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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
@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
who ever is interested in purchasing the NEW black berry storm starting at $99 only shipping to USA auction is going to end in 24 HOURS.. so hurry up and check my listings on ebay .. id is norjal786
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!!
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.
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.
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. :)
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).
Very nice video. on my website you can search any mobile phone by using mobile search engine. Very easy to use when you search for anyphone you will recieve ads and info. Just go to my profile to see.
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!
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!!!
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
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
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?
God fuckin damit...............shut the fuck up im not a geek who sits my ass on the computer all day................plus ive never played wow god damit now im pissed shut the fuck up please
dragonfire, you sound like a little bitch. are you crying? you do sound very insecure and are probably telling your mother about "all those mean boys that make fun of you on youtube"..... what a bitch.
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.
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.
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.
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?

storm costs 1 dollar more to manufacture than its retail price
suaran01 3 years ago
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.

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

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.

wifi is faster, lol
finch250 3 years ago
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 3 years ago
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.
BigYellow9999 3 years ago
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?
