I changed my mind about going with AT&T 9700 Bold 2 so I ending up going with Storm 2 9550 just got it today then I edited profile to change it so no confusion to be done.

I tried pressing *228 like 12 or 13 times and it keeps saying Activation has not been successful, does anyone know why? its very interesting device I have to say that. just have to get it going. solutions? ideas?

You've removed the battery to reboot?

What are you seeing on the homescreen?

Yes and I am seeing neat theme ( I think its new 5.0 OS ) I like it. I can see all options and it even detects my wi-fi router too!!

OK.

So what signal indicator are you seeing on the homescreen?

full 4 to 5 bars "3G" upper right corner , is that what you mean right? and shows bluetooth icon little bit to the left and then just under 3G it says wi-fi

Did you port your number? Or just got a new line

Sweet!! Everything is fine and I like it so far had to call Verizon to straight everything its fine now what's cool is when you type it out its almost like rim knows what you are going to say.
