Blackberry, does it deliver what it promises?
- When I purchased my storm, I thought I had made the best decision, but now, I think differently. I have to take the battery out twice a day, it hangs almost all the time, it crashes at least once a week and the system is so slow to load applications. The ipod and itouch dont have battery pulls, how is this divice better? what makes it better? it is actually just as similar to a windows operating system.....03-12-09 04:08 PMLike 0

- I am waiting for the new release to come out. I don't want to load another release to make it worst if it is not finished. By the way I also placed a piece of folded paper behind the battery to make the corners click....03-12-09 04:31 PMLike 0
- I feel the storm is a mixed bag
Was it all it should have been ? no
are people handing them back and going back to tradditional blackberrys or iphones? many are
Did it promote blackberry as a mainstream phone? Unsure I think the storm certianly got more people interested in blackberrys, the downside is by releasing an unfinished product it may have put some off blackberrys for good
I feel the storm was a marketing error in blackberry that will be rectified with the niagra..they are no good at touch screens ..leave them be and concentrate on what you are good at03-12-09 04:34 PMLike 0 - I feel the storm is a mixed bag

Well thats how technology is, I guess nothing is perfect, but also should not be so crapy.03-12-09 04:42 PMLike 0 - To answer your general question... In my case: Yes. But I wasn't expecting too much. I wanted a big screen (check), email on the go for those times when I forget to print something out or need to look something up/confirm something (check), and the ability to use programs like Google Maps (check). Basically, something similar to my LG Dare, only better, and the Storm delivered that in spades.03-12-09 05:07 PMLike 0
- I,Personally, could not be happier with this device. It's done everything I've expected of it and more. And what's exciting to me, is that the potential of the Storm, imho, is off the chart. Is it perfect?, of course not. Neither is my car, but it carries me where I need to go. I recently upgraded to .109, and I'm even a bigger fan, now.
Can't think of too much to complain about.03-12-09 05:34 PMLike 0 - 03-12-09 05:40 PMLike 0
- patches152Banned.109 is a leaked unoffical OS. they're fine, but different people have different experiences based on apps, regular device maintenance, and unrealistic expectations. i'd say try the betas if you're looking for some speed and wanna try something new. you can always go back. just like anything else in life, there is always another option.03-12-09 06:12 PMLike 0
