Day 1 with OS5 on the BlackBerry Storm
Tags :BlackBerry
I bit the bullet yesterday and went with the "gold" version of OS 5.0.0.328 from Verizon. One word, WOW. Speed, performance of memory and overall little changes make it very pleasant. Windows open quicker and close easily. Scrolling is fast and responsive.
When typing email in landscape mode, the SureType takes a whole new look and feel as shown here (fuzzy but I couldnt capture and use the SureType together so we took a nasty picture instead):
I can say it made the Storm even more useful and user friendly. One of those times where you say they would have gotten better press if it had come out the door like this.
UPDATE: I have had only one application issue and that was Google Voice with the new 1.6 that crashed. Otherwise everything else seems to be working great and just as fast, if not faster for some, as before.
