I know this is not a BlackBerry Forum but as a last bit of info since we have the same phone and I've used .328 ... Always do a battery pull if you experience any app weirdness. I had PT "issues" cleared by a battery pull. Also, Poynt would start leaking memory any time I used it until I did a battery pull even if it was shut down correctly. I also had issues with VZ Navigator saying it couldn't navigate to locations until, you guessed it, a battery pull. No Visual Voice Mail messages would show up or VVM would give error messages ... battery pull. Starting to see a trend here I bet? Not sure how in hell Verizon released an "official" OS that doesn't work worth a crap with 2 of their own apps they charge for monthly but there ya go.
I would strongly recommend going to crackberry.com and get a copy of the official Storm 1 released from MTS phone company 5.0.419 for Storm 1. It is as close to "Gold Code" as we are likely to get and I absolutely love it and so does my Storm. EVERYTHING works right. Very good instructions there on how to upgarde an OS as well and in this case it is well worth the effort.
There is a rumor that there will be ONE MORE official Verizon release for Storm 1 in early March. It is actually an update for Storm 2 but is still compatible with storm 1 because it is not such big upgrade that it goes beyond Storm 1 memory capabilities.
After that, expect RIM to release OS 6 or at least a Beta of it and we will be screwed because Storm 1 will not have enough physical memory to support it.
