BlackBerry Storm 2 Review - Full Review of the 9520

[rukhon786]

Erm i was thinking of getting this aa its within my 100£ budget is there any other blackberry anyone would recomwnd i get rather than the storm2

Is the bb bold 9000 any good?

[xxdmdeschamps72]

Amazing ah I don't think so. What a waste of two years with outdated software and useless apps, not to mention its slow as shit

[xxxMostEnviedGurlxxx]

This phone is Amazing.

I'm so addicted to it.

[andyxdx]

10:51~ BLEACH!! XD

nice review :D

[willchar6]

iphone 4.

[MrSwipes2]

there should be blackberry os 6 for the storm 2 :/

[ferrari5o9o]

Do you have to pay for the VZ navigator? I'm looking at getting one of these but I know that droids have a GPS, and what's the music interface like? If I get one of these I'd like it to replace my iPod, you missed a few important things lol no one cares about sims 3

[piensci150]

blackberry rocks

[MsRezafirdaus]

1 love this phone,,!!

[MsRezafirdaus]

[tr09n]

i like BlackBerry Storm 2 )))



[ScotchW10]

God, reviews are supposed to show you how the phone is to life with. Show how fast the interface is, how the BBM is, how the WiFi is, nobody cares about where the SIM card slot is (if they do care, they are nobodies).

[TheFlyWahine]

It honeslty looks cool.

[rokenrol17]

why got sound when u touch it?

it's like the screen doesn't solid

[xXDaRkVIXx]

how can you see videos on youtube?...

[kfourtakas]

BABYLON A.D.!!!!

[donypkesuma]

what you think if blackberry storm 2 9520 compared by android phone likes HTC Wildfire??? could u give some opinion about that??? i wanna buy smartphone next month... and the choice are blackberry storm 2 9520 and htc wildfire...i am so confused to buy the best between both of them...

[felixcb20]

Can anyone tell me if i can use the qwerty keyboard on BBM on the Blackberry storm2????????

[jonkinum]

@felixcb20 ya u can

[bjking007]

can anyone plz tell me if this Blackberyy has an CPU processor?? i mean on the review they didnt showed that fact..n how come the Storm1 has a procesorr and the Storm2 does not have one?!?!

[siaband]

@bjking007

first: CPU=Processor

second: CPU is built-in in all the smartphones

third: do a google search before u ask a stupid qeustion like that

[bjking007]

@siaband thats not a stupid question cuz on gsmarena..they didnt show that this device has an processor..

[M919TV]

@bjking007 if i didn't have a proccesor it wouldnt do anything

[gta4rulesass]

lol free speakerphone for 99 dollars these add's are retarted

[tongducviet]

look at the blackberry 9520 here

[vikas]

Ari Gold :D

[SOF006]

omg you clicked on bleach! :D

[meccajohnny]

can you turn off that clicking sound that you get when you press on the screen?

[theJAZOSH]

@meccajohnny no...'cos it is one of the touching function of this mobilephone...but the click attracts me more eh

[Makkerz]

ive had a lot of problems with the touch screen won this phone, sometimes when i press the screen it presses the hang up button no matter where i press. sometimes it double clicks when i only touch to scroll the screen (quite common and very annoying) and other times i just cannot press the screen down at all no matter how hard i press. i dont know whether to send it back, ive had it for 10 months and it did it pretty much from the start.

[theredrooter]

Great review mate.

cheap ass aussie sellers ship it with only a 2GB micro SD

[richie69gee]

this is the ultimmare phone for a bloke. touch screen that you dont have to be affraid you'll snap the phone in 2 when you press and qwerty keyboardsds that you dont need tiny womens fingers to hit the right letter when youre texting etc. ive had the blackberry storm for pretty much 18 month and im now getting the storm 2. best phone on the market if you dont sell out and get a iphone!

[Kyodaikuma]

evo 4g owns this phone by far even iphone 4 lol

[r4nd0m1z3d]

@Kyodaikuma Except in looks.

[pugNdrum]

@Kyodaikuma actually I looked on specs and this OWNS the Iphone 16g XD !!!!! BLACKBERRY FTW !

[mluvbmw]

Bleach FTW...lol

[1991london]

"Viiin Diesel" made me laugh. Good review as well.

[ovechkin0809]

does this come out for rogers

[BensonBarretto]

do u have to pay 50$ a month on contract OR can u just pay for voice and not data?

[Ricky103]

I don't understand why people like these phones. They don't seem to do anything well.

[anquank09]

terrible phone. the camera stayed the same. wtf blackberry

[evamillovici]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­z

[mowgli123456789]

dude your not following AJATT by any chance!?

[TheZakcaddy]

Your voice makes me want to sleep :D

[splintercellpandora]

PENIS!!!!!!

[Izzzzzzy01]

I like the way you say phone xD

[TheMT2010]

All i want to know is when you put the blackberry storm 2 on vibration . Does it have a very strong vibration

[FreckledFilms]

@TheMT2010 Yes, it's strong

[lildidi94]

Why DId Dey Keep on a 3.2 as all smart phones i saw 5 mp 8 mp even 12 mp(sonyEricsonSatio) SO its my opinion THey shud hav MAde THa Bold 5mp doe But still it has good quality man its great 2 but the 5mp look like a filmin Movie

[Gusohyeah111]

@lildidi94 dude the iphone 3g has 2 mp nd its really good quality.

[espchaos]

storm 2 is a sweet phone!! quit comparing this phone with others out there!! if you love blackberry phones like i do then you'll like this phone!! fuck web browsing get a real computer to search shit on(thats all droid is really better at doing than storm) the phone makes great calls and texting is easy! thats all ya fn need!!

[IcyStorm]

@espchaos Then why bother getting a smartphone? A smartphone is SUPPOSED to offer these kinds of features, and when competitors do it better, it makes one wonder why they should purchase this.

Android offers a ton of more apps and functionality than a BlackBerry; the only thing BB does better at this point is enterprise; something I doubt you use.

[loulimina]

you posted that video on my birthday !

[MrPotatoMan1000]

@loulimina thats my birthday too what thats sick =] 11/4/97

[commanderBoreale]

omg! I'm sorry to break your bubble here but i cant handle it anymore. What the fuck?! Everyone wants pinch zooming but there will never be such thing on ANY phone but the iphone because it would be a breach of copyright cause apple invented it! You stupid motherfuckers! If you find any other phone with it then you can say i'm stupid

[Nebsterification]

@commanderBoreale ur stupid. the moto droid has pinch to zoom along with any device running android 2.1

[yeomanrycavalry]

@commanderBoreale

Yeah, Apple's innovativeness hard at work! They fucking copied everything HTC did as they are the true innovators of gesture inputs on screens, not that lame fuck dolt called Steve Jobs. Apple goes out and sues everybody claiming it's their idea and it is not! Fuck socialism, fuck communism, fuck Apple!

[IcyStorm]

@yeomanrycavalry Yeah, but nothing HTC made (granted, because they use Android and Windows Mobile) has offered an ease-of-use experience equivalent to the iPhone's. At least, up until Sense started getting better.

[mvt2412]

@commanderBoreale The droid incredible has it....

[Ashkan10Messi]

@commanderBoreale Pinch to zoom is on most android phones.

[IcyStorm]

@commanderBoreale HTC HD2 has it... a lot of capacitive-display Android devices have it now (assuming they've been updated)...

[ryancapraniwarner]

can it be unlocked for t-mobile?

[Gusohyeah111]

@ryancapraniwarner there is a vodafone version nd it cn b used on tmobile nd at&t

[05xs03ykvz3858xo]

blackbarry storm is fucking bad!!! don't buy!!!

[dinsy66]

This video fuckin sucks holy shitt can even see the screen wow

[Cl0ock]

All these reviews seem all negative about the storm 2.. I've been waiting a few day's for my shipped bs2.. lmao bs.

Yea all these reviews make me regret ordering the phone.

[Northweeeezie]

@Cl0ock Write back what you think of it when you get it.

[Cl0ock]

@Northweeeezie I'll do that! once I get it :)

[n4reppah]

What film is that?

[luciantheman]

why would anyone buy a phone with a 3.2 megapixel camera in our days and age?

really... touchscreen isn't everything...

shitty phone by the way... that's my review!

[Shader789]

@luciantheman And what about iPhone's 2 megapixel, and no MMS ? :D

[luciantheman]

@Shader789 that sucks too... :))

[Narkodas]

@Shader789

Megapixels don't say shit.

[captashishtuteja]

Strom 2 is pretty expensive...but i think its worth the deal

[greginmd]

Can you please move the wirefly banner? It's almost in the middle of the screen. UGH. I'm a dermatologist. I can remove that mole on your hand for $500. You will never know it was there. Just let me know.

[DKSMProductions]

@greginmd Or for a blackberry storm 2...

[spupapi]

@greginmd

But I don't care. I didn't ask anything.

[MissFortissimo101]

@greginmd AHA

[mhans311]

that stupid wirefly strip is blocking the screen. Please put it at the bottom! You might as well put it in the middle of the screen.

[locamorena06]

its not supposed to be exciting idiots

[ilovemusictolife]

@locamorena06 exactly

[pebblesthemonkey]

looks a cool phone but MAN!! is he boring !!

[ladiesman9061]

thanks i am looking at getting one tomorrow and this really helped me get a hint of what it does...

[rubenpotter777]

This is an AWESOME PHONE!! been using it for some time now, storm2's alot better than the prev version and i love it!!

[nashstruck]

@rubenpotter777 what's the battery life like?

[yuritim]

1) Lose the hard "a" sound you pronounce when stating something like "this is 'a' great feature'... Pronounce it with a soft "a", avoid the Forrest Gump factor.

2) Lose the southern accent, as successful voice over actors and speakers have.

Saying "phone" with a British sounding "own" is not professional. The pros speak from the South were coached in school out of it for their own good.

3) Replace "cool" with other intelligent words that aren't so copy-cat-trendy. Its not cool to say cool.

[BFG43]

@SR2GTABEAST hahahahahahahhaha dude tht made me laugh so hard hahaha

[tehlyndz]

can you turn off the clickback sound? Im thinking that may getting annoying after a while.

[sultandaoud]

blackberry storm 2 or iphone 3gs ?

[cliowiliams2]

@sultandaoud

If You using BIS or BES, take BB, if You like a fansy multimedia phone, take 3GS,

BB is more business phone

[sultandaoud]

thank you, i'm a basic user so i think i will go with the 3GS

[Ziber100]

@sultandaoud blackberry storm 2!!!!!!

[misfitdoll23]

@ sultaoud

It really just depends on your preferences, really.

I am wanting the Storm 2.

I own an iPod Touch and it's nice but I really hate the typing on it.

[MrHi435]

should i get this or the samsung omnia 2 or the lg env touch??????????

[hsilencer]

I'm still in love with Storm 1 (especially with the latest firmware :P) , but would like to go out with Storm 2 later. Haven't try it yet. But sound great here. Thanks

[DRJtheone]

do u have to have internet to use this phone

[MoonLightCoCo]

whats the point in buying a smart phone if your not going to use the internet? if your getting one for texting and calling your wasting your money big time

[GiGGLES4U89]

@DRJtheone yes y0u do.

[Adz1184]

@DRJtheone Yes, the handset must be connected to a GPRS or 3G service. Blackberries push your email directly to the handset rather than have it wait at an inbox for you to collect it. It does this by downloading the mail directly to your handset.

[SR2GTABEAST]

@rishab155 did you know I don't give a fuck?

[thisxdamnxgood]

the original storm DID have multi touch. I'm not sure if it worked with the capitalize example you said, but it definitely had it - although in limited capacity.

[quikfingrs19]

It really helps to lower the phone's screen brightness during a review so images can be seen well.

[XTN94]

would u have to unlock the fone to use it llike on AT&T or could u just slip in the sim card and it would work

[stridenerd123]

@XTN94 You would have to unlock it.

[s2j00b5]

hi, i'm trying to dicide between the storm 2 and the new iphone 3gs. what is your preferance???

[Ziber100]

storm 2 is better

[lcplhart]

the 9550 is made buy verizon..

the 9520 is the one Vodafone has...

Hope it helps

[tinseltownchick]

can i chose when does the keyboard display?? can i just surf the net without it and then when i need to type something just press some button and pull it out??

[soldierx40k]

yes you can. just swipe down on the keyboard

[Kap11989]

do u have to pay for the internet or is it like a laptop where u can walk into McDonalds and browse the web?

[Laucheehung]

if there's a wifi connection available then yea- you can just walk into mcdonalds and browse the web

[Kap11989]

Thanks for the reply, verizon told me i would have to pay extra for the internet. I am switching to them in 3 days and plan on getting this phone.

[lcplhart]

using the Wifi -

it depends on the connection.. if you can find a unsecured network to join then yh its free... If you know the code for a secured network even, it's free.. unless the networks yours and your paying for it..

[calebwheeler]

you do have to pay for internet.  all smartphones require a $29 data plan.

[zackam1306]

cheaper than iphone data plan

[calebwheeler]

i think the iphone data plan is $30, or at least it used to be. they could have gone up though, i've heard att plans to increase data fees to reduce traffic on their network. good way to drive off customers if you ask me, when all they really need to do is build a better network.

[zackam1306]

yeah i use to have the iphone for at&t and i had to pay 60 a month for just one phone i think it was that either that or 30

so more happier with verizon

[rishab155]

did you know we have a good data plan in india

for the iphone by airtel which gives you 500mb free download per month for 1 year no monthly

no annual fees!

[siegeshot2]

@mrcapcom That was Babylon A.D. I liked it, and it was a good sci-fi, but not a kids movie... So read the reviews first.

Great review on the Storm 2. I'm actually impressed. Too bad the recording is all freaked out with the white, but I got the gist. Good little review Ari!

[todwcampbell]

Good Review. You may know thisor maybee not, one can capitolize by simply holding down the key for a second longer on the letter you want capitolized.

[mrcapcom]

lol nice review what movie is that ?
