone these days, most people only scratch the surface of the capabilities of them... when you start really using it, it's amazing.

i work for voda doing device management and sales, which basically means usually a few months before a handset comes out, i use them and have to put them through various tests, mainly checking call quality and durability etc. i get to keep them, but after dropping them purposely to see how rugged they are, they end up battered. 
 
im currently using an N900-absolute wank btw, 3gs iphone on 3.1.3, which is just improved safari browser, and a mobile me function.  
 
its good, but then i use handsets that just are ridiculously crap. for example sony ericsson xperia x2-what a joke that was, worst adaption of a WM software with SE own UI slapped on top of it.

Oh how opinions change.  
 
Storm 1 - pants 
iPhone - Brilliant 
 
I'm sure there was a 30 page thread somewhere with the opinions the other way round   Brainwashed!

paul - iPhones aren't the be all and end all of mobile phones, they do have their own fair share of problems.

I found this: 
 
The 3.1.3 firmware update for the iPhone is out now, available through an iTunes update. It's no revelation, fixing only the accuracy of the 3GS battery meter and the stability of some third-party app launches. Apologies if you were excited.
