I purchased a new Storm 2 from a Verizon subscriber.He indicated that the phone is unlocked however after putting my t-mobile sim card and trying to make a call.I receive the message that the phone cannot be authenticated.Does this mean it is still locked?T-mobile says they cannot unlock the phone.What is the best method for getting the phone unlocked?

I've had my 9530 since about September. Today I was snapping a few pics, and the phone just locked up. Did a battery reset, and now it won't do anything! Keeps going from the black screen to a white screen with the little spinning clock and back? WHat happened?! I don't have insurance on the phone, but I don't think its an "insurance" issue as I didn't do anything. Is it still under warranty since I've only had it since Sept?

I don't go into those things for fear of doing that. It started last week when my phone was not showing my contact name with the phone number when someone would call me. I went to go and pull up a number today and my entire contact book was empty.I have already tried the following:

I seriously believe that there is a problem with my storm getting updated through my laptop. Since the phone is connected to the net, is it possible to update directly instead of via the laptop?
