  • is there wifi?

  • is this overall a good phone?:-)

  • android number one !

  • a HTC HD7 is the BEST!!

  • Does this have BBM and WIFI ? please reply

  • @e1hamz no wifi but it does have bbm, your gona need a data plan

  • Nice gadget.., :)

  • iPHONE can't see the nokia N8 lol

  • There's a lot of hate for the phone for its lack of wifi. Although wifi should be on every smartphone and PDA, I really think that it doesn't matter as more and more carriers have mobile internet available with more phones. So unless you're bound to use wifi, you it shouldn't affect you at all.

  • should i get this fone for a free upgraded and also is the internet free on the storm

  • Lol nvmnd not the storm 2 srry

  • It DOES have wifi

  • if a bb dont have WIFI i cant use msn facebook etc ?

  • i want the torch instead of this

  • how do u access to mail, or aim or yahoo if it doesnt have wifi... n how much it costs with a SIM card??

  • since there is no wifi can u use ur mobile networks internet?

  • If you Google"Blackberry Storm wifi",there is a download which allows you to use wifi on the Storm.

  • @mralpaters1 is this downloadable via usb cable?

  • good video but ur boring same with all parts

  • in the screen of the device it reads 1XEV, so wich is it? 1x or Evdo? confusing

  • the click when he touches the screen is he presses the screen and it clicks or is it a sound generated by the phone when he taps the link?

  • he clicks the screen. so he basically presses like screen like a button

  • do you have to update the phone yourself?

  • argh me too i was planing on gettin this. might just get the bold.

  • damn no WiFi? even my BlackBerry 8830 WE has WiFi...thats a turnoff, but I really want a touchscreen, the iPhone can kiss my ass for what they want at AT&T

  • bberry storm 2= wifi

  • dont get a touchscreen! its just fashionable and its annoying when you have to type msgs!

  • i was planning on getting this, but after i heard that this phone doesnt have wifi it totally changed my mind on getting it.

    thanks for the video very informative

  • if you want to wait a couple more weeks the new storm 2 has wifi

  • thanks dude i was debating what verizon phone to get i have the en v orange and green and was getting tired of that and wanted a blackbery you helped me decide thanksman storm all the ftw

  • i like more bold and curve

  • i just got mine . and its ok . after u update it oofcorse

  • what's the difference with a tap and a clik?

  • wtf? no wifi? screw this phone!!!

  • would u say the envy touch is better then the blackberry storm

  • What a shitty phone.

  • utter turd

  • Yes, I meant the second gen. RIM's CEO already confirmed that a second generation touch screen blackberry is in the works for release in the fourth quarter of 2009. Now whether it will be called the "storm" is yet to be seen. It's supposed to launch with blackberry 5.0 OS

  • every review i seen on this phone is old. With the new up date the phone is way smoother and has a lot of new handy features you will find to be awesome. There are a few apps that are kind of a must, but they are free. If you aren't an idiot you will find this phone to be way better then the iphone 3G and on par with the iphone 3Gs maybe still better.

  • I updated and it was just as bad as before.

  • i'mm getting one tomorrow! so i really cant wait. but i really dont get why they didnt add wi-fi :(

    but no matter, i have fee unlimited internet anyways! ahaha, cant wait!

  • In my opinion, you should have waited for the storm 2 (maybe october) to come out. It will have WiFi

  • storm 2??? are you serious??? no other blackberry phone had a two, why the storm?

  • Probly means Storm second gen

  • yes, i fukin know, retard

  • should i get a blackberry storm or a blackberry flip?

    and he said this has no wi-fi, so does that mean i can't connect it to my wireless modem?

  • wait for the blackberry storm 2 if you want wifi with your storm

  • obviously the storm and yep you cant connect to your modem sorry

  • yh, but most contracts will give you unltd data over 3g

  • This is a great review.

  • is should i get black berry storm or en v touch

  • This phone doesn't measure up to the iPhone 3GS. iPhone is still the best touchscreen ever. And now it's the top selling camera over Canon. iPhone FTW

  • Does it have gps

  • the iphone sucks

  • I agree hd the iphone 3G it was so annoying so i got the Blackberry storm so much nicer and better do u have the storm

  • You've got to be kidding, I don't Iphone I have two of the storm they suck. My brother in law traded his in and now swears by the Iphone.

  • iPhone would be better if it wasent just with AT&T. that carrier is really fricken expensive!

  • i want this phone so fucking bad but verizon wont approve me and at&t did verizon is good but they are so hard to go through

  • what u mean they are hard to get through?

  • i think you would want to get it unlocked then so you can use it with at&t. but im not really sure looking more into the unlocked blackberry storm if any one knows please reply.

  • does it have wifi?

  • No but it does support 3G

  • The problem with people reviewing other smart phones other than the iPhone, is everything is compared to the iPhone's capabilities. Like its internet browser or its touch screen. You have to remember that every company has a different touch screen setup. Apple's is a very unique kind, but that isn't to say it is better. It's just what everyone is used to.

  • you are sooooo correct!

  • @sarke14 thank you finally someone who actually understands that. i hate when blackberries are compared to iphone because blackberry is made for email and messaging and allll buisness and to have onference calls and chats with co workers iphone you dont get that directly on iphone like bbm where you can ust have private chats like that iphone i see a smore of a phone to have fun on and stuff

  • wifi is there or not?

  • doesnt support wifi sadly:(

  • so you have to pay for the internet?

  • $30 a month blackberry unlimited plus email $50 or $55 for corporate, not sure

  • you have to pay for the internet for the iPhone too

  • no wifi? that sux balls

  • This is one of THE BEST phones EVER.

  • the reason that the phone freezes up is because it has a relativley low internal memory of only 1 gig thats what i think.

    i think that the programs that the blackberry uses are rather high in memory usage.

  • thats why it ships with an 8 gig mem card

  • i think he is talking about memory not storage

  • He means RAM(Random Access Memory).

  • lolcats ftw

  • The reason why people go crazy over the wifi is b/c not every spot has 3g and internet use..so they use wifi in stores,hotels and other places...

  • Mine is the best one ever. I love my storm :-)

  • how much did your entire deal end up costing you? im pretty interested in getting one(:

  • i think that the blackberry screen is 100x better to type on then the lg dare that i have.

  • k so which is better: blackberry storm, curve or bold??

  • That's really up for you to judge. The Storm and Bold are the newer models over the curve. But, both are fairly good. You really at that point need to decide if you want touch screen or real keys. Go to a verizon store and play with both and see which you like better.

  • i agree the new curve is nice but i prefer the keybord of the bold which i like alot i have alot of dropped calls with att and i keep getting dissconnected from the servers so im probably switching to verizon in the near future probably getting the storm too

  • If you do get a storm let me know how it is. I myself am thinking about getting one and just want to hear as much feedback on the device before I finally decide to get one.

  • yea i wennt to verizon today and i like it alot just as much as the bold just the keyboard lags on the storm cause its touch and u have to click but its worth it im gunna get it sometime next month cause my calls never go through on att

  • Okay well I have had my storm for about 3 months now. and let me just say it is my favorite phone ever. however, the only downfall of this phone is that sometimes it freezes up and the only way to revive the phone is to take the battery out and put it back in.. I don't really understand it because it has a loading bar and it does this for like 3 minutes. after it completes that it says media secured or something like that.. hopefully this helped you out!!

  • i really dont like how the screen clicks...

  • Looks like a nice phone; however, RIM could work on it a little more. It looks slow and somewhat big. I also didnt see a 3.5mm jack on it.

  • the only bad thing about the storm is dat there is no wifi everything else is briliant

  • what is RSS?

  • yes

  • can u watch youtube on the storm?

    if it does im getting it if not imma go with the iphone

  • say my comments is good if you are cool!

  • i am so gonna try and get this phone now

  • Hopefully they will make another version of this with little errors (Y)

  • You can zoom all the way out by pressing the back button once...sometimes twice...might be a bug

  • how do youtube vids look on it?

  • Terrible. But that is only because the blackberry can only use the mobile verison has such a low bit rate. But, probably people will make some third party app or something so it will improve.

  • you have icanhascheezburger in your browser history. lol

  • does it cost for the browser?

  • i might get this for x mas. or i might get the envy 2. i just dont like the idea of tuch screens. in the long run it scares me that it might now work.

  • admit it or not FUK BOTH OF THEM I HAD THEM SO FUK THE NO KEYWORD ITS ALREADY A NONONO

  • can i use storm with my modem

  • storm or omnia?

    i really dont like the omnia menus, cuz their just plain and not very colorful..

  • do you have to pay extra for internet, and if so, do you have to have the internet

  • its required u have an email plan and yes u either get unlimited data or get raped by charges =\

  • Thank you so much for this review. It has enlightened me from all the storm flamers saying it's a piece of junk. It doesn't seem as bad as they've reviewed it to be. Keep up the awesome work!

  • Yes, and this review was posted on the 23rd of November, so the 12/6 update will have improved most of the lags and what-not (including the laggy accelerometer) that you see in this video. :)

  • how much does the storm cost a month if you already have a plan with vzw?

  • Well if you mean the price of the actual phone, it is $199 with a new contract, or $499 retail (if you don't get a new contract). I think when you purchase the phone you need to get a data plan (the prices vary on that).

  • they need 2 show how aim looks on this phone

  • wow people r so pressed over their iphone its just a phone it aint ur life shit wtf crazy azz people

  • its noot just a phone its an IPHONE .... get it right

  • what about your iASS

  • this video needs to show youtube

  • crap product

    bad selling skills

    rip off

    too much money

    lame ads

    dumb salesman

    dont buy

    beware

    warning

    ripp off

  • which is be iphone i heard really suck and bbstorm is really good an i did allot of resource and im at the bottom where i need help badly i want to get this one but is it good though?

  • touch screen sucks, it kinda lags, but i like the feature that you hear it click too but annoying too. and the iphone is still better, no wifi built in kinda sucks, because it will consume less battery when your connected to your home network when you dont want to use 3G network...

  • battery power has nothing to do with either 3g or wifi. Either would drain the battery all the same. Granted wifi would be faster, but who cares??? The phone is just as good as the iphone and at&t can shove their 750 deposit right up their asses. The storm rox and browses way faster than the iphone. It has an app store too and will do MMS.

  • H0rcrux, you continually talk without even a hint of knowing what you're talking about. wifi most definitely will drain a battery more. It has to constantly poll. "Are there any wifi networks? Are there any wifi networks?" That takes extra juice to do that! And as someone who actually HAS an AT&T account (so I'm not pulling shit out of my ass like you are), you don't need a $750 deposit to open an account.

    I've seen your posts and I suggest you stop them now!

  • I suggest that you get your dad's balls out of your mouth. But that doesn't mean you will. You are clearly an Apple butt buddy so STFU.

  • Lololololol, still saying dumb shit, I see? This is what we have from you so far:

    o Wifi isn't free in McDonalds and Starbucks for iPhone users

    o You need a credit score of 810 and a $750 deposit to get an iPhone (dumbass).

    I give you credit. Most people, upon realizing they made a bunch of incorrect statements and got their ass handed to them for that would just shut up. Not you! Instead, you say, "Well if I can't make any sense, I'll just throw insults around!" I repeat, LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!

  • haha im with u....iPhone has no competitor

  • Blackberry Storm costs more then the iPhone!

  • if u dont buy a contract.

  • Comment removed

  • how?

  • Comment removed

  • i have no idea :S i was just wondering how the iphone is better

  • Storm doesnt drop calls its louder,screen is the same who cares. Its web browser is faster,storm has apps too. Thier really all the same.

  • Comment removed

  • and the g1 beats them both, sooooo its pointless to even argue it

  • Comment removed

  • physical keyboard, wifi, open source android os, faster web browser based on the webkit engine................i could keep going

  • ok...maybe this keybored wins......iphone has wifi too......actually the firmware is better....more apps.....and safari is better

  • firmware? how is that better? ya it does have more apps for the time being, g1 has been out only a few months and iphone has been out for years so ok.....and both browsers on both phones use webkit so thats tough to argue which one is better......my earlier comment was mostly comparing the g1 to the storm

  • Why is wifi such a deal breaker for people? If you're paying to use the internet and such on your phone why even have wifi?

  • yea i agree my bold has it but even when im home i never use it it takes too long to connect and its not much fasterno joke porn is faster on 3g hahahahaha

  • have you used wifi over edge or even 3g? the difference is night and day

  • what if you aren't paying for internet?

  • Personally I'd have to ask why get the phone at all then? I would rather have my laptop to use wifi over any phone. ((That's just me though)) To each his own though right?

  • lol your name is dragonfire...noob

  • isnt it obvious

  • Comment removed

  • storm costs 1 dollar more to manufacture than its retail price

  • Storm's pure manufacturing costs come to $205. With Verizon plan, it is $199, without a contract or unlocked, it comes to $500-750 depending on where you get it. Usually they do not do that when introducing a new phone. Usually costs less, but with the plan, it'll make up for it. $5 above, that's what competition with the iphone will do for you.

  • why does it cost so much to make? what the fuck

  • That is because the blackberry storm is better. Or that is my opinion at least...

  • it has some nice things... i would try it

  • this phone still sucks. It's just like when the IPhone came out. It'll take a while until Blackberry gets it together. Right now I can't figure out this crappy browser to save my life. My browser only displays the VZ Mobile version. Fucking aggravating!

  • Another feature that was largely annoying with this phone is the delay between each screen. If you want to go to anything, there is about a 3 second delay.

  • update the os, its much faster now and they fixed alot of the bugs.. u can get it from bb's website or crackberry.

  • wifi is faster, lol

  • tru, but i found that (even back when i had an iphone, then iphone 3g) if im in an area with wifi, i will have access to at least one computer, so its much more beneficial and efficient to use said computer.

  • ferraridav, there are tons of places that you can have wifi access and no computer. For example, iPhone users get free wifi access in any McDonalds or Starbucks (and other places). Just today, I was on a long line waiting for food and decided to pull out my iPhone and surf the web. Not having wifi to me is a pretty big knock against it.

    Also, notice that the icons and graphics in general suck. When you go from portrait to landscape, it doesn't rotate the page. Instead, it simply redraws it.

  • i did not mean that there wont be places with wifi and no computer, rather that the places where i would use my phone and have wifi tend to have computers, either my own or for public use. i mean if im at starbucks, im either ordering coffee to go, there with friends or a date, or there to work in which case i have my laptop cuz i can do actual work with it. the graphics r more a matter of opinion, but me personally i like the minimalist design, it radiates a more professional ambiance.

  • Ok, fair enough.

  • I have used the storm since it came out. who cares if it doesn't have wifi. Its a damn phone. Also McDonalds wifi is no where near free, you have to pay even if you have an Iphone. The new firmware fixed anything you might think was wrong with the storm. and browsing wise it kicks the iphones ass. iphone users just can't give credit where it is due because ohh they are so roped in and they worship the mighty blue apple

  • Woah, get the sand out of your vagina, H0rcrux! You sound like a little bitch! If you don't care for wifi in your phone, I couldn't care less! I wasn't even talking to you. But you sound like an IDIOT when you make statements that are simply not true. I use my iPhone with wifi (FREE) all the time when I'm in a long line at McDonalds. Since you don't know, why don't you actually do some research (clearly, you didn't) before *guessing* whether wifi access if free at McDonalds for iPhone users?
