Wow. Awesome. And it was so easy. I heard a few stories on the web of difficulties. But the people I spoke with over the last few days, incuding an older bartender, assured me it wasn't so bad. In fact, it was easy. When I got the notice for downloading on my screen, I panicked. Then I ignored it. Later, I plugged the unit into its docking charger, took a deep breath, pressed okay a few times, then took a nap. When I awoke an hour later, the update was complete and working very fine. Sure, I had to re-acknowledge permissions and settings on a few apps. Big deal. People are starving and being blown up in other parts of the world. I'll take a few app-resets, thank you. And my storm really does respond MUCH faster, cleaner, and it does a much better job of understanding what I am trying to type with my big thumbs. So, for a non-techie like me, I am quite happy. Thanks BBerry Storm Team! You made my day. I just updated my BBerry Storm. Wow. Awesome. And it was so easy. I heard a few stories on the web of difficulties.

My photos were re sized and would not fit on my wallpaper anymore. Lost all my text messages. Most all my apps were screwed up. Had to RE do them to work. I'm VERY un happy with there "new and improved" updates. It has caused me BIG TIME GRIEF... My point is I went through so much of a head ache I dont believe I will ever "up date" my phone again. Up dating may have improved something but it was not worth it to me for all the settings of mine that it changed. What gave then the right to screw up all my settings with THERE up dates.. BEWARE.

I am sure the second gen will be months late, like usual for RIM. Now I don’t know if I should go for a Storm now or wait for the Storm2.

It is definitely an improvement over the original software. I installed the leaked copy the day it was leaked. It is definitely an improvement over the original software.
