    My dad went to ATT Store yesterday to talk abt switching to ATT from Verizon. He asked the salesperson if ATT is getting Blackberry Storm and then the salesperson said, Yes, We are getting Blackberry Storm. Totally full of bull****. He's trying to lure my dad to switch to att from verizon. My dad wants me to switch to ATT from verizon so I aint switching... ATT. Staying with verizon for good....

    Why would your dad want to switch from VZW to AT&T?? And no, they ARE NOT getting the Storm.

    Switching from VZW to ATT is like going from a BB bold to Motorola Razor.... Seriously you made the right choice by not switching... ATT is horrible not only when it comes to Customer service but the actual service it self...and i say this from experience i cant even begin to count how many times i would experience dropped calls and static-y connections when i was with them... plus look at how they blatantly lied to your father in order to try to get his business.... sad very sad...but when your a sub par provider i guess the only way to get customers is to lie to them...

    LOL, allow me to rebut--I've not had even one IOTA of trouble with ATT--not ONE dropped call, and whenever I need customer service, the people could NOT be more kind, polite and professional.....I wonder what it is about human beings that makes us want to put down those who are not the same?

    Hmm Do you have any information to back up your post because as far as all the leaked information... this phone will be an Exclusive to VZW and the GSM versions are for over seas.... i have heard rumors about being able to unlock an over seas version to use on AT&T's horrible network but have yet to hear about them getting the device... so a link or somthing credible as to where you heard this would be nice...

    No worries Addict83...i was just curious as i have been following the release of this device closely and had yet to hear any info like that so i immediately thought i missed something...In regards to AT&T nothing personal i'm just a die hard AT&T Hater...I have 3-years worth of bad experience's and horror stories with them which is where my hater status comes from...but hey to each their own...

    Why don't you just do this. Buy a 9500 Storm from Vodafone unlock it and then you can use it on AT&T's EDGE AND their 3G network. You will also be able to use Voice AND Data on AT&T's ... network, but those on Verizon can't say the same thing!
    Listen, all carriers have their problems, but all this AT&T bashing is nonsense. Regardless, everyones point was made by their first post. Drop it.

    So here's the deal... The Storm (9530) will indeed be a Verizon exlusive, and yes the Thunder (9500, the Storm's GSM counterpart) will come to ATT eventually. As per my understanding, the Storm will be a hybrid device, and will actually be one of the few CDMA devices that can be unlocked to use on GSM networks. It does not, however, support 3g, and will function on ATT's EDGE network. I myself thought for the longest that this was BS, however it is so, as per information from inside sources.

    Doesn't Norsk993 have the right to voice his opinions, even if you or anyone else disagrees? You may believe his complaints are nonsense but to him he might have real issues with AT&T. That's why I like reading Crackberry forums instead of BG. At least here, all viewpoints can be heard.

    Correct JJ. The 9530 will not work on AT&T's 3G. But... the 9500 will.

    Yes he does have to the right to voice his opinions, but in the past and here lately the these kind of opinions always start some kind of carrier war. I agree I do like reading here rather than anywhere else because you can voice opinions. However the way he worded it saying that the rep is ... not the way to go about. There are guidelines and rules to follow one being language. This is a family place and needs to be kept as clean as possible. Just my 2 cents

    Agreed. There are WAY too many carrier wars that have been igniting lately, and it's just silly and pointless. I am loyal to Verizon, despite some issues as of late, but that doesn't mean that I hate ATT or Tmobile or am offended by any individual who prefers either carrier.

    As stated, there are guidelines to this forum for a reason. To start a post saying that one carrier is full of BS or lame or crap because of one reason or another is pointless and will only return negative responses generally. Now, starting a thread with an subjective title such as "Unhappy with ATT" or "Why I'm thinking of leaving Verizon" is a whole different story. This route always generates a more positive and unbiased response base.

    Guys,

    I never had an issue with att... I only heard complaints from my friends who have ATT. Im just only voicing my opinions, not complaining... I had real issure with Tmobile Sk1, Sk2, Sk3. FYI, I am hearing impaired. Well, I am not bashing on ATT because I find this suspuicous with ATT saying that they will be getting Storm.
