Fixes for the BlackBerry OS 5 themes bug
43 Comments
This is an open thread for anyone who owns a BlackBerry Storm2 to comment what they think of the device so far. Are you happy with the device? Do you have any gripes with the Storm2?
Here are a few pros and cons to get the discussion started:
Pros
- It has WiFi! My wallet really appreciates it.
- Multitouch has big implications for not only the device, but for upcoming software.
- The typing experience is definitely improved. While it’s hard to say whether it’s faster, it definitely feels better.
Cons
- After the OS 5 update to the Storm 1, the typing experience on the Storm2 isn’t a huge leap forward.
- The screen has been sticking for me every now and then.
- The vibrate feature could be a little less intense.
The latest theme from Bplay is looking very nice. It’s an animated theme called Waterfall that features running water and a tropical bird flying around your homescreen.
Also, remember how we posted saying that OS 5 is breaking themes? Well Bplay are now including a warning message on their themes saying: “IMPORTANT NOTICE: Themes may not function properly on BlackBerry Storm 9500 and 9530 devices that have upgraded to BlackBerry OS 5.0.”
Hopefully this gets resolved soon.

The first devices to be offered include the BlackBerry Bold, Curve 8900 and Pearl 8120. Will these be shipping with OS 5, RIM?
