you need to have the phone verticle for the acelerometer to work fast and you need to close apps you dont use regularly! The BB will run apps in the background unless you close them.
the whole tilt lag is bias. your phone is tilted back slightly so it will take longer for it to switch from portrait to landscape and vise versa!! keep the phone vertical.. do not tilt it back as you turn it side to side and you'll be fine.
Oh for.. this phone is an in store phone. They are played with constantly and people leave the apps open so it drags down the speed. If you just hit the "End" button, it won't close the apps. You have to hit the BB button and then click on "Close". Plus this is an old vid when the Storm was on the .65 OS which was glitchy. The new OS repaired the issues with the phone. I haven't had any issues at all with my Storm. It's truly the best device I've ever had.
You know, I can't deal with the negative comments here. What do you want from this guy? He's showing a live shot of the Storm being a piece of shit. RIM needs to release an update quickly. I will note that the iPhone 2.0 software was crappy when released also... and in the same way that iPhone 2.0 felt like beta, I believe that the Storm was rushed out the door too soon. It'll get better, but for now, stick with the Bold or Curve if you need a real Blackberry.
its complete bullshit you try to call yourself professional BB shouldnt even give you a phone if ur gonna just bash them and try to get ppl to switch to apple fuckin fanboy
wooow really guy? why dont you turn the phone like a normal person and the phone will work like its supposed to. no one would ever turn the phone like that! you cant expect the phone to be perfect! of course its guna need its updates!
It's not switching because you are rotating it so slow. It actually would never rotate if you moved that slow but you aren't holding it still so the accelerometer is detecting it moved.
why don't you tilt it vertically instead of diagonally, and plus i think you may have to update the os, there were some major fixes on the latest update
Umm hello your facing the camera at an angle with the phone not straignt up and so you need to have it facin straing and then move to the side. which then activates the accelorometer. If you moved to the side at an angle of coarse its not goin to change. Duh. then it defeats the whole purpose.
Really, last I noticed BBs were one of the best to handle multiple applications at once. WM is not that great at it and the iphone can't do it period. These are smartphones, not computers. My goodness.
exactly. i never said anything about blackberrys, im complaining about the storm. it should live up to its expectations of a blackberry and be able to handle that many messages and applications and still run smoothly.
The memory card will not make it faster. That's only for storage. I couple things could be the issue. Either he has a REALLY early software release, or maybe he has a BUNCH of things running in the background. On a BB, if you don't close something with the close option it'll stay open.
Welp they fixed it now.

1. You moved the Storm into a horizontal plane WAAAAY too slow. No wonder the accelorometer kicked in late. Surprised it did at all.
2. you had over 230 messages and running a rediculous amount of applications at once
All in all, this video is fucking sabotage by an iPhone lover. Nice try Slash Gear, you fucking biased assholes.
