Here on Thanksgiving Eve, we've got two juicy
Storm tidbits sure to make your Turkey Day that much more interesting. For starters, one fellow over on
HoFo has purportedly unlocked his touchscreen BlackBerry for use on T-Mobile's GSM network. Hot, right? The process involved sourcing a SIM unlock code from VZW, then updating the phone with software intended for the Bold. If you're not confused yet, you'll also need a dash of Elvish magic and a bit of luck, but you should know that you can't tap into T-Mob's 2G voice network and Verizon's 3G data network at the same time. Next up, the Boy Genius has it on authority that two firmware updates are but weeks away, both of which will target some of the many issues that early adopters have been
harping on since launch day. Hit the links below for more details on everything.

I've had the phone since 11/21 morning and I like it in general, however I am typing faster than my Storm can process.
After pounding out sentences I find myself waiting for the Storm to catch up.
Granted, it does, it shows what I typed, but it doesnt not register and process my keystrokes as quickly as I type them.
SO no, this phone is NOT for a typing enthusiast.
(and hello? that's what crackberry users are KNOWN for!!!!! come on!)
what number did you call to bet the code/ i called and they could not give it to me.
the people that say they got the code are lying
If Verizon doesn't give you a code
you can order one from and unlock your Verizon Blackberry Storm at www.Freeyourcellphone.com
They just added support for the storm yesterday, I just unlocked my storm and am happily using it with Rogers
wireless in Canada
So don't loose hope fellas :)
I was able to unlock the verizon blackberry storm and everything on the phones works properly EXCEPT the internet browser. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
