blackberry storm

[MadJack]

What a douche nozzle. I would have kicked him in the nuggets and asked for another sales person.

the one kid pretty much talked me into the HTC touch (i think that's what it's called) but i would rather get it from verizon.

so i go into an ATT store and they ask how they can help me. (nobody in there except 3 sales guys)

wife tells them i want an iphone

guys asks me why so i try to tell him what i want it for. the phone, email and something easy to text with.

he says unless i'm really into having an ipod and a toy to play with.... and my main priorities are good phone quality, and email, just go next door and buy a blackberry :scared

true story.

That's pretty much how I ended up with a Blackberry Storm. Great business phone, which BB has always been known for - best email system out there.

But like I said, I LOVE my Ipod Touch - but I view that as an entertainment device (including the Ipone) - not a day to day business instrument.

JMHO. FYI - the Storm 2 (just released) is getting good reviews - people like it much better than the orginal Storm - I may have to upgrade....

wait until 6 november when verizon rolls out their phone that competes against the iphone. It uses google's Android 2.0 and it going to be slicker than snot.

It's called "Droid"

The Droid is going to be as good or better than the iPhone. I have had my iPhone for about 6ish months. I wish we would have waited because being on AT&T blows donkey nuts.

The iPhone App store will be tough to compete with, but with the new development tools out like Appcelerator Titanium the programming involved to work on other platforms is lowering.

If I were not locked into a contract, I would be planning on switching to the Droid once I read a few reviews.

The real scary thing that the Droid makes apparent is the viability of all of the Garmin products. The Google Maps Navigation looks incredible.

I'm going to get myself some Droids in November.

I'm up for 2 new phones on my Verizon contract. BTW, I'm with Jack in that I will stay with Verizon. Not because I "like" them but because AT&T and Sprint suck and drop calls all the time. They have a superior network compared to other providers, at least on the East coast.

well? :shrug:

Got my wife the MOT Droid yesterday. It's going back to the store today because the sound is so bad you can't even understand what the person you're talking to is saying. :shrug:

It's either a factory defect or needs some kind of adjustment. I'm sure they will exchange it for a new one when she takes it back today.

I am getting the HTC Droid but they were out of stock and ordered one for me. I, personally, don't want a slide out keyboard, the virtual one is just fine. I do like the internet browsing capibilities of the Droids better than any other phone I tried in the last few weeks (?).

If I don't like the HTC Droid, I'll return it for the MOT Droid or the HTC Imagio.

BTW, when you are buying 2 or more of these smart phones, I think the iPhone is cheaper for phones loaded with options.
