most of Storm's issues are software-based...
and the iphone being reliable? ha! tell that to my friend that has taken his in for service 3 times in the past year.
I would get the Bold if you don't like the touchscreen on the Storm.... the Bold is a speed demon for power users...
no patch notes yet since it's leaked. Wait for the official one for that.
but in general, most users have noticed improvements in :
- OS speed
- camera speed
- stability
- battery life
- touchscreen responsiveness
I have .83 installed on mine. Overall speed is faster espeically the Camera, which is now usable when you need to take a quick snapshot. There are still some minor bugs and glitches (this is a leaked OS afterall) but the official one should be even better.
If you guys go search crackberry...
get the iphone then - it's made simpler to use (even a grandma can use one).
don't switch for the bold since a CDMA version will come out soon anyway. I don't get why people switch networks for ONE PHONE (except for the iphone, I guess) since phones come and go but the network is always...
the camera issue is improved dramatically with firmware .83. It is about 2 or 3 times faster when taking shots and the screen doesn't go black anymore - great great improvement.
The blurry shots will happen on ANY camera phone when shooting in low light - low light = lens needs to open up =...
nope. I love it.
There is a learning curve to get used to it, though, and I know for sure that some traditional BB users will not like it.
This phone is definitly a try-first-before-buying type of phone.
With recent firmware updates the phone got better and better (and faster) so I...
air vents are on the side... and yes it's a dvd/receiver.
I think I'll drill some holes on the sideboards to give it more air flow... thanks for the reminder.
minor update: built a simple stand and put the JVC main unit right underneath the TV... it may be a LITTLE high for my liking but we'll see how it goes. I plan to make a couple speaker stands so that I can raise the 2 front speakers up to eye-level.
*the wide-angle lens made the keyboard and...
I'm using this model as my PC monitor as well and haven't noticed any significant input lag that prevents me from playing FPS (Far Cry 2, COD 5, COD 4... etc).
as for PC use... check out this thread:

You should...
yeah something like that.
They're probably the most reliable PC speakers I've ever had... bought them at least 7 years ago, took 'em to 3 different cities during my student years and they still work perfectly even today.
They just don't make them like they used to, I suppose :(
update... my old speakers broke so I had to buy a new set. Didn't want to spend too much but wanted something that'll do DTS, DD, and has optical inputs. Luckily I was able to find this HTIB set on clearance for $99 canadian at a local shop! Can't go wrong at that price espeically when using...
Just got the game last night and OMFG this game is amazing!
I used the photo-mode to take these shots... had to resize them (originally 1920x1080) to save bandwidth:
pardon my french but holy shit.
Get this game if you have a PS3 and KINDA like going fast.
check this thread that someone posted... I put up some of my pics

I don't know if the newer GP3U have the same panels as mine or not, though (but they should be)
i also use a 32'' 1080p Sharp Aqous TV as my main monitor and it's been great! Like others mentioned you can just sit back into the chair and can still see the screen quite clearly.
playing games on it is a blast too.
btw, most newer games allow you switch aspect ratio (to 16:9 which is...
I recently sold mine after owning it for about 1 year... been an excellent monitor for PC (great colors, no ghosting/lag for PC gaming, great viewing angle) and Blu-ray+PS3 gaming.
yeah... seems fine on my unit. I don't have problems with red blue or yellow text.
ignore that white dot near the top... my camera's got a few dead pixels :-p
1920x1200 is the standard res for a 16:10 ratio PC monitor
1920x1080 is the standard res for a 16:9 ratio HDTV
there've been some newer monitors coming out now with the narrower 16:9 ratio but you lose 120 pixels on the vertical side compare to the typical 16:10 PC monitors.
Not one is...
according to XFX's website, the warranty is "modder-friendly", so one would think that it covers modding internally(overclocking) and externally(fan/heat sink).
My rig = in my sig, no overclocking at all on any of my components (yet), and I play COD4 @ 1650x1050, all settings maxed out, 4xAA, everything on, and I get on average 50fps and I'm MORE than happy with that setting...
had an 8600GT 256MB before and I could just barely run it at 1280x800, no...

I only noticed the overscan after visiting a buddy that has his PS3 hooked up to a Sony XBR4 TV...
I have a 24 and at first it felt GIGANTIC but after about 2 weeks or use I actually thought that a 27 or 30 would've been perfect.... so no, a 24 inch won't be too big at all. it also has a lot to do with how close you sit to the monitor, though, so take that into consideration as well. I would...
omg I'm so tempted... I mean, I love my 24 inch LG 246 but at $499.99 I can SELL my LG and get this one without too much loss... same resolution but 4 inches bigger = I can sit back from my desk even more! :eek:
the reviews are mostly positive as well... hmm... How's the brand itself though...
I noted this issue in one of my posts from awhile back:

I'd say the word "slight" is an understatement. lol What's strange is that when I set the PS3 to output "1080i", the vertical portion actually displays properly with NO cropping...
