- My Thoughts On The Verizon Blackberry StormNovember 3
-
Verizon has been trying to make up for passing on the iPhone. First it was the LG Voyager. It flopped. I mean it's not a bad phone but far from an iPhone killer.
Then in steps the Blackberry Storm. The hype, the marketing, the rumors have this phone set to be the next Verizon phone to challenge the iPhone. While I am a HUGE Blackberry fan and think the Storm is heading in the right direction for Verizon, I still think it's destined to fail for Verizon. Why you ask? It's simple, Verizon does everything wrong.
Ever since the beginning of Verizon they always strip the OS and add their proprietary software. This does not go over well with the community that would choose the Storm over the iPhone. One huge thing is Verizon still cripples the GPS for ANY and ALL third party apps. This is where Verizon truly doesn't "get it".
In closing there are the two main reason Verizon will NEVER sell a phone that kills the iPhone. At least not until they get smart, which I am sure will NEVER happen. - Netflix Performance & Quality Going Down The Tube?October 24

This past week was the worst I have experienced as a Netflix customer.
It all started when I began receiving DVD's that were deep in my Queue, then I received a DVD that was so scratched that I noticed it right when I removed it from the envelope. Keep in mind this was a new release as well. Last night was the big issue. I recieved Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and it was the bonus features disk.
Needless to say I am not a happy camper. I will be calling to complain today. However I don't think much will come of this.
My question is have any of you had issues with Netflix as of late? - Upgrade Your Verizon Blackberry Curve to OS 4.5 And Unlock Your GPS!!!!October 14

I had been looking for a way to upgrade the OS on my Verizon Curve. This proved to be difficult do to Verizon not officially releasing this version yet. I found this work around. After installing I also noticed that it unlocked my GPS to be able to be used by 3rd party apps. This was a huge pain at how Verizon locked the GPS before this update.
1. Make sure you have the latest version of Desktop Manager installed.

Bingo your done! - Dear Twitter, Just Tell Us The Truth.....October 6
-
I am beginning to think Twitter is hoping we all forget about the IM support we used to have. Yes, this is the same IM support that dissipated back in early April of this year.
Before the re-design of Twitter there was a badge that gave us the false sense they were actually working to restore the service. Now that it is gone I have the feeling they are hoping we all forget about it.
I myself would rather them actually come out and say one or to things. Either no we will not bring back IM support, or give us a date. This would at least keep us out of the dark. What are your thoughts on this?
