Had the Storm 2 since december and i am on phone no 3.... First one the screen calapsed on the one side, second on kept searching between edge and 3g and dropped calls.... So far in my experience it is a piece of junk... Now been waiting over 3 weeks for MTN to get stock from Overseas... Phone and service provider are both pathetic in my opinion.

Nigel, 08 Mar 2010Yes, the GPS and the Maps can be used in South AfricaNigel,
If you're on Vodacom you can take yr phone back to them and they'll sort out all the problems. Vodacom in SA has sent all their stock of Storm 2s back to BB/RIM for an update or upgrade. Apparently its more than just a firmware upgrade, but that's all the Vodacom salesperson could tell me. They'll be receiving their stock back in mid-March and hopefully that'll sort out all the problems such as freezing, dropped calls etc ...
A good friend of mine has a 9700, had it a week and has had it in the repair shop for 3 weeks now. :-(
And I'm still going for the Storm 2. Can't wait to get my hands on it in the next 5 weeks or so.

My wife got the 9700 and I wanted to upstage her and I got the Storm 2 (9520). Big mistake I should have gone for the 9700. Many problems, touch screen freezes while trying to make a call, during and after calls. The phone battery has been pulled so many times that the rear cover is going to fall off on its own one of these days.

The sure press is no good I have handed two blackberry storms 2 into my local shop because it blocks and you can not use the phone, you have got to take the batery out so it starts again and thsi takes quite a while.
Also the phone as someone said looses covarage and the same, you have got to turn the mobile off. IT SAIS CALLED FAILED!
I wouldnt recomend this phone, its a lot of trouble!

Has anyone made use of the GPS on this phone? I previously had a Samsung with the Garmin GPS, which was seriously brilliant. I know the 9520 comes with GPS, but can it be used in SA? Is it any good?
Thanks in advance.

I've had the storm 2 for about a week and a half now. I'm in sunny SOUTH AFRICA. I would luv 2 know if anyone else in SA is having a problem with their storm 2 losing network connection about 25 seconds into their calls. Great phone though.
