RIM BlackBerry Storm Review

[SuperMyNameIsCharlie]

i have this phone and it isn't too good i prefer the storm 2 :3

[LinkinparkCrazy999]

its STORM not BOLD u dumbfuck

[disneyvillains9533]

listen bro this phone isn't my fav in the world but you really need to shut up first of all it's not hte bold second the phone isn't that bad and at least blackberry was trying something new and third go die thumbs up if you want this dumbass to get fired and live on the streets oh wait you probably already do so die you shitbrain

[disneyvillains9533]

however you suck in reviews and at life i hope you die

[jacubio]

thats pretty sad that youre fingers get tired from pushing on the screen of the phone..

[MorganKFleming]

Out of all the people at PhoneArena, this guy is the WORST.. He is clearly reading everything he is saying, which is obvious because he has severe difficulty doing so, and he doesn't seem to know what he is talking about. I love PhoneArena's reviews but I can't even watch a whole video by this guy

[rockinbam]

it sounds like ur reading from a script

[craigmcb]

Why did you keep calling it a Bold you douchebag?

[MsTiff1986]

he's sort of boring to listen to...too bad too cause he might've had something truthful to say

[sammie12349]

they need to get a new review of this with out this guy all he does is bash it

[sean1256]

I'm sorry, but the storm REALLY does suck and I wish all of you people that bought one would just admit it.  Getting ripped off does suck though and can keep people in denial for a long time.

[MultiKdizzle]

POS doesnt even have wifi, what a joke. its all about smasung, lg, and apple!

[MightyMatt92]

he's got himself some massive hands...Im thinking that the reason his thumbs get tired is because he's a whale

[mrdesi]

Thumbs get tired!! Bwahahaha! I hope he got fired. What a douchebag...

[NICHOLAS17301]

you dont know what hes is talkin about it dose not hurt your thumbs

[sburns220]

This was a horible review, you were way to much of a fanboy. I've used both an iPhone and a storm, there is no tiredness of my thumbs, maybe you need to excercise or something wimp.

[karim4894]

dude, this wasnt a review this was a dissing, i got it, i luv it, and i dun have half the problems u have :) prolly just ur poor usage of it

thanks for trying though :)

[sean1256]

hahaha. denial is a funny thing. how's those updates you get daily? you know... the ones that get sent out and you can't use your phone until they are finished? that is inexcusable.

[SaM2194]

the phone isn't that heavy and it doesn't hurt your thumbs - this guy is just an idiot. and stop calling it the bold!

[rockbga]

where's the guy that usually does the reviews? this guy sucks. His voice kept fumbling, I couldn't even finish watching the video, and PhoneArena is SUCH a reliable source. Please remake this video

[mtat77]

ok first of all this is .65 OS

there have been TWO updates

.75 which was good

and then .148 which is amazing! get this phone!

[myantipasto]

wow "thumbs get tired"

then how bout phones with actual buttons? fail.

[coolkidzdontplay88]

dude you need to realize that they have the update os that fixes everything!! if i were you id slit my wrist!

[ozarck33]

This guy is obviously an apple employee in disguise, no question, so go take a long walk off a short plank

[mtat77]

lol your thumbs get fatugued whata nerd

[Justinge3IsMyIdol]

What a fucking retard. Stop stuttering. This phone is AMAZING. I've had it for a couple months and I love it. I've had over 5 phones. This is my favorite. It's not tiring to type unless you weigh 500+ pounds. Kys.

[mtat77]

lol i know im tired of these iphone fanboys

[CrzVids]

storm = shit, the iphone isn't touch screen because it's cool its that way because it works unlike the blackberry which is horrible for typing believe me I have a blackberry storm im not saying this because it is only my opinion its the opinion of many people

[PivotMasterReq]

I think that the typing is actually really good.

[pschoe2k8]

Wait i was thinking about getting the phone this week is it worth it? should i get the omnia instead?

[mtat77]

are you going to be on the go or staionary more... and would you find it anoyying if you had to use a pen? answer my q's then ill repsond

[pschoe2k8]

pen would be a hassle and it would definetlly be for the go

[mtat77]

then go for the storm =P i have it and love it

[pschoe2k8]

haha alright thanks for the input

[eznickzig]

it is called the "storm" not the "bold" dumbass

[mtat77]

ya wata nerd lol

[TheMula]

"quite frankly, WE despise"

Pardon my misspelling

Why do they include the world?!?!

There are actually a lot of people that actually think that the clik-screen is much better than just "touch"...

I love the CLICK-SCREEN!!!

[RKChrome]

You honestly have no idea what your talking about, like seriously how do you get tired of moving your thumbs?

[hellsingorg2]

wait... so let me get this strait. is he really bitching about a phone that is an extension to help human beings communicate with other human beings... i have the phone and when it starts acting like a cunt, i simply just turn it off and on the way i would a computer and it works like a fucking charm. no lag no screen switching and stupid crap hes complaining about

[rockbga]

Wow! Strong words, dude

But it's just a review. They do it for all the new

phones.

[Section7G4]

Very good video review. Wish I saw this first before I got the storm. One strong Advice..... Stay away from phone. I have used blackberry since the 58xx came out and have owned 6 models since then. This was a good idea/theory for a phone but when put in action it went in so many ways. Phone has bad lag going to screen-screen and apps to apps. Texting was very trying because of all the pressing down and holding the heavy phone.

[Section7G4]

....Battery life only last less than 1 day of use with light call and text use. I returned the phone after less than 4 days of use. My brother ordered the phone and it has been less than a week and a half the screen is now stuck and does not respond. A positive side the screen crisp and clear while playing video and call quality was great. Thats pretty much it for the positive side. Sigh I sold my Curve to pay for the storm. Now Im using my brother old 2g Iphone.. sigh sigh

[1greenclovers1]

Ok, long video but some new info. Nice! He played Scrubs, lol.

[VansAddict50]

The Bold...? Uhm, try Storm... duh.

[alexdouse2]

Very nicely done, I saw it at bestbuy and verizon store and wasnt impressed,Im an iphone user, you have a great voice you should try podcasting or voice overs on movies or audiobooks documentry movies voice overs too youll be famous lol.

[Mets5157]

the commercial is false advertising. when i finally saw the phone in person i was very disapointed

[scottmilkeway2]

does anyone have a clue where i can get that background its AWESOME

[DementedProductions1]

Here's how to do it: Go to "Media" select "Photos" and then "Sample Photos". You will find it and many other cool photos in there. Hope this helps.

[caniac01]

This guys a tard. If he's reading off something, I've seen better scripts by 3rd graders... and if he's not.. well, he just sucks at life.

[abomb12345]

Did anyone else notice that this guy might be dislexic and he calls it a bold at 3:32

[Hvnlydemon]

yea lmao

[jesussayago]

It's so funny how he says we so much. He coughed and said "excuse us" instead of "excuse me". It's not like the whole PhoneArena team coughed at the same time.

[sherkynasim]

this guys sux with reviews, if hes reading off something then he cant read, and hes just a retard

[enalls]

He contradicts himself. First he's like we dont like the clicking screen and how the screen moves and thats its too heavy but its well constructed.

[ampdmen]

yea i have it and your only finding reasons to hate it.

[DiabolicAndHungry]

this phone sucks pretty bad and is over rated

[BigAussieBloke69]

That fone is deffantly not going on the Telstra NEXT G network. It wouldnt keep up with 4.0G. Telsrta was the first network in the world 2 put up that knid of network, it covers about 98 point something % of Australia. And Telstra are the only network in Australia that actually bother 2 check and test their fonez before they go on the network. Coz VODAFONE just put that shit on their network.

KILLA VID PHONE ARENA U HAVE DONE IT AGAIN. ;)

PS. 3network is SHIT. HAHAHA

[xSnIpErMaStAx]

Its not a Blackberry Bold u idiot its a fucking Blackberry Storm

[rhn75]

I don't think pressing the screen takes more effort than presing a physical key. You have bigger issues if you're tired...

Poor review

[underlilthings]

Fatass >_>

[kirbz2]

The touchscreen wouldn't be so tiring if your fat fingers weren't so heavy (potheadman)

hear hear.

[JstreetzProducer]

[00:55] What? Before the BBStorm and iPhone touchscreen phones weren't even mainstream. All mobile keyboards are hard. It shouldn't be that hard to get used to if you're not lazy.

[HUMM3R93]

Why would you need a track ball...? Moron...it's a touch phone for christ's sake! Also, this isn't even a review...you're so biast!

[PotHeadMan]

The touchscreen wouldn't be so tiring if your fat fingers weren't so heavy

[CDizzie]

I Understand It's No iPhone, But I've Seen And Reviewed It, If Anthing, It Is Second To The iPhone, And The Click Screen, It May Get Annoying, But Come On, You Must Be Out Of Shape To Get Tired From Clicking

[Tric3dicekidd]

its called the storm not the bold and 5-10 seconds is nothing to complain about. Fatigue, how is clicking 2 twice for each letter tiring. Let me guess you can't type for a few minutes without getting tired, right.

[YOUNGWAYN3JR]

ok its a CELL PHONE that has INTERNET and you can TURN IT and it will turn jeez wth be happy with wat u have

[kcusano10]

did anyone else notice that he calls it the bold more then he calls it the storm?

its a blackberry STORM.

[thedarkdomino]

I will say it once and for all...

TOUCHSCREEN KEYBOARDS = FAIL

[SAFENAFE1985]

whats the difference between the 9500 and the 9530... please reply

[wingmangt]

9500 - GSM

9539 - CDMA

[hbannister]

Wow! It is amazing to me how many people seem to dislike the touchscreen. I LOVE it! I have used Windows Mobile now for more than 4 years and I am so pleasantly surprised by the Storm. I spent 90 mins at a Verizon store using all functions, and I found it to be VERY friendly. Thumbing the qwerty keyboard and was as fast as my Samsung i760 slide out keyboard. The touch screen is the deal maker for me! Apps are excellent. Youtube works great. Setup is a breeze. Buying for my wife and I asap.

[davidcoady87]

Not been a hater here but OH MY FUCKING GOD this review pissed me off so much. First off stop compairing it to the Iphone. At first I wanted one now I couldn't care less I have the ipod touch and thats good enough for me. two your voice is kinda boring it sounds like you are reading from a script . I find that your problems are winy and bitchy. like ooo I have to wait 5 to 10seconds to even a min wow big whoop

[davidcoady87]

I also for got to say about the iphone. I am not bashing apple I am a fan just think that there are better phones then the iphone and have been more touch screen phone then the iphone.

[TsarNick77]

is there any relation between the guy's fat hands and his thumb fatigue?

[Flyingthoughts]

I don't get how typing messages with the press touch screen is different/more tiring then using an actual keypad? I get how it could be different than a normal touchscreen, but compared to say the bold is it really that different?

[krtcop]

he always says "us" and "we" like there's two of him

[mataio666]

This guy is a complete moron. He needs to be fired. Perhaps do video reviews of the shit u find in porta-potty's.

[jessilo1992]

poor review.

only talked about "bad things" in their view, nothing good.

if the man can't even figure out what the phone is called how can he tell anyone how good a phone is?

waste of my time.

[rmeyers17]

i like how fat his hand is and how he continuously talks about how tiring the phone is

[specialslovesml]

you all have really bad points.

dont know how hard to press?

how do you not know after one time pressing it?

[xbds3]

why is everybody hatin on the bb storm i see it on every video anywayz my dad has it an its okay i just like the clickin an im tradin my lg dare for it anywayz bb storm all the way just think its diffrent from all phones

[giztopher17]

This is the worst review. I can't believe i even watched it..

[MackMan37]

One of the worst reviews ever. First of all he didn't focus on any of the positive, only the negative. He also called it the bold more then he called it the storm. He also mentioned the iphone about 20 times. Is this the review of the Iphone or the storm? I have seen a less bias review at macworld. Oh and just a side note, how can you say pushing the screen down is tiring? Its no more tiring than if you were typing on a physical keyboard.

[luser818]

@MackMan37 phonearena needs to get better reviewers. i like their website and has the info. just not the RIGHT PERSON to review it on a video

[grybold]

Good review. I demoed two at two different Verizon stores, and I pretty much saw the same flaws and glitches.

[cubswin55555]

blackberry storm is not a convinient storm to use becuase of the screen being pushed. I used it and u cant tell if u click or dont because of lagg. and its just hard to no how hard u have to push

[LakaiFullyFilmed]

iphone

[vdiesel75]

the curve is certainly better than the storm? are you an idiot? the curve physical keyboard is better (it's also better the any touchscreen keyboard, even iPhone). the curve is also more stable also (I agree the Storm needs an OS update). BUT... it's "certainly" not better than the storm overall.

[m00ndog1239]

You must be really fat to get tired of touching and clicking a phone..

And the click actually pin points where your going to hit

Unlike the Iphone you just hit random shit

Get your reviews your right moron

[xnahelio1]

u guys complain about the littlest things

[akantonio808]

I know right!

Such whiners.

[nospocnephets]

wow an ounce!!

[thesteam20]

Dude you can't even call this a review you just hate on it the whole time! WTF You suck ass at your job you should be fired!

[rogerrr777]

This is guy is completely right. This phone is horrible. It lags every second and the virtual keyboard is extremely difficult to type on and you make many mistakes.

This is phone is a waste.

[mynosehurt]

you said bold instead of storm

[wvinas]

You're on crack!! The Storm works as a tethered modem, can copy and paste, has a 3.2 MP camera w/ flash and video, expandable memory, removable battery, clickable touch screen, better multitasking than any other touchscreen phone, push email,typing in landscape mode...need i go on?

All touchscreens are slow w/ typing!! I had more problems typing w/ the Apple IPhone. It's worth it for touchscreen technology.

[Mp5Speed]

tht personal preference....copy paste...thats not important.....3.2 MP camera great...but isnt there about 5 others that have tht or better?....multitasking...i personally believe it doesnt...what do u mean push email?...and about every touchscreen phone except for the Iphone has a landscape mode....so yeah i think you do need to go on..

[wvinas]

I need to go on? What the hell does that mean? Actually , I copy and paste all the time. You need to know english first, then learn how to type then copy and paste...You ghetto motherflower!!

[Mp5Speed]

One i use a blackberry bold...how am i ghetto?.....and just because YOU copy and paste doesnt mean its important...copy and paste doesnt make or break a phone.

I know english just fine, i know how to type if i didnt then how am i responding? Ctrl-C Ctrl-V...happy?

[wvinas]

Ebonics speaking.....You probably use a pager still!! LOL

[1234567890okm0]

this phone looks awesome
