That's the only problem. But RIM has a reputation to uphold. Verizon's lag in releasing Official OS's provided by RIM is only hurting RIM's reputation because as Verizon Customer's most of us are already locked in (Contract wise) So RIM will show hey, we have a brand new touch screen and we have a brand new OS. Complain to your carrier.Quote:

But that's a different topic...But as you said yes...the first gen Storm was rushed for sales...a device belonging to the most used phone business wise and corporate wise has no wi-fi to connect to a corporations internal secured wireless network but instead has to use Verizon's data plan? It was rushed...verizon was not satisfied...thus the lack in OS upgrades until the agreement for a 2nd gen upgrade.Quote:

I know I'll be online...would you Jlevy? lol
I still hope we will see more leaked OSs but you are right they have certainly slowed down. Hopefully we will start seeing more official OSs hit the street from different carriers. I know Telus is about to release a new one shortly.Quote:
