The bad press and feedback from the BlackBerry Storm2 has been never ending. That’s not to say that the Storm2 is a bad device, but of all BlackBerrys it has had the hardest time garnering mass appeal and its rivals have set the bar for quality incredibly high. My personal experience with the Storm2 has been varied. The Storm has some major bugs but it also makes apps looks really crisp and the larger screen is much appreciated.
Rumor sources are reporting that we may expect a worldwide (Verizon first) recall of the Storm2, as RIM have enhanced the touchscreen and made older models eligible for a replacement. Apparently, RIM has added silicone actuators to the touchscreen to improve the performance and tactile response. As of February 10th, 2010, all Storm2 devices contain this enhancement. You can identify these devices by a green dot on the master carton and/or date code on the back of the device (more details below).

Sprint may to be launching the BlackBerry Curve 8530 in Red. Currently, Sprint carries the device in black and violet, and red would make the 8530 the most colorful modern BlackBerry. I’m pretty sure Sprint launched the BlackBerry Curve 8330 in a variety of colors including red, and they probably had a lot of success with the color in the past. What about a neon yellow 8530?

Tether is today’s Deal of the Day in the BlackBerryCool Store. Personally, I think the tethering process is still complicated for the average BlackBerry user and this software really helps, but if you’re somewhat computer savvy you can do it yourself without paying. If you’re looking for a simple tether solution, it’s now $24.98, 50% off.
