some links says 528 mhz and some says 624 mhz but no one knows the correct ones at all for storm.

I think the people that make them and sell them would know a little more about what's the processor speed instead of some random internet people (links). Also, I believe the processors can actually be faster by they have to limit them for the device so they work properly.

Fastest Processor - Cell Phones Top List


bold and storm are ranked 3 rd fastest processor for cellphone and you can go see for yourself that I am correct about it thank you

No the 9530 does not have as fast a processor as the Bold. One uses Qualcomm while the other uses Marvell. Big difference. Furthermore, the processor in the 9530 is dual core. One for processing and one for graphics. Regardless, it is not as fast as the Bolds processor.

Depends how you look at it. Ive been meaning to do the same BUT, ATT service is so shotty I don't know that I can do it. Verizon on the other hand has the best service in Arizona. It has its pros and cons.

ATT:
Great phone
Crappy Service

Verizon:
Crappy phone
Great Service.

This is relative to where I live, might be different for you.

I was going to do the Free Refurb Bold but the ATT service changed my mind.

The Niagara looks like the perfect balance of phone.
It is bigger than the Curve/8900, but smaller than the Bold 9000.

I adored the size of the 88XX, and equip it now with a camera and that other fixin's, oh boy.

I'm trying to get my hands onto a Storm, but only time will tell ultimately where I end up.

I'm in NJ and AT&T coverage is supposedly strong here. I have a crappy Voyager that is bout to die and i dont want to wait for the 9630 if it comes out in August like some people are saying. Lets face it, RIM and VZW arent the best with keeping to release dates.

[MT_Shadow]

wow I hope the may/june date is right but if u are right about august I may have a problem... this Q is not going to last that long. fingers cross for june..... also WIKI is NOT a reliable source. it is laughed out of the scientific community for a reason. any aO can put info on there. but i'm not saying 5xx or 6xx the dual throws a wrench in the comparison for sure too.

AT&T coverage depends on where in NJ, probably just like most carriers. I'm in northern NJ and found that AT&T's coverage was spotty at best whereas Verizon's coverage is excellent; Verizon hasn't let me down anywhere I travel in the tri-state area.

Personally, I wish that wasn't the case because I would love to have the Bold, but good coverage is more important to me so I'll be waiting for the 9630. I have the 8830WE now and love it, but it's time for a change and an officially updated OS (and I miss having a camera available).

If possible, check out the AT&T coverage around where you live and/or work before signing on the dotted line.

Good luck!

Well, the 9630 most likely is not going to be a crappy phone...so let me fix your post for you:

ATT:
Great phone
Crappy Service

Verizon:
Most likely great phone
Great service.

Thank you.

I am in the same situation.
If I leave Verizon I will pay the $155 ETF ( my company will take care of this as they are fed up with my Storm).
I am going to wait until the 21st to see if the new offering from T-Mobile will be a BB other wise I will go back to AT&T and get the Bold.

I was also thinking the Pre, but not sure yet.

Thank you.

for a more reliable assertion of verizon minus the coolaid!

Verizon:
Good: service, network
Bad: phone selection, crippled features
