<title>Blackberry Storm Pros/Cons/Tips &#x26;amp; Tricks  - Discussion</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21628239</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello, 

I would like to have an ongoing discussion of the Storm between Storm owners , and those "interested" in the Storm.  I would prefer not to have this thread turn into an iPhone vs. Storm, please understand.

Anyone would like to share tips & tricks?  By the way, crackberry.com is a MUST bookmark, especially the Storm Forum with 10,000+ messages.... Just about every question has been asked & answered (how to, issues, etc) - excellent resource.    And yes, there is a leaked 0.83 OS out.... yes.  I'm not touching any OS that is not "official" from Blackberry, but that is my choice.

Let's start our own resource here?   ;) :p :D

Storm owners should know this already, but here are few things noobs may not realize:

1. Keyboard/hide/show -- just swipe down to make it disappear (no need to go into the menu to do this), and swipe up (to make it appear)..

2. Icons can be moved around, and even into folders if you feel you have too many taking up icon slots..

3. If you upgrade your OS and any applications or icons disappear, you can get them back immediately by going into options, advanced options, host routing table, hit bb menu button, then register.... re-registering fixes promptly.

4. To get a status bar while playing media or music, just lightly "tap" the screen (I did notice this can be picky sometimes)....heh :p

5. You can change the default browser from the blackberry browser to Internet Explorer or Firefox ;  This gives you FULL browser pages, and not Mobile versions if you prefer this.  This is done while in the browser, hitting the BB menu button, options, then browser configuration...

6. You can delete several messages at once, easily,  just tap the first message, then tap the last message, all messages in between will also be highlighted ......

7. Hopefully everyone knows how to change the wallpaper ... just go into media, pictures,  select the one you want, use the BB menu button and choose to use that picture as home screen..

8.  As a note, there are TONS of apps out for the Storm (some more games as well, even a couple that use the accelerometer), in an ongoing thread at crackberry.com in the Storm forum..

9.  Please go into Options , Screen/Keyboard, and change your hover, tap, sensitivity settings to 100, 100, 6 (high), or whatever your prefer.   Too many complaining about lag/delay without even attempting to adjust the standard (default settings) to something more inline with "their" speed/use......Its like PC users leaving the mouse/tap settings at default, instead of adjusting for your individual preference/skill/speed, heh :p]]></description>

<title>The new Nokia N97</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23427819</link>
<description><![CDATA[I just saw this phone called the nokia N97 in youtube, man its such a cool phone, I really really want to have this phone, when is this phone going to be out in the market, i hope soon. I'll bye this phone as soon as it comes because I really loved the video that I saw in youtube. Just can't wait anylonger for this baby to come in. I damn sure that this N97 is going to become the number 1 phone and it will definitely beat the market of the Sony Ericsson X1. Guys do you have any Idea on how much this phone will cost? I really need to know because I have to start saving for this high end phone. 
I have read that N96 is a better phone that iphone, is that right? People also say that it has cooler and better features than iphone, ok one quick question, Does this phone really have a bigger or wider screen than iphone? I heard that the iphone has the biggest screen compare to any other touch screen phone, What do you guys think, is the N97 going to beat the apple iphone as well?

THANKS ALL AND GOOD LUCK............]]></description>

<title>[Blackberry] Blackberry storm browsers</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23404313</link>
<description><![CDATA[I posted this at crackberry and was curious on thoughts here. 

Here is my experience so far. Please tell me if I am missing any options that alleviate the cons of one browser or add the pros of one to another. Feel free to mash my face in as long as you're educating me on my ignorance of any of the following programs in the process.  My goal here is to learn something about each browser so that I can have a good browsing experience on this phone. 

Blackberry browser.

Pros:

Integrates well with phone. meaning, 

a) When I hit URL bar, keyboard displays. 

b) Works with the clickscreen. 

c) I can hit menu to copy and paste from the URL bar without using that abortion of a text entering method I must use with opera mini. 

Cons: 

Takes 3 minutes to load pages opera mini will load in 15 seconds. Is slower than a Pentium II running XP.

Opera Mini 4.2

Pros:

Actually loads pages within reasonable timeframe. 

Cons:

a) Sometimes, when typing a URL, if I hit o twice(as in google), p will show up. This has happened enough times for me to know I was not accidentally hitting P. I watched o light up as p appeared. It thinks I am using a 9 key phone where I hit o twice to get to P. 

b) Keyboard does not show when I go to type in the URL bar.

c) Menu key does not allow me to paste in URL bar unless I somehow get it to use the "old" non-inline input method. 

d) Requires I touch a url for a second instead of working with clickwheel. Slows clicking. 

Bolt. 

Pros:

a) Faster than BB browser. 

Cons:

a) Can't paste into URL bar. 

b) Fonts are utterly disgusting compared to opera and default browser.

c) Is a royal pain in the *** to touch URLs. I am always touching the wrong one, or not touching what I am touching. This doesn't happen in opera or bb browser. No integration with clickscreen.

Opera Mini 5 beta.

Pros: 

a) Unlike Opera Mini 4.2, the keyboard will be hidden then pop up when I click the URL bar. INTUITIVE!

Cons:

a) until one revision ago I couldn't even get it to visit websites after typing an address and hitting enter.

<title>[Sprint] Normal ringtones on sprint?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23432823</link>
<description><![CDATA[I'm waiting to replace my Samsung M320 with a Hero but in the mean time i'm going nuts because i can't find a decent ring tone. The phone itself doesn't come with normal ringtones and everything on the sprint site is either a song, a dumb sound effect or a midi that sounds like rejected background music from the old zelda games. Is it at all possible to have the ring tone sound like a ring?]]></description>

<title>[AT&#x26;amp;T] leaving a voicemail without dialing on att?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23412761</link>
<description><![CDATA[i was trying to leave a voicemail for someone because i didn't want to wake them but wanted them to have the voicemail when they saw the phone. i'm on att with an iphone. i always remembered when i was with verizon and cingular previously, that i could dial my voicemail number and then hit "leave a message" or something similar, dial the number i wanted to leave a message and that was it.  i tried numerous times last night but that option never came up! is it because i'm on an iphone or does att not allow that anymore? it comes in handy sometimes and it's a pain if i can't do it.  the other person is also on att who i was trying to leave a vm for.]]></description>

<title>[Nextel] Need Direct Connect and Exchange Sync - Recommendations</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23393405</link>
<description><![CDATA[Our organization has about 35 users and relies heavily on NEXTEL Direct Connect. We are now looking at upgrading some of those users to mobile mail/web, but need to retain the PTT capability.

It looks like the pickings are pretty slim for phones with both Direct Connect and Activesync capability...the i930, which has poor reviews. The only other option appears to be a Blackberry with PTT, but I assume this would require BES to push mail.

We are currently running BES for a single user (free) with a Blackberry on another carrier, but it is doubtful the bean counters will spring for a multi-user license.

It there any way to push Exchange mail/calendar items to a BB on Sprint/NEXTEL without BES?

<title>Gerneral questions about GSM...</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23412282</link>
<description><![CDATA[Just curious about some things on how GMS network works - have a few questions.

For example once I put my T-Mobile SIM card into my BlackBerry phone - they will see the BlackBerry IMEI number? or when do they see it/know it?

What about if I turn on a T-Mobile branded BlackBerry - will T-Mobile still see the IMEI number connect to them? as I am able to still make an emergency phone call...

Besides IMEI number, anything else identifies my phone?

Thank you...]]></description>

If someone could PLEASE set me straight on how many messages this phone can really hold, I would be so grateful.]]></description>
