> In reply to blackberrian @ 2010-10-12 19:29 from v35L - click to readHey! I used to have the 8520 and upgraded to the 9550. It has the same amount of memory for apps as the Gemini did. If I had waited until this weekend, I would've been able to get the Torch. But I've always wanted a Storm 2 and I am really happy with it. I chose the 9550 because it has 3G (CDMA)while the 9520 is EDGE. SurePress is pretty great. I can type just as fast as I could on my Gemini.

may i know that,this device has 2GB memory on board right,but how much it allocates for the "application"??

for instance,the old bold 1 9000 has 1GB internal memory but it only allocates somewhere about 40-60 MB only for the apps..this quite irritating coz i cant put many apps on it..only a few that i think is a must..whereas the new bold2 aka onyx n curve 8520 aka gemini have only 256 MB internal memory but it allowed all of the memory to be used as also for keeping the apps..but of coz after deduction for system use,it left about 128 MB but it ALLOWED all to keep the apps..plz tell me about it,as i looking forward to buy this as my next generation of BB..

It hangs. It lags like hell. Finally gotten rid of it though in the process lost a few bucks but glad to have got ridden of it now. Only thing good about it is mail and that too the blackberry services are damn expensive. Happy to be back on 3GS :)

> In reply to aamer0 @ 2010-10-02 08:01 from nv$e - click to readThe bluetooth on this phone works like how a p.c bluetooth does. Enable your bluetooth and pair with the other device as per usual. then go to media and then music or pictures depending on the file you wanna receive. then click on the bb sign and you will see a pop up menu.. select receive via bluetooth and select the device you receiving from and boom you connected. You will always have to select receive via bluetooth whenever you want a file. hope this helps

if u want to use bluetooth, don go direct n pair the device. Go to the files, e.g go to music then press options. Then click add music...

I am wondering if this phone is any use for a teenager or if it is mostly a work/business phone??? Are there any features a teenager might like?

> In reply to walnutpaste @ 2010-09-12 15:43 from UG0N - click to readHi, im from singapore also am i have been using this phone for 6 months or so already.

1. It may be faced out soon as there are rumors on the new storm 3. However note that that will not come too soon the earliest is about Q2 2011 estimated. Furthermore when this phone ships to SG it will take a couple more months so yeah.

2. The official word from RIM a few months back said that the only devices that are getting OS6 are the 9700, 9650, and 9100/9105 and future devices to come. Although they didnt specifically said that the storm 2 will not get os 6, you can pretty much discard your hopes on it.

3. Well the pros and cons are subjective but i'll just state my opinion. I love the surepress touchscreen the most as it's unique (no other phones in the mkt has this feature) and the speakerphones (both the headset and loudspeaker) they are loud and crisp. The camera quality is pretty decent as well for a 3.2MP camera with led flash. The cons would be that the browser currently does not support pinch-to-zoom. Furthermore only 1 tab can be opened at one time.

4. The download rate depends on ur internet connection so i cant really comment much about it. However there are some heavy websites such as engadget which lags a little when loaded.
