BlackBerry Storm 9530
The trick is in the comparison.
I just spent my lunch hours, and then some, at Circuit City playing with the new Samsung Omnia. I had very high hopes for this phone and thought it would replace the Storm as my choice for to replace my Curve.
Long story short, I left without the Omnia and the Storm is still the most likely choice for my new business device once they get the final (for now) software update out.
The Omnia was a super sharp looking phone and seemed to perform very well...but I just couldn't...

A few questions
Bell releases OS 4.7.0.76 for Storm?
I would guess RIM has released these updates to the carriers but Bell has approved it's version before Verizon. Speed it up VZW!!!

Just trying to keep you seperated from actual intelligent conversation going on elsewhere.

Who Decides what kills iPhone????
We need a wipe of the forum...
we also need some sections so that fscdude, playboy and the rest of us could argue in and the normal questions could actaully get answered and not all off track with their and our arguing.

Storm and new .75 software
Now that people are getting the new OS, things are looking up with fewer people complaining. The new OS makes the Storm a very good blackberry. Just wait till .76 comes( even better). Patience will reward you my friends. Ignore the negative reviews..better yet, read into them. What I mean is, if you read closly on who's complaining, you will see that many are first time berry users who were expecting something similar to the Iphone, Voyager or Dare. I'll be honest h...

Screen flip
Anyone else own RIM stock
It also stated that Verizons reluctance to release updated sales numbers of the Storm has further fueled negative speculation. Looks like Verizon is protecting it's own stock and throwing RIM to the wolves.
I went to check this morning after reading this and RIM is not doing well.
Slow, Laggy, Stutters, non standard charging port
Heaven forbid.
This phone is slow, laggy and
has a charge/data port
that is not a mini USB
For the love of god can we stop making new ports on every new phone and just stick to something we all have a charger for already.
NOPE.... Verizon has to feed their kids too.
So you all have to pay up and get new chargers.
I'm not impressed by their supposed
"iPhone killer" that was verizons words, not mine.
The Storm almost makes my Q9M look good.
And thats not saying much.
HOWEVER, this phone is just barely worth 99$ if you paid that much for it, hopefully, but its not worth any more than that.
Bluetooth hack
thanks in advance.
I dont get it
turn off auto gem??
How I turn it off so I am always on cdma without messing up my data plan...thanks
Does plan upgrade get phone discount?
Customer support says its based on my "New Every Two" date, but I don't think they are understanding that my whole plan would be changing. Thanks for the info!
The eagle has landed!! Storm in my hand as of 1 minute ago.
One more thing Id like to add. Its nice to see 100+ people waiting outside this store in the cold, knowing they will be there for hours. Im done and out.
Cheers!

Simple man's take on the Storm

It’s definitely the best deal I’ve ever gotten on a smartphone or PDA. After the rebate I got the phone for $116. They also give you an 8 GB media card. I thought they should give you a holster but I’m getting...
