The Blackberry Storm.

Sign in to disble this ad
Any one have one, still? I read past threads, but theyre all from December of '08.

I finished the school year with my 4.0, and want to get something useful that will last. My current phone is about to fall apart.

Just any opinions. My friend has one and swears by it.

No iPhone fanboys trying to convert me! It has to be Verizon, seeing that I was on Alltel and they were bought by Verizon.

In all honesty, I don't see what all their hype is about. The only real attraction I could see is the chat.
We don't really have them back home in Aus, but since I got here EVERYONE has one of some sort. I still much prefer my N95's features and the layout over blackberries.
I'm also wary of new technology if wanting it to last a long time as well. I have friends with both iPhones and LG touches, plus know someone here that had a storm and all had the touch screens play up on them after a while.

Just food for thought.

Well, I currently have the Motorola Rokr. With being Junior Class president this year, and this summer, having a phone I can put info in and have reliable is my main thing. Junior class prom is practically my responsibility.

My dad has a Palm, and I may go that route, but I want a phone that still has a tad of a cool factor. Though dont get me wrong! Im not a "cool kid".

Remember, it has to be with Verizon. The website doesnt seem to have the Palm Pre, thus making it out of the question.

Maybe the Curve. I just wanted a touch screen, smart phone.

Verizon's choices suck. I'm stuck with my old phone because I don't want to upgrade to a mediocre phone.

I've played around with the Storm, I hate it.

Yeah. I agree. They arent spectacular, but I really could use a good smart phone this summer, and up coming school year.

Get the Bold, the Storm's touch screen is a little spotty.

Verizon doesn't support the Bold. Otherwise I would have upgraded to that a long time ago

Yeah...oh well. I might just be better off with an enV Touch. It looks SLICK.

Weird, everyone in Canada does. Does Verizon not have 3G?

There's the new Smart Phone that was just released, but I don't know if Verizon is going to be supporting that one. Similar to the iPhone, say a sort of iPhone clone? Don't know too much about it.

Yeah, for 6 months or something like that. A friend of mine got it at Christmas and it has been out for a bit already. Although RIM is in the closest big city to me, so we probably see everything sooner.
