Yesterday I purchased a Storm, I didn’t go with the Storm 2 because I couldn’t justify the additional cost to get the WIFI capability (which seems to be the only difference between the two). This new Storm has the Blackberry 5.0 OS on it, and I also had to download the newest version of the BB messenger.

I did however want to mention that I was able to get Poynt to work my my device. I cannot imagine a reason why it would work on the Storm with the 5.0 OS but not the Storm 2. I have used Poynt on the Storm ever since I heard about the app and I LOVE IT!!

It did come preloaded with blackberry messenger. Strangely though, it did not come with version 5.0 which I had to upgrade to.

Basically, the carrier is only interested in preloading those apps which they know will make them more money off the average consumer. That’s why they preload the device with so many useless music apps. They know that the average Storm2 consumer is just going to say “I want ringtones” and use their service because they don’t know how else to get ringtones. The last thing the carrier cares about is preloading the Storm2 with software that will actually make the device experience better, eg QuickLaunch.

I can’t speak for the Vodafone Storm2 because I haven’t got my hands on it, but their site lets you at least choose what comes preloaded on the device.

The list is pretty lame though. No LaterDude Pro ;)
