jkOnTheRun- Blackberry Storm overview

[itschelseabrahh]

omg, I fucking want this phone soo bad! everyone likes theirs right? for a daily use?

Gawd I love my Storm! I've had it for 3 weeks now and the more I use it, the more I like it. The click screen is the best part but the whole functionality of the phone is phenomenal. I've noticed most bad reviews of the Storm are because the review is old. When it first came out, it was running on an old OS. The new updates have made it near perfect now. Nice to have a phone where I actually use most of the features on it. Plus it's just a sexy looking device!

hey im thinking about getting one, will this one be up to date with all the updates? And one more; how will i know if more updates are available? Thanks for the answers

[outsider497]

Yes. It should be running on the .75 OS. There are higher ones but they are not official versions. There is supposed to be an apps store coming this month or next so there might be another update. I believe Verizon will send you a message telling you when the next update is and can be done over the air. If you get it, you may have it freeze once or twice during the 1st week or 2. A battery pull is all that's needed to reboot it. It takes time to get used to this phone so be patient.

OK thanks a lot man i appreciate the help.

will the app store be automaticly updated in your phone, or is it something u have to do or request yourself?

[outsider497]

I'm not sure when they're going to put out the next update. Supposedly there's not alot of difference between the .75 and .85. The speed is really good. Much better than the glitchy original .65. As for the app store, I'm not sure how it's going to work. I'm new to Blackberrys too. I'm assuming Verizon will send people a text of some kind to let them know about it. There are already some apps you can get for this phone that are fun and cool on websites.

Also there's a 30 day trial period for this phone so you can try it out and see if you like it. It does take some getting used to but once you get the hang of it, I think you'll like it. It took me about 3 days to get used to the typing. I hope this helps.

good review, u covered just about everything usefull. i really like the blackberry now

[mrdamnhefly]

I don't give a fuck what you say about the storm i love mine!!

the click button is great the iphone is a good phone, i had it before i turned into a man and needed a real phone like a blackberry. Once they put out OS .85 it's a wrap for the iphone

[juelz260]

when are they gonna put out the .85 OS? and how is the speed of the .75 OS? im really considering gettin this phone.. so i was just curious, i would appreciate any input you have on this matter

[eaststeed]

Now i love at+t and the iphone and i personally cant imagine anything better than the iphone except for the next version but i think the storm out of all the attempted iphone killers has to be a true competitor of the iphone

Seems like the second best touchscreen phone behind the iPhone. I don't like the sound of the whole have to press/click in order for keys to register. The vertical keyboard also seems bad, I hate the multiple letter keys. Worst thing about the phone... Verizon.

[thesteam20]

Really Verizon is the worst thing about the phone! At&t has no were near the network Verizon has! There 3g coverage is a joke and there signal strength is questionable!

[TheAgent06]

wait another few month and Verizon will come out another iphone clone ... Verizon is notrious for charging up the ass for every little things...
