Well got two new Torch 9860 touchscreen with the new OS7 and two free playbooks with the phones. Apart from Optus (Aussie telco company) screwing up my details and mucking me about i hung in there. Friday 2 December all arrived. The instructions were all over the place so I rang OPTUS and passed on the relevant details...no worries mate they will be both activated. One was activated and the second one wasn't. Spent hours on tech support (Which sucks)...
One of the phones and playbook was not registered and does not exist. They told me I don't have it because their system say's so. Well thanks for the gift...Still need a 2nd phone that works.
Go back and forth to the local store and finally they make me resign and give me another phone and playbook that is activated. Now I have two phones and playbooks that are all connected and work.....(+ have spare torch and playbook in the drawer just in case)... thank god....Number 1 phone crashed about an hour after getting the new torch activated...it showed a app 606 error... searched internet and called tech support at OPTUS 4 hours later a software program from blackberry is used to fix it but...nup now i have a 507 error....tried again...told to go back to shop to exchange...get to shop but they cant take the phone unless i have box and all the bits...back home get all the bits...go back....have to pay for another phone in the mean time to have me up and going..wait a week to get a replacement...ah ha..i say I have a spare...go home turn on the unregistered freebie i have and away i go. so thought as it is not registered no BBM..but made calls (That will do I think)...then a hour later it crashes and freezed - have no access...so one out of three phones is only working - well I give up about to slash up i think !...at least the playbook is GOOD....as a new BB user I almost went to IPHONE.....give it a week if not -- back to plastics cups and pieces of string...that is more reliable then the TORCH 9860....
Answer:
When i got two Optus 9860's was to clear the Os and install the latest .540 Os7.
Both phones work fine, auto reset them every morning keeps them going well.
Battery life is a real issue, i dont get through the day. Hopefully a newer Os build will come out that will fix this.
Kindle was not in appworld but you can get it from the kindle site. Why many apps arent in AppWorld is beyond me. Weird.
Browser is super quick, love Social Feeds, Camera is excellent, the sports mode shutter is soooo quick. Video is good also, make sure you get a large micro sd card though, goes through the storage very quick.
Until they fix the battery issue I guess i could carry a spare JM1 battery.
