  • I'm speaking from experience. I had this phone and I went over to Europe when I had it. I got service everywhere which was cool but to be honest I would suggest an android phone or Iphone over this. The "cool screen" he's talking about how it actually presses in and yeah it's cool and feels weird but it is easily broken. I broke two of these phones and got an android after. If you're not strictly a business person then there are much better phones out there.

  • iPhone Is The Best , Agree Or Die

  • dude,it's a cellphone ,A.K.A. a smartphone,it has alot off features

  • i think the whole magic of the BlackBerry is that it has a full keyboard.....i think its the first one to have a full keyboard......now look what they did.....they just made a common touch phone.....THERE ARE A LOT OF TOUCH PHONES IN THE WORLD!!! so what would you buy.....a BBStorm.....or an iPhone 3Gs??

  • does the blackberry storm come with the 5.0 update now?

  • *sigh* I too had a love at first sight with Blackberry Storm

  • The Blackberry Storm is the worst piece of shit ever.

    Anyone who disagrees has not had to endure the retarded phone that it is.

    The touch screen doesn't work properly, the phone is far too slow. Everything takes far too long, infact the only good thing I can say about it is that I really enjoyed smashing mine into tiny pieces!

  • Yeah I heard many bad reports on the storm. want to get a blackberry but couldn't decide on which model. Wanted a touch screen so storm looked good. Didn't want an iphone. Reviews are sating the new bold is better. Thanks for your own 'review'. Now I'm pretty sure I'll get a bold, or do you think all blackberrys are shit?

  • google nexus one is the best phone

  • you do know your supposed to press the screen until it clicks? and it depends were you get it . if you got it from verizon then its obviously going to suck :]

  • fail! bold 9700 10X better

  • @OoUriA22oO FAIL! Iphone3GS is better

  • wow terrible.. u shouldnt comment anymore... lik just delete ur youtube account....

  • how i can buy phone like this ???

    from the website ??

  • I love this phone, but i have T-mobile

  • 2 Free Blackberry Bolds!

    doiopDOTcom/2freeBlackberrys

    Get em while you still can!

  • wow great

  • nice toy XD

  • the Storm is not nearly the best Blackberry ever. It was a failure. The Curve worked soooo much better. The Bold is also 10x better.

  • @Mutterjunge yuh dude, bold is really really cool, you can just type on bold as good as ur computer, i submit an essay from whisler skiing resort while it was due in 3 hours after, and my university recieved it by no delay. and i passed, it's an icrdiable piece of machine.

  • where we go next?

  • i LOVE my n97

  • same ^^

  • If the iphone was available to Verizon then I'd probably have gotten that in the first place, but it's not and i care more about the network that it's on than a few extra features

  • my storm comes tomorrow so ive been researching them often, and i can't help but notice how many people are always saying something about iphones how they are better and don't waste time with a storm, if you don't like it then why do you watch the video? go watch an iphone video.

  • @TheMacintoshCritic

    iPhones are a waste of space for trendy shitheads.

  • @TheMacintoshCritic how do u fidn the storm a year later

  • @TheMacintoshCritic it's actually as goodas the iphone, but it's a bit more reliable

  • apple sucks balls

  • they used to be not as good as they say but have really come back. they USED to suck balls hahaha

  • then why are you watching this video?

  • iphone guys know how to manipulate consumers.....by giving them little by little (filming , copy&paste)  xD i bet the next iphone will have a simple 5mpx camera and the same design

  • Doesn't have wi-fi. terrible. :(

  • Lol why this phone?? Buy an iphone 3gs instead!! :S

  • update the os to .148 and the storm is alot better. WAY BETTER!!!!

  • it gay

  • ew no if you want a blackberry buy the bold

  • im guessing you didnt know how to use it

  • you suck iphone stank

  • can it go on pay as you go ??

  • yeah, but u have to pay full price on it

  • Shorts are hitting this stock hard, should you be shorting it too?

    Sirius XM Radio Inc. symbol SIRI is trading at 0.31 this stock is going down. It could be a good idea to shot this stock. Because it will NEVER, NEVER go up again.

  • How much is it because i don't want to set up a paypal. I wish you get just get it added on to your bill.

  • does it also have speakerphone

  • yes a SUPER POWERFUL ONE

  • Storm users see

    w w w. Storm-BlackBerry. com

  • i would get it, but i hate the mandatory $30 for internet. and it doesnt even have MSN/yahoo messenger!

  • bull shit yes it does.

  • It has MSN, Yahoo, AOL, G-Mail, and Blackberry Messenger pre-installed on the phone.

  • its not

  • is this phone available in asia? cause i'm planning to get one but i'm living in asia. is it still worth it? oh, and how about the blackberry messenger?

  • my bro has this phone and going to give it to me on my bday

  • i have a question! ill wotk for a company that has unlimited internet connection! so that means i dont need the wifi another thing is is it true that the batterry doesnt last long?

  • yea it would work there is no WiFi on it so you have to use the network, as for the battery it is fairly good depends how you use it

  • I WANT THIS. WHO WANTS TO TRADE MY LG VIEWTY? (lol) :(

  • right.. i have the storm and i have to say its incredible. i have to admit the first two days i owned the phone i thought it was a piece of shit haha but.. now i can text quicker than a normal phone! ive corrected the 'lagging' that was an issue! its quicker than the IPhone! my friend sold his IPhone after having a shot with mine! if anyone needs to ask questions from an actual owner of the phone feel free! laterz.

  • is it really worth it?

  • the touch screen is dodgey, it doesnt have wifi. you'd be better with a bold.

  • How did you solve the lagging problem? 'cos mines still lagging and it's getting a bit annoying.

  • Did you get the new update?

  • iphone owns

  • cant wait to get mine!

  • is the screen tight, like hard, or is it like a screen you would use a stylus on

  • Comment removed

  • cant wait till july omg go to hell apple im a storm is brewin lol

  • do you HAVE to get a data plan with this phone or can you just sign up for another 2 yr plan?

  • if you go on the verizonwireless website, it says that you can get a 2 year contract with the blackberry storm

  • i got a few questions: on the storm, do u have to push hard on the screen to push it down, or is it like u tap it and it goes down? another question is, can u text to other phones fast? and last, can u watch vids on youtube without major lag on the storm? plz reply, THANKS (deciding between iphone and this)

  • skifosi voglio la presentazione in italiano

  • I bought this phone today. I am taking the piece of shit back tomorrow.

    This is the first time i have EVER taken a phone back

  • why?

  • People say this phone sucks, I beg to differ, I did fall in love at first touch when I was in California. I own one today. Love it! You also get a usb cord to connect from your computer to the phone itself. It is very helpful for loading MUSIC, PHOTOS and MORE! There is only one theme for the BlackBerry Storm. But if you search hard enough, you can find more themes. Great phone to have, the browser is amazing, tap the screen and it zooms in! Fantastic! Great video you made, shows how good it is!

  • Oh and when you take a picture the picture quality is OUTSTANDING! Flash or not. Worth buying the phone!

    [You also get to switch out the outlets for when you travel as you kind of commented on. Fantastic!] =D

  • Getting Mines Tomorrow

  • the storm is amazing and people that say storm sucks never played with the storm to even try it . storm can do everything iphone can do but better only thing they can say is no wifi but mine has wifi ;) its not hard to get it

  • How did you get Wi-Fi?

  • WHAT IS WIFI..???

  • i think that it is this network thing that allows you to get internet wherever you arefree of charge. also it's meant to be really fast.

  • dude wireless internet... just like a computer

  • CANT

  • I love my blackberry storm to

  • Cant wait getting it for my birthday an i went to Verizon yesterday an tested the storm an it wasnt slow at all.

  • Blows, Iphone is so much better, if you want to argue that it isn't? Let's argue

  • it isnt

  • i have this phone and its awsome!!!

  • is it possible to turn the sound the screen makes wen u click it off or no?

  • Isn't that sound like a sound of clicking not a sound coming from the phone itself?

    That's like asking if you can turn off the sound your keyboard makes when you type.

    Correct me if im wrong.

  • Mine isn't slow at all. In fact it's very quick. Some people with the Storm may not have the latest OS upgrade. The ones in the store are so played with and people open the apps and don't close them so it may freeze it. Love the clickscreen. Beats vibrations or sound effects. Beautiful screen too.

  • my friend has it and its very slow he hates it

  • but ur friend sucked my dick and he loved it bitch

  • I beg to differ...I have the pink blackberry, under verizon, and I like this so much better than the storm. When I tried the storm in the vzw store, it was soo heavy and I did not like that it was a touch screen that you have to "click" in. I felt like the phone was just a huge mousepad, everytime you press something you have to click it. Also, it moves super slow and both of the display phones were freezing. Overall, I hated it.

  • Soooooo awesome

  • DO you have to purchase the internet

    to receive normals texts and picture texts? if i dont get the voice mail feature can i still check my messages like on a normal phone? thx.

  • its deffinetly better then iphone

  • i prefer my blackberry 9000

  • actually this phone's screen is horrible because a big button so if you type fast the phone is going to have trouble recognizing the letter and not mark that letter, had one and took it back and got the new OMNIA and is much better

  • ur dumb u know why they made the screen that way? so u wouldn't select something accidentally

    while scrolling up, down or sideways dumb ass

    now u get it? they didnt do this to be cool or make the phone fancy.

  • just got my blackberry. now ive had touch screens in the past but their nothing like this one, the screen is a button, when u press it, it clicks, its very strange but i like it. thats also the case for typing, the screen moves in with the touch of a button. the whole layout is very stylish and something u will want to brag about. and one thing i have to argue, theirs no lagging. i thought their would be but there simply isnt, plus if u were wondering the GPS (satalite navigation) is awsome.

  • sorry, me again. So does the Storm add up to your expectations? Can you maybe tell us a little more on what your favorite points and less favorite points are of the phone? thnx bro.

  • I must say its very competitive with the Iphone, however i added up the pro's and cons. the Iphone responds alot quicker, it will load applications faster and is more sensitive to your touch. the Storm lacks this alot of the time, if not at first it will once you add a few apps such as windows live messenger. Anyway the Storm itself, very good as a business phone and an everyday phone aswell, the menus it gives you are exceptional compared to the Iphone.

  • Pt 2 - The music screen on the phone is really simple to use, so if you plan on adding music to the phone, you will be very comfortable with the way the Storm handles it. The GPS, surprisingly very good. no problems at all, gives you speed of your car, time of route and in case you were wondering it does actually tell you where to go, not just show you. The Messaging is not like any other phone, their is no inbox, nor sent box, it is just one list. if you open a message from a person it gives

  • pt 3 - you the entire message history which is very very useful. The E-mail is very well put together aswell, simple and easy to use, it separates the messages by date just like the SMS screen. Now the unique part of the Storm is its press screen, strange at first but it grows on you. and something not many reveiws tells you is that once you place the storm in its case, it automatically goes into a rest mode, saving battery. once lifted out, it sences the loss of pressure and resumes (smart)

  • pt 4 - (problems) ok, here we go. its not as many as you thing, the lagging (time it takes to respond) is sometimes annoying, however its only a maximum of 3 seconds. the bluetooth can be fussy aswell, you have to pair with a phone before the sending potion is allowed. that can take time. and my biggest problem with the Storm, the battery, they say its very good, however this only applys if your using it just as a phone, if u listen to music that drains the life out of it, not very good at all

  • I personally love the Storm. It did take a bit to get use to, but it's well worth it after you sit down with it a bit. The main reason why I got it over the iPhone is that AT&T's service out here is atrocious and expandable memory is always nice.

  • Im black and dis be onez cool shiznit!

    Shawdy

  • i was thinking the same thing

  • the iphone is universal with apple stuff. that is something that blackberries can never be.

    the apps store rocks!

  • meh. sory iphone just looks better. with the iphone its fast to type, the menu is one basic one which is clean and simple. it doesn't even feel like a phone until you get a call... but the storm is just a blackberry but with a touchscreen... i think i will stick with iphone.

  • i agree. why do you have to click something twice to open it? and the point of a touch screen is so that you can touch it and thats it, not touch it, then touch it again, except just harder.

    haven't actually tried the storm yet, but maybe it'll be on display somewhere soon and i can play around with it.

    until then, the iphone in my opinion, is better.

  • biased review

  • i think clicking the screen kinda defeats the purpose :/

  • people are always switching over to us to get the bold because the storm is so bad

  • this phone rocks! I've had it since it came out, and I LOVE IT! I'm going to Thailand and i'll be able to use it over there for a very cheap price! Definitely recommended

  • This is the first positive review I've seen about the Storm !!!

    still can't decide Iphone or storm only 4 days left for me !!!

  • I would say iphone. I didnt like this phone at ALL!

  • I was thinking the same thing

    But I'm kept my old phone and got the Ipod touch instead

    and I'm Real happy with it

    the App store is simply Amazing {some 10,000+ apps}

    The 8 Gb Ipod Touch is a steal... for the functionality it offers

    Also it seems to be selling like crazy !

    It was out of stock almost everywhere !

  • just ordered one of these... not sure what to expect because everyone says something diffrent. honestly mixed responses, guess anyone who's thinking about getting one, see if know anyone who has one or try it in a shop before ordering one, just to be sure. personally i think its awsome!

  • let me know if you would about the bugs. I've read and heard that it's kinda slow and that th software has a lot of bugs.. but I'ld like to hear it from someone personal.. cheers

  • The latest version .75 is a huge improvement but it's still slow and awfully buggy. The touchscreen isn't the most responsive. During calls the screen doesn't shut off and if you press it against your face can hit one of the options such as the mute (done this a few times now). Answering a call the interface takes a few seconds to respond and display call options, etc. When (and if) Rim fix the software it'll likely be a good phone but as it stands it's difficult to recommend.

  • thanks man, I appreciate the honesty. How about the syncing and the apps? Obviously it's not like apple's app-store, cause blackberry isn't really focused on consumers, but are you pleased with the applications on you bb?

  • I have my contacts and calendar setup to sync (from my mac) to Google and then use Google Sync (a BB app) to sync them over the air to the storm. The apps are disappointing at this point, basically IM clients & verizon trash - no AppStore by any measure. 3rd party support is weak as of yet. I'd give it time to mature first before delving in. My brother and I have Storms and are frustrated to the point of possibly switching providers for an iphone/g1 if updates dont come soon.

  • yea no worries will do. its been dispatched today, so i should have it by tomorrow. il keep in touch.

  • thanks man!

  • I have centenniel so what do I DO

  • I ordered a storm on Friday. I'm SO EXCITED and I can't wait for it to come in!!

  • looks laggy

  • That steals a lot of apples shit...

    I think the iPhone still might be better, but i'll check this out.

  • i bought the storm the day it came out, and i've been in love ever since! it not only IS a great phone, but it's an attention getter and conversation starter. the perfect accessory. and another reason to love it? it's a blackberry. at the core of this remarkable little wonder is the same reliability blackberry has always offered. i love it.

  • fuck dis google g1 all day
