Blackberry storm?

[cyronman]

I agree Cy. I told my daughter if she Ace'd school I'd get her a phone of her choice, Welllllll she is and I hope she doesn't choose the iphone mainly due to if the battery goes bad you have to send it in and it's $100 (I'm told) plus no phone (I know pull the sim and put it in the extra razors laying around). And a Blackberry and most other "do-it-yourself" OEM batteries on feebay are about $15 or less to your door...

Welllllll, I don't know about Jacksonville, but in San Diego I think it's the law--if you're female, you HAVE to have an Iphone .
Good luck!

I have been thinking seriously about the Storm, but just heard from this thread about the G1..... me likey. I especially like the slide keyboard instead of the on screen one. Now... I just need to go play with them.

I've been using a Storm since December and I love it. It does take some getting used to but after that, It's been wonderful. I use it to do all kinds of things including managing this forum from it.

I don't know....!!! This seems like the best recommendation yet. He is our supreme leader and... well... a cop, but no deductions there.

Blackberry BOLD Baby!

I tried the storm, bold and curve. ...of those 3 the bold is the best...these devices are good for business connectivity. But, for the best all-around experience, ease of use and flexibility of the iphone. The AT&T network is not as good as Verizion...similar to Sprint...

I ran my Garmin GPS, played my 16GB of music and talked on the phone (At the same time) all the way to Texas 2 weeks ago. Alot of folks discredit the Storm as a "Business" phone but it's far from it. It is pretty much an anything phone that if given a chance, a real chance, will surprise you.

I disagree,AT&T is ranked as the best network my friend,verizon is pushing,but yet far.

With AT&T you go with your phone any where around the world,verizon don't give you that.

If I may interject. I see you live in New York which North East is perdominately GTE now verizon, however there is some Att legacy up in there just not sure how much since I am waaay south. My point is with anywhere you are your service will depend on the coverage area that company covers. It may not neccisarly be bad service your getting a company may have bought that air space so they will have coverage in that area. Now I have only had att so I cant speak of others but I know here where I live for whatever reason when I go on 820 over jacksborro hwy I will always drop a call, Verizon will not(per my brother). Now that doesnt mean verizon is better than att who knows it just means that they dont cover that one area. Also it may not be the service provider but the cables themselves. For instance Verizon may own Verizon's cable that goes to thier own cell site. Also Verizon may own cable that feeds att, tmble, sprints cell sites as well. So if cable is shoty service will be effected. I hope that has cleared things up some what. I guess what I am trying to say Choose what works for you. Att is global where Verizon isnt. Verizon's gsm doesnt make the static noise next to speakers, where as att does. Att is at 3g at the moment and verizon is rolling 4G soon which was unvieled at the CTIA Wireless show. Its all relative and now I forgot what was being discussed just had to chime in to try and celar things up that one company may not be as bad as others because there are other circumstances that may play a role. For instance my centreno whcih sucks right now with att because the phone shuts off for no reason and lags when texting. Not att fault its mine for droping my phone lol.


OK sorry was just reading companys news now and thought i would share a a little excert "...Verizon, a CDMA carrier, does not. Like Vodafone, AT&T says there's plenty of life left in GSM networks. With HSPA, GSM networks can whisk data at average speeds of 6 to 8 megabits per second, vs. about 1.5 mbps for CDMA..."

Look @ the palm pre. Watch the video of it from CES suppose to come out first half of this year after got pushed back from first qtr.

Its is a open platform using (forget what code its using have to watch video again) I think was html code along with something else so anyoen can write programs for it and there will nto be a learning curve.

Sorry throwing 2 cents in again.


Edit:: Oh yeah btw pre is full touch screen with slide out (from bottom not side) qwerty kb.

I just checked youtube and there's many tutorials on unlocking the Storm, of course you have to visit there web site and buy it, but I found a $9.99 one that accepts paypal.. I'm sure there are free one's somewhere. It's all done by entering a code..

I am using the blackberry storm I also use the microsoft mobile office on it and that is what sold me over the iphone. I have a touch and my girl friend has an iphone I just like my blackberry better than both. I have all my music on it and it never even hiccups. Only reason for the touch is I can't have a camera phone at work....
