Anybody have a Blackberry Storm

Mach Killer · 06-17-2009, 12:45 PM

Just wondering if anyone had a blackberry storm. I am thinking about getting one, and just wanted some opinions.

zac had one for about a week and went back to the curve he hated it lol, i still got the old pearl

I know Dave, Jeff, & Darryl have them, I believe once you figure it out it's pretty nice. I have the Dare. I might upgrade to a Storm if my upgrade price is what I paid for the Dare.

ive heard some good and bad and just wondering. this guy has an unlocked one for a good price i just didnt know if its still worth it.

the new 3.0 software for the apple iphone is suppost to be one of the best out i heard

I like my storm, the only complaint I have about the phone is that the speed dial #'s only go up to 9, WTF, my last phone went up to 99#'s, much easier to save numbers with 99 speed dial #'s, Mike was 5(cell) and 55(home). I guess that's the littlest thing that pisses me off about the phone.

I have one and love it. The touch screen takes a little getting use to but I wouldn't have any other phone right now.

yeah, it's like $10 extra a month to have the storm, but that's b/c you don't have a limit on the internet on it and you don't have to pay by the kb or any of that stupid shit. I have three email accounts(hotmail, yahoo, and gmail) hooked up to it, and it's pretty quick about updating me when I have an email. Also, if your into facebook, you can link that account to it too, to get status updates, like if someone writes on your wall, you can write back from anywhere. It's hit and miss with the apps, I've been just using the free ones, so I don't know if the pay fer ones are better.

I would have went with an Iphone if it was on the verizon network, since it's not I went with the NEXT best thing. In my opinion, the storm ranks right up there with the iphone, so if your gonna get a deal on a unlocked one, I'd say get it.

the guy at the verizon store told me back in december when i got my dare that it was 30 more per month because of my plan. something about being a smart phone?

get a sprint curve, best deal for a data plan. simply everything plan is $100mo. includes data and navigation, plus some other stuff.

storm sucks.

I bought the storm. I love the phone but its a bit rough to use a touch screen and drive a forklift! And I always text at work so I am kinda stuck. It is unlocked, I use it with t-mobile. All the apps work as they would if i had verizon. Im wantin to sell it or work a trade deal for a blackberry bold or curve 8900. You can text me if you have any question 843-568-3355

I would stick with it for a little bit before you give up. I hated the touch screen for the first week but after that I got use to it and can type just as fast on it as i could my pearl. I text/ email and drive alot, so I know what you are frustrated with. I think you will end up liking it if you hang in there. My partner also has one and he is a techno retard. He could barely type on his pearl, but has the storm down pat now and loves it. If he can do it and like it, anybody can.

I just sold it...i think i made an ok choice though. I hope at least
