After reading this, BlackBerry's Storm and the Coolness Factor - Technology Blog - Tech Observer - Portfolio.com, now I know this phone will be a hit.

[driwashsolutions]

I agree -

So, what kind of cars do the folks that are holding out for the Storm drive?

I'll Start:

2006 Mustang - Black w/Silver Lemans Stripes

That's coolness in my eyes

[Habious]

2003 Lexus SC430 hard-top convertible.

Black with tan leather interior and and a custom CarPC that displays on the factory navigation system (3900 mp3's, music videos, DVD's, Internet, real-time digital gauges (tied to car's system), HDRadio, Sirius Satellite Radio...and more).

omg, you didn't just turn this into a "brag about my car" thread, lol

Meh- the "Coolness" factor, though huge for some people, isn't really something I stay up late at night about - wondering if I'm "in" or not.

For me, the device has to have substance over style - which is why I bought a BlackBerry over an iPhone in the first place, despite being a Mac-owner.
(yeah, THAT surprised a few of my friends...)
It fit best with what my personal needs required.

If anything, the Storm is probably going to win over quite a few BlackBerry users and a lot of folks who are undecided about the iPhone or its AT&T-only carrier option.
That said, I do think the Storm is Cool - can't wait to try one on!

Hey, gotta do something to pass the time - I'm kinda tired reading about "No WiFi" and "Release Dates"...

Haha function first for me, but coolness is always a plus (especially if ur single )...What good is a hooked up whip if it suddenly breaks down on you haha

Speaking just from my experience of course, that's the seventh Mustang that's been in my stable over the years and all of them have been daily driven work horses. (All puns intended)

Besides regular maintenance, I have replaced one transmission and two alternators. That's it. Just for the record, I lost #1 to a fire but that was my fault, not the car's.

Very dependable.

It's kind of funny... Crackberry has become like my pre-Storm-release support group.

Looking forward to the Storm.

That's why I went with the Lexus.

V8-powered sports car, hardtop convertible for the coolness factor, but all with Lexus/Toyota reliability.

Sweetness!

Back at ya!

Now you're just tryin' to make me jealous

VERY cool.

[psi3595]

What's really gonna be cool is showing it off. As a New Yorker, I take the train every day even the weekends. Now, when the train is packed I can take out my STORM and tease, tease and tease!!!! LOL

[Stang68]

I guess my username says it all



Now picture me in there with a STORM in my hands. No one is gonna want to mess with me haha

Unfortunately, all the people I work with could care less about their phone and being connected - so that doesn't work for me. I'm the only BB user in a 70 person office full of engineers, and quite possibly, the only one on the entire site!

Dude - we're brothers from a different mother!

Haha! And, I am planning getting some white stripes down mine, also! Weirdddd...and now we will both have Storms to match

True story.

The picture of mine was taken as the sun was setting - the stripes over the top look gold - but they're actually silver, as are the rocker stripes.

Heck, if you want silver stripes, I have a 10" wide roll with enough left to do your car!
