After almost a year - is the Storm 2 still a good choice?
Hello everyone. First post here.
First let me say how a appreciate the forum and how everyone here is so enthusiastic about their BB.
Now, my case:
I have tried many phones over the last couple of years, but only got my first BB some a few months ago. Even though buying a BB was a major step for me, I didn't regret. I got the Bold 9700 and the phone was amazing. Unfortunately I lost it (yes, yes, I know...) and now I am getting a new phone.
Now, I am a big fan of the BBs. I especially like the minimalist OS. It is not flashy, it doesn't have all those transitions and funky icons, but I like the OS the way it is. Unnecessary to say the keyboard on the 9700 rocks as well. Since I had to get a new phone and I was hooping to stay with a BB, I made a little research and learned about the Storm 2. Went to a store and tried it, mainly for the unique input method that it has, and I simply loved it. The typing experience, for me, was very very good.
The problem is, with all the other brands having their top phones in the market, and taking into consideration how fast (usually every year) new and better phones become available, I am wondering if the Storm 2 is still a good choice, if it is still able to compete with the newer phones recently released.
We all know that what the BBs do they do very well. But in comparison to these newer phones, is "very well" still enough to put up a good fight?
If you guys would take the time to leave your input, I'd appreciate.
