BlackBerry Storm 9530
How are people giving this phone 4 and 5 star rating?????
Even if new software was right around the corner, which it now appears it isn't, why would we find it acceptable? Would you buy a new car that stalled on you ever three miles and say "It is okay. I hear they are going to be fixing this problem sometime in the future"???
All I can come up with is that those complaining expected perfection out of this phone, and when they didn't get it, they were mad.
I gave it a 4.5 in my review because I honestly like it that much. I'm just personally not having any big issues with the phone.
As far as asking for perfection, that is crap. People did not ask for perfection. They asked for it to work properly. It simply does not. That is not asking too much.
PS- I will rate the Storm before my 30 day return period is up
I said nothing about giving it a 4.5 star rating based on the fact that I hope it might someday work properly. It works properly now. So it lags a little. I liked my Pearl and it had more problems than my Storm!
I gave the Storm a 4.5 rating...not a 5...because it has some lag. If there was no lag I would have given it a 5.
Would you like to share any more make-believe assumptions about what I've said?
I also read that you admitted the lag is present and you are hoping for a fix.
I also read that you admitted that web browsing is just "good." Does "good" rate a 4.5? I would not think so.
The biggest compliment you could give it was it was better than another phone that had serious issues. Does that rate a 4.5? I do not think so.
You also made the lame statement that people were wanting perfection. People are not complaining because the phone is not "perfect." They are complaining because it freezes up, it has poor video quality, it lags and drags on the simplest tasks, it is hard to type on, etc.
It seems to me lik...

The ONLY problem I have with the Storm is some minor lag. Everything else has been awesome!
I did not give it a 5 because of the minor lag. Aside from that, I think the phone is awesome.
Is that clear enough? Do I need to spell it out any better? This is MY opinion of the Storm. You have every right to feel differently, but this has been my experience. I think it's an awesome phone, and if the minor lag can get fixed I'd give it a 5 star rating.
Then you either got the best functioning Storm in existence or you have no idea how good a phone can be.
You go pick out your idea of a good phone and I'll show you a review of someone who doesn't agree with you.
Seriously, aside from the minor lag, what's wrong with the phone? Sound/video quality is amazing for a phone, HTML email & web browsing work great and the call quality seems to be equal to or better than my Pearl was (and my Pearl did just fine there).
The 'click' screen technology along with the SureType keypad has been a cinch coming from a Pearl. Battery life...even using my Bluetooth...gets me through the day with no problems. The included 8gb card was a very nice upgrade from the 4gb card I ha...
