Storm updates
by Volker Weber
Good news first: Ute expected to not like the on-screen keyboard, but she is doing fine with it. The bigger screen makes it easier to read long messages, and you can move from message to message by swiping horizontally. The iPhone does not let you do that.
Bad news: I hate the screen keyboard. Same as with the SureType, I am constantly thinking about typing instead of what I want to write. A real keyboard just does what it needs to do, the screen keyboard needs attention. I also prefer the iPhone keybaord that I use with the index finger tapping on the screen over the Storm keyboard that I have to press hard with my thumbs.
These settings seem to improve the experience a bit and a few people have started stuffing the body with paper. Thanks to Abdelkader and Jacqueline for the tips.
Some people report that the accelerometer is slow to engage. For me it's actually a bit too nervous. It often rotates the screen when I don't want it to. What I think those people report is the overall sluggishness. The Storm sometimes goes into meditation to figure something out and then comes back. There is no hourglass to indicate this state.
The german description would be "Weder Fisch noch Fleisch" (neither fish nor meat). I keep thinking that bothh the Bold and the iPhone are better.
There is a new firmware floating around on the Internets under the name of 9500-100-OMADRM-All.exe which contains 9500-v4.7.0.70_P4.0.0.89:
Since this is not a public release it will phone home with status mails, unless you remove RIMInternalTools:
I don't care. Maybe it helps RIM find errors in the firmware.
