So I don't know why that BB Dev Advisor says that you can't control which way the screen slides. All of the native Storm apps seem to be able to.
Because native RIM apps have access to all kinds of stuff that 3rd party software does not.

I am not often careful and slow when swiping. I wonder what people would think about only being able to change location on the main Conditions screen? Or is this too limiting and I should just control myself? Is there another solution to this?
I wondered if this might be a problem but I don't have a Storm to play with so didn't know if it was a likely scenario.

Two things I can think of for this:

1) Add an option so each user enable/disable the vertical swipe action
2) There is a getSwipeMagnitude() API call which gets the distance in pixels traveled of the actual Swipe. Maybe, by setting that to a high number, only large Swipes would get registered to change the location?
