Long time lurker old CB member and it is time to post. Just talked to my rep he said they are unboxing all to flash firmware. I am a business customer of VZW and BES admin for long time so I get some info. As with anything could just be a rumor.
I think it is funny people actually liked the Storm 1. Wow with its memory issues I can load maybe one app if I am lucky and that was when it is brand new. I have had to replace it so many times my insurance will no longer allow me to replace. I have had no working camera for who knows how...
I have my 9530 and been holding out for a HTC on Verizon I liked. Also I am a BES admin and have been for many years. Needed to find a secure replacement. Running Good Technology in tandem with BES now and my CIO is happy to have is iThing back that I took away when I started.
