I am so glad Im DONE with the storm 1

[BBbutterfly2]

Gosh I don't even know where to begin. I had so many issues with this thing it's not even funny. I am happy to announce to you guys that I am now a proud owner of a BlackBerry storm 2!!!!! If you are still using a storm 1 i do feel your pain as it is one of the crappiest phones to ever hit the market. If you are struggling with that joke of a phone please upgrade to a storm 2 i promise it is worth it!

Im thinking about just getting away from BlackBerry altogether and getting an Iphone. I mean its honestly the best phone out there by far. No crappy click screen with dust in it all the time. My strom was so laggy I could take a shower in between websites loading. IDK someone said I should update to this 5.0 stuff but I dont think its gonna help this piece of garbage.

well there were some OS issues but the other problems, no....many of us didnt and had our storms the entire year and then upgraded to the s2

Well If I could I would literally smash one to pieces. Im sure I could find a free one somewhere, they are discontinued.

I didn't have all those issues and I just got a S2. Heck, I can't even remember the issue I had with my S1 that caused me to turn it in for a new one cause when I got the new one it was perfect!!!

My S1 did its job like a trooper!! Sorry you had less than a favorable exp....but to Matt's point you joined just to make your first post in the Rants or Raves?

Really?

why does it matter why I joined? Everyone has to start somewhere right? Point is your defending a phone and pretending like it was flawless when you know well that that phone is garbage.

Why is the iPhone still for sale but the storm 1 discontinued?

can't answer that can you didn't think so.

I can answer that question. Storm 2 is the reason Storm 1 is discontinued. May I ask what phone you are sporting? Ah. Nevermind.

EVERY phone has flaws!!! It is dependent on the owner to determine how much they are willing to deal with.

The Iphone is very trendy...1mil+ worthless apps (mho) is very enticing to some, NOT me. I have an itouch that can do what the iphone does. Do I use all the apps I have now on my itouch...um no!

I am defending a phone that HAS worked for me. If it didn't, I would get something else and move on. But in doing so, I would not parade or announce to the world as to why I stopped using the phone...the reason why......99.99% of the people could CARELESS about my personal experience or issue with said phone!!!!

If you think Rim is in such peril why did you sign on to a "sinking ship?"

You sited Apple here and Apple and Android in a different forum post. Dude or chick (username...sorry can't tell) just go awol from blackberry altogether, you won't be missed and we sure won't tell!

I don't think that the basic premise is wrong, and by its title, "Storm Rants & Raves Forum," rants like this seem to be encouraged. The Storm 1 originally had a ton of problems although now with 5.0 it works pretty well for me. I do run a hybrid OS and limit the apps I run which I really shouldn't have to do IMHO. It is strange how much emotion is attached to this phone. I dare say it is almost iPhone-like where criticism of the phone, valid or not, elicits the immediate "Troll" response.

But to say that someone should be banned because they like the Storm 2 much better than a Storm 1 because it is a significantly better phone (as it should be) in this subforum is wrong. If it isn't, the title should be changed to "Storm Raves."

I ran into the OP in the Blackberry Discussion or Blackberry News and Rumours forum and noticed that he/she had two threads that were closed. So for curiosity's sake I followed his/her other posts. Definitely someone who is looking for arguments.
I guess as long as he/she keeps his/her rants and attention getting posts here, it's acceptable to the mods. And frankly, acceptable to me. Keep her/him here where he/she won't cause any more disruption elsewhere. She/he has had two threads closed for this kind of posting, I would imagine that if it continues other steps may be taken.
