Rich_bloor, make sure also that you dont have lots of applications still open, hold down the menu button for a few secs and that will show u what is open. You should just have menu and standby in the list

im with you on this one, the storm is a TERRIBLE device.
i got 3 of them on a 1 month trial from voda, they all went back in the box after less than 1 day!
RIM really f**ked up with the storm
in comparison the bold which uses pretty much the same OS is BRILLIANT. the only fault i have found with the bold is that it struggles with high bitrate h.264 moves (HDTV) which is annoying as it means i cant use it to replace my ipod 100% (the ipod plays them fine). i can ofcourse convert them to normal mobile movies but im lazy :P
