Marcus, I wish the .90/.148 combo worked as good for me. I absolutely love the color and the bigger keys on the keyboard!!! But, unfortunately, the reboots and freezing won't do.

Back on topic, I am really interested what bb got going there

lol we could all use a little more speed but the pros for me with .90 outweigh the cons. I remember that after .122 through .141 the SFI for .90 has issues. But when I saw your post stating they were compatible I had to jump all over it. Unlike others I have not had any issues with random reboots or the VSOD.

LOL!!!
I do believe the Atari 2600 came before the Commodore 64 (wow I'm dating myself as well, being I used to be a Atari 2600 game junkie back in the day :alcoholic: ). And the cool thing was the ability to play 2600 game cartridges on the Comm 64!! Talk about olde' skool pimpin.

Really looking forward to v6!
Oddly enough, I've been running v5.1 since it's release, and was forced to drop it just two days ago. I kept on getting serious memory drain, as well as constant reboots (I know.. WTF?).
Things like this make me wish that all Storms acted alike. But alas... they all seem to have their own personalities, in which case I think mine is bi-polar. at:

I know it's going to be awesome. For the first time, he is going to be using java files from 5.0 so that should greatly increase browsing speed. Knowing BBC it will be a great build. He does not disappoint.

Yep the atari def kickin it old school. Still break it out now and again. It's a classic like Donkey Kong.

One of the issues BBC has addressed with V6 is memory drain so I think you will be happy with that aspect of it. My storm is more manic depressive, tending towards the depressive side.

Crackman, jlevy73 and Marcus,
If the .90 sfi works well with .148, do you think we will see the same compatibilty with Crackmans v6?

I am on ATT and have been using v5.1 .132 with all BIS connection. It works absolutely wonderful but the other day I had a friend try to send me an MMS. The phone dropped to edge and would not come back until a battery pull.

With Crackman v3 and 3.5 I did not really have many issues with .90 but after that, I had issues. What are the reasons behind this? I hate to hijack the thread but I want my cake and eat it too.

LOL! I remember thinking I was the King when my dad brought home our Atari 5200..........badass

It may have to do with the different combination of java files BBC uses. Straight OS's like 132 work well with GSM users but some of the hybrids have caused problems with holding a steady EDGE connection.

I was converted long ago but dropped .90 after .122 came out because the files were not compatible. this trend continued until .141. So I had all but given up on .90 when I saw his post the other day :banana:

LOL just giving you grief I used .90 in almost everything until .132 so I know the feeling.

I was thinking of going this route today as a matter of fact but so far I am just to lazy

Actually the only reason I went this route was because of one nagging bluetooth bug. :alcoholic:

Exactly the same as myself. .122-.141 didn't play nicely with the .90 radio.......
C'mon Professor, try it......everyone's doing it
