This is not a smart phone ...it's a fucking dumbphone! there so many issues with this phone! the corner edges dnt work! at many the screen goes black .... u have to fucking restart it after every 2 hours! u cant b dependent on this phone!

  • @e1hamz its a blackberry, so yes it has bbm, not to sure about wifi tho

  • whats up with the gay pichures?

  • Man this is A great Phone

  • WANT A BLCKBERRY STORM?

    SEARCH THIS ITEM NUMBER ON EBAY 260682171319

  • Blackberry Storm 9500

  • Thanks very much for the review. I have been researching the 'Storm,' for a few days and decided to buy one. I pick it up tomorrow, and your demonstration of the functions are clear and precise. Thanks heaps from BBerry 1st timer in New Zealand.

  • i wonder if the Storms will be able to get the upgrade to BlackBerry OS version 6.

  • update to 5.0 os it makes this phone COMPLEATLY different so much better worthy of the blackberry name!

  • @HalfLight468 OS 5 for my storm is just great. I love it

  • @HalfLight468 how do you upgrdade to 5.0 os and what is it lol im nt gd at this kinda stuff :p

  • the demonstration is clear and crisp. it gives everything you would want to know so much so that you'll no longer need the manual the moment you hold the phone. the demo saved me time and effort. i no longer need to go out and shop for phone. the blackberry storm is the phone for me.... thank you MOBILEBURN!

  • what video formats can you read with blackberry storm ?

  • nice review! no one else goes through all the features. Going to ditch ATT (and my Bold with it) because of their crappy coverage. I think the Storm is for me.

  • would system version 5 be any better?

  • BB 9500 and BB 9530,i want to know what is the different?

  • Blackberry 9530 has wifi

  • does it, but I thought he said it didn't have wifi when he did the browser demo

  • @BlankSkateTeam08 is wifi da same as WLAN?? dont think so 9530 has either of them...dats wat storm 2 has!!

  • wath is yOu price?

  • My father-in-law's going to give me one of these.

    good job on the review ol' chap. Very professionally presented.

  • 3.2 megapixel is pretty lame for technology like this.

  • do you have to install the update yourself and does verizon charge you extra just becausei its a blackberry???

  • to download applications like facebook does it cost any extra cash> please respond QUICKLY!!. I would really appreciate it!

  • no, it's free.

  • thank youu

  • the best storm review i've seen, and i've suffered through a lot:/

    great showcase of the phone

  • hey how do u get music on there and does it cost money

  • im sure it depends on where you get the music. If you already have it on your computeyr you can probably put it on your phone.

  • yeah, this was a great review! i'm upgrading to one next week!!

  • i think theres a storm two coming out so might wanna look into that first

  • This is a GREAT Review!!!!!5 Stars

  • I brought a blackberry storm recently and I love it!

  • yea i think the blackberry storm is perfect idc wat nobody else say its kool and i like it im gettn it next week tuesday cant wait 2 get it.

  • Got this phone 2 days ago (basically for free, only had to pay the tax on it) and I have been enjoying it. It does slow down here and there, and the touch screen can be a bit weird sometimes. But for the most part, I have been enjoying it thus far. It may not be the best touch phone out there, But for what it is, it is a good phone.

  • is gps free with the app?

  • hopefully it iz so wen i get it next week i can get it

  • great videos i am due for an update and will prolly go pickthis phone up tonight i was gonna wait for the storm 2 or possibly the iphone to come to verizon but they currently in a deal with atandt so they cant give the phone out to any other seellers as stated in the contract so that may take a while andoh the problem isnt the logo with iphone and verizon it is the contract

  • That was an excellent series review. I got my Storm last week, and my wife got a 3G-S the week prior. While I like the size of the BB, the 3G-S's wifi is a huge advantage over the BB. Also, suretouch typing should be called slowtouch. I wish I had gotten the Bold instead of the Storm.

  • Nothing compares to a blackberry. A iphone is made by apple, face it it's bloated and apple doesn't care about customers. I had a talk with someone at blackberry headquarters once and they said that if your blackberry storm is having locking/freezing/restarting problems that you could; 1. get a replacement; 2. get the extended battery; 3. or upgrade the firmware to the latest and greatest optimized for the storm. Overall i highly recommend a storm, if you can, get the newest model from Verizon.

  • That voice msg program is so cool...

  • Does The Black Berry Storm support T9 Keyboard or just the Qwerty and SureType keyboard?

  • i got this phone it is the best phone all the other bad comments r bullshit yea it may freeze or lag but if u can get past that its a great phone

  • your the best phone reviewr iv ever seen

  • it seems to me that phones like these always have way too many flaws.

  • dat phone could hook up 2 metro

  • hmmm...... would this be good for multimedia uses like music and video?

  • I may this so soon

  • is the storm good for a teenage boy

  • I would go for an iphone if you are buying for a Teen. Iphones are more fun. But blackberrys are more proffesional.

  • ya but in my contry if the Iphone is breakn

    there is no bail it (you can't fix it)

    too bad 4 me :(

  • i agree iPhones are a LOT more fun. but AT&T is really expensive (monthly anyway)

  • Hell I might get it, You can text quieter and stuff.

  • should i get the blackberry storm or the htc touch pro?

  • the touch pro is the worst phone i have ever had! DONT GET IT! failed on me after a month and was slow out of box!

  • hmm.. yeah i heard about that, but isnt the bb storm laggy too?

  • Blackberry Storm. I have the Storm, and had the htc touch, it lags. A lot.

  • wonder if it has blutooth! please reply. does it??

    i am gettin one tomorrow so i wanna know

  • yes it does

  • Does this come with a USB so that you can get music on to it?

  • In the camera mode, what does that 200+ mean on the far left of the screen?

  • it shows how many pictures you can take before the media card is full

  • I am thinking of getting this phone, but is the monthly bill expensive? I have a job and I get a decent amount of money every 2 weeks.. about $200-$300.. Can I afford to get one? How much are the monthly bills usually? Ps, the reviews have been really helpful! thanks

  • its like $20 a month i think

  • if you are at any point considering buying this phone, I encourage you, as a Storm owner, to read the consumer reviews for it on Verizon's website. These will confirm my statement that this is far and away the WORST electronic device I have ever owned. It lags all the time, locks up, bad battery, tons of problems. Even after the software update, it is worse. Do yourself a favor as a user and just get a Curve. It is far superior to this premature lemon

  • can u put a pic when the music player is on?

  • Comment removed

  • yes

    :-)

  • wow great video i really looking into getting this phone. Thanks alot.

  • does it have a memory card slot and can u watch the videos that you recorded

  • also, how big is it? I am a 15 year old guy, and im wondering if it will be annoying carrying it around at school and how big it is (and if it will even fit in my pocket haha)

  • 2 questions

    1: when buying/browsing apps, is it on internet? and costing money?

    2:is it always that laggy, iw ant to get it but im stuck betweeen this and the new bold...

  • dude come one with a blackberry you have to get a data plan no joke verizon makes you get one and besides dont get a blackberry if your not going to only texting its for data (internet and business mostly)

  • go to the search menu in YouTube and write " blackberry storm slow? "

    and u will see why it is lagging

    watch it carefully

  • This review was very helpful! I'm getting this phone now.

  • Sold! I'm going to go get this phone.

  • are the apps free

  • some of them

  • i have one and would like to know how to get the AIM application icon on the home screen. the one where your picture was that leaf or whatever? how can i get it to that home screen?

  • Nice review, I would really like to buy this phone but are the glitches fixed? Or should I buy something else like the Iphone or the LG Dare?

  • I realy want to get this phone after seeing this , but my mom is being a dick so i don't know if i'll be able to

  • yo my gamertag is m4sturm1nd im on cod4 all the time ill show you how to play.

  • i dont know how old you are but if you have a job then getting a phone should not be a problem, i get payed a little over minimum wage and i can easily afford this.

  • i was thinkin about getting this phone and i think i will after watching your videos. im sure the timing bugs you pointed out has been fixed or help a little. thanks for putting these videos up.

  • what would u rate this phone i don't care what u say I'm saying this to any youtube user i want this phone but don't know if i should bet it

  • very insightful information. thank you.

    i have the iphone and i'm thinking of switching to the storm.

  • hi i need help how do u turn the sync mode in the phone ? i tried to download music but they keep telling me to connect my phone with the usb wire . i did that but still wouldn't connect.

  • dont forget guys, these videos were made right when the storm came out. RIM has sent out firmware updates and fixed most of the problems and it runs alot smoother now

  • Good advice, atleast someone has something good to say about it lol.

    I read all these comments from when this video came out and the others ones. They all have something bad to say.

  • chick-fil-a cow! :P

  • cant wait i get mine Wednesday!

  • so how is it??

  • are the bugs ironed out yet?

  • Yeah they pretty much are now with the new software they get shipped with. I just had mine for about 2 weeks now and the list of problems I have seen people talking about I haven't come across. So things are starting to smooth out.

  • i fucking love my BlackBerry Storm ^^

  • is this a resistive or a capacitive touch?

  • Capacitive

  • i see..tnx!^^

  • I was contemplating between an omnia and an ocean 2. Some how wound up with the storm. It has its flaws, but hey what phone doesn't. All in all I am satisfied. I would recommend a HTC touch pro to anyone that doesn't have the time to research a cell phone.

  • Sold!!! thanx for the review

  • So does the storm have a hard screen like the iphone or is it soft screen.... like the ones that you can use a stylus on

  • I just recently upgraded from a Pearl to the 8830 world edition. I was going to get the Storm but I decided not to, but now a week later I'm going to take my 8830 back and give the storm a chance!

  • I have no idead which phone to buy somebody please giveme some advice

    Im deciding between iphone 3g or the storm

  • I am sold!! Right now i have atell wireless...It sucks!!!! And My contract ends the 13 of july(thank god) so i am totally getting this phone

  • the delay reminds me of my ipod touch lol

  • WOW a total of 8 apps to choose from to download haha, what a piece of crap compared to the iPhone which has over 500! apps to choose from.

  • I just got a blackberry storm and i love it for some reason my friends had trouble with the accelerometer but mine works perfect and the screen adjusts in about 2 to 3 seconds I recommend that you purchase this phone trust me you will love it and the clicking screen feels great blackberry did a great job with this phone

  • Yeah honostly, I got this phone and I don't think there has been a better blackberry. It is literally amazing.

    Though it does lack apps unlike the Iphone, but I'm sure there will be more to come. Also what you have to look at is that the most of the Iphone's apps are useless, just silly stuff that you would never reallu use.

    In my opinion, get this phone over the Iphone anyday.

  • @Sakatarou Team Blackberry!

  • Great review! I am still on the fence between getting this or getting the new Curve.

  • me too!

    I can't decide, and I know that I will like both, but im not sure I want to give up my buttons!?

  • I ended up getting the Curve, and I absolutely love it! I tested out typing on the Storm and it was really finicky, I am not a fan of the touch/click screen. I am so glad I chose the Curve, I don't have a single complaint about it.

  • Well thanks for repying. This may actually help!

  • do they make you get internet or email when you get this phone?

  • can you play youtube videos??

  • yes u can

    and they load really fast

  • do apps cost money? if they do, is it all of them? and how much do they cost?

  • apps that are availabe right now are completely free

  • thanks man, you're a really good reviewer

  • will you make a video when the bugs are "ironed out"?

  • does it support Avi?

  • the voicemail feature is nice.

  • its funny he's trying to blocked the ATT sim card he have installed on that blackberry storm

  • thanks for the review!!!

    do u think they have fixed some of the kinks on it by now???

  • I've watched the 4 parts to this review very helpful,and informative...great job.

  • Thanks for the details! It was all helpful info! I can't wait 'til Auguse for my renewal. This thing should be whipped into shape by then...

  • Does it cost extra for most of the stuff ?

  • A very nice, pretty thorough review. I would have liked to see a call being demonstrated (incoming), but that is being nit picky. GOOD JOB!

  • then dont fucking watch it. i think its a great review

  • is visual voice mail free?

  • You add it on to your plan, I think that it is 1.99 a month...

  • of course not, it's $2.99 extra

  • No it does not support itunes music. They will have a down loadable site launching in March. It will have music, apps and games.

  • According to a flyer i got at a verizon store it can sync with itunes. Is this true? Please let me know. And it also comes with an 8 gig memory card. Is that true too? Someone let me know.

  • itunes i'm not sure about

    milkman seems to know

    but the phone does come with the 8 gig memory card

  • If you ever read this, it is possible to view videos in portrait mode. Set one of the hardware shortcut keys for media. Then, select a video and put it in protrait. Press ur hardware shortcut key, and it should be in protrait. Rotate it for landscape.( i only lnow it works for version .75)

  • nice vid

  • then get the sony erricson w350 its a real nice phone or the iphone

  • ok i really want this phone, but i heard that it has alot or viruses and bugs in it, is that true? is it a good phone? because right now i have the orginal enV, so maybe i shouldnt get this phone, i dont know what to do! so please give me your opinion

  • its been updated so no bugs and lag etc.

  • yah i heard it lags a lot. so thats completely fixed now?

  • yeah with new firmware updates it shouldn't be a problem. iphone was the same when it was released, full of bugs and shit until the firmware updates came.

  • but they're still coming out with more updates so the problems will be fixed

    but still the update that they have already seems to make the storm change its performance drastically

  • I have the phone and it does have a lot of bugs... my phone gives me the most problems when I use the camera it tends to freeze and I have to pull the battery which really sucks because it takes forever to reload

  • how do you get the firmware update?

  • Wat type of format does the blackberry storm use?

    MP3? MP4? Wat does it use

    i need to know so that i can download the right things ahead of time

  • its uses wma

  • thnx

  • Excellent reviews of the phone. I'm hoping the reception will work in my office. I'm going back HOME to blackberry now (a brief stop with the iTOY, i mean the iPhone). I'm confident that they firmware updates will speed up the phone also. AND with the new paper under the battery trick, hopefully the typing will improve as well.

    Thanks for the video

  • ur videos r very helpful..

    thanks

  • one change that is a must for rim is to make the keyboard a full keyboard like the landscape mode keyboard, please change it!!! you are making it twice as hard to type because there are two draw backs to speed the click screen and the two letter per button keyboard

  • so most of the bugs are fixed by the new firmware?or some of the bugs?someone help me out here.i think im gonna get this phone because i have a samsung glide now and it fucks up constantly

  • yea with the new firmware updates that are out there the device is working really smoothly

  • awesome this phone is so cool

  • does n e 1 no if you can turn the clicking off and just touch the screen

  • no you can't because the screen is surepress and this is what makes this phone so different from other touchscreens

  • well I guess I am going with the iPhone then.

  • people please stop saying stuff about applications!!!! omg!!!! the blackberry app store is not out yet. jesus god oh might people are so stupid. look some s-hit up before you talk.

  • What is the story with the Storm and its apps? I just ordered on and expect it early next week. I really am praying that they will have just as cool apps as the iphone...I waited for the STorm, because Verizon is worth sticking with over the crappy ATT service.

  • sorry to dissapoint you 2, but the apps aren't nearly as cool as those on the iphone... if that's what you wanted, you shouldn't have gone for a Blackberry

  • Nope...that wasn't the selling point for me, but I was just curious as to whether or not they were going to be available on the storm. The biggest selling point for me is the Verizon network; which is the best in the country.

  • does the blackberry software work on a macintosh computer?

  • yeah I have been wondering that also

  • Wow, geotagging? That's pretty nice. I didn't notice that before lol

  • is the screen made of glass ???

  • No, plastic I'd imagine. But good quality plastic haha. I don't have on yet, but I'm going to say it is not glass. :)

  • how do u download music, do ave to buy from a verizon online store or can u download it from itunes

  • it comes with a disc u can put your own music on it in wma format...from those songs you can set them as your ringtones

  • nice, the storm is pretty awesome.

  • question on the music...is there a way to put ur songs from itunes on there?? i mean the files of music are on my computer so it should go onto my blackberry right?

  • see i was just asking the same thing and also if i tunes doesn't work what do we use? can we use windows media player or what?

  • they released an update 2 weeks ago to fix the lagging and make it faster with less bugs, its better now. and yes, my songs synced from itunes right onto the storm very easily. although i didn't buy those somgs off itunes.
