BlackBerry® Storm™

Do any of you ever get this Exception Error?  It seems I am getting it more frequently when look at pics on twitter. My research thus far says not to worry that it is a Java problem and not a device or software issue. Do you agree?

I would re-load the software into the device though.

Do a web based upgrade of the OS from VZW website:

it will give you 2 options... choose the  webbased upgrade

after the upgrade you should not have these java.lang.NullPointerException anymore

Sorry it took me so long to reply. Out of town on business. I found that my call log was corrupt. So I cleared it in the Desktop manager. The new version updated my device and I have not had a problem since. Thanks for pointing me to a corrupt folder. I did not have a clue where to start. Have not had this  java.lang.NullPointerException since that time and device now works better than ever.
