Blackberry storm?

[ojmagg]

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.

I only worry about the U.S. and as a former at&t customer I agree that Verizon is better.

Good points...once you get used to a device, you do get a better handle on it...Verizion is limited to the US

...but with the iphone, you get a killer user interface...java enabled web pages...zoom in and out is as easy as pinching your fingers together...to zoom out spread them apart...you get the app store...lots of cool little goodies...free games, utilities...I'm waiting for a scan gage type app...not to mention i-tunes...just downloaded Skype...I can't wait for the new interface this summer...instead of having to get new hardware, you get a free OS revision...It's a well thought out device that is simple to use.

No one has mentioned HTC....wonder why?
I'm using an O2 Xda Orbit 2 and love it. Sure, this is UK's O2 wireless rebrand of the HTC Touch Cruise, but it's a "smartphone", GSM quadband, works in the U.S. on AT&T's 3g network, has GPS capability, runs on Windows Mobile OS and does not have a full keyboard but keeps a larger (touch) screen with a simple keypad and navigation wheel thingy.

HTC has some very cool phones, most are marketed overseas and some don't have the 3g capability in the U.S. unless they are picked up by our U.S. carriers and given a different name. Only ones I found (for AT&T) was the Touch Diamond, Touch Pro and Touch Cruise. Anyways, I'd say keep on eye on HTC and maybe see what they have or will have....depending on needs.

They arent bad phones I am sure since G1 is made by htc.



I had a treo that used windows mobile and I hate that OS. maybe was my dumb luck. I love palms OS and would like to try others.. Why i can I not be one of those people that test out gadgets for a living

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..."
