This is the WORST update ever! When I heard about the update I was like, YES!!! Finally, a speedy blackberry with less bugs in it and some minor enhancements! Boy was I wrong! This update is a huge Reshard Evans kick to the face by Rim! I am done with Rim and will be moving on to Android finally. I guess we can expect this level of incompetence from a dying company. Man, I really liked Rim too..
Since my last update, I find that my clock bedside mode doesn't light up anymore. Not sure RIM will FIX the problem. My guess is that they will NOT.
I had the same problem when I updated, fortunately for me, I have the Verizon Insurance, and when my phone was damaged for another unrelated issue, I swapped it out with a new one, and that one had the older OS version on it. I am not upgrading! My next phone will either be an IPhone 5 or an Android sometime in July.
Blackberry is falling way behind, and its time to jumpship.. Too bad too, because I actually liked the Storm 2, they just needed to make it a little faster, and more upgradable.
Horrible update doesnt sync with contacts and lots of null, java errors. apps dont work well,. had to downgrade to slower os but bug free
como hago para actualizarlo? con que programa?
