Done with the Storm... What now?
- So after two phones, I decided I'm done with the BB Storm.
It's been 12 days and I can say it's more stress than anything. I'm really not satisfied with the screen and to be honest, it's not going to get better in the near future. I don't want to keep exchanging for the inevitable. I am considering returning to my Treo and then wait for the Verizon Bold/Curve to come in a few months.
My question though is, how does it work? I recently resigned a two year contract for this phone. If I bring my phone back and say I'm really not satisfied, can I cancel my current contract, get a refund, and revert to my previous contract (had about half a year left)? Or do I lose my "new contract" credit since I signed up for the Storm?
Any thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated.01-09-09 09:47 PMLike 0 - if you are within 30 days of purchasing the blackberry storm, just bring it back, and go back to your old phone, and you will still have your NE2.01-09-09 09:49 PMLike 0

- I think my worry is, since I upgraded to this phone and used my $50 credit and all, when I refund, would I be able to get that credit back towards my new phone?01-09-09 09:51 PMLike 0

- get a curve--you won't regret the decision--VZW will release some new blackberrys in the first quarter(niagara, jupiter, apex) so you can switch to one of those devices also. If you were a VZW customer prior to upgrading you can just go back to your old device or go to the curve without penalty. You have 30 days to return it and go back to whatever you had or if you want to get something different.
If I return the Storm, I'm pretty done with Verizon, so I wouldn't be worried about getting another phone. I'd switch to Helio and the Ocean.01-09-09 09:59 PMLike 0 - This goes for the contract as well, correct? If I return my Storm, I'll revert back to my contract that still has four months to go?

- I would give the Storm another shot. This phone has a growing user base - I was at a "corporate store" on Wednesday and two people came in and reqeuested a Storm. One was a former Sprint customer who got sick of Sprint. I'm sure that some of these peeps will return the Storm but most won't. I think the OS will get a major update within the next 3 - 6 months.

- I have a similar question. I would like to return the storm and wait on the bold to come to VZN. The problem is I came to VZN from another carrier. They told me that the only way for me not to pay retail for a new device this year was to go back to my previous carrier. I have an 8830 from a previous CDMA carrier but it is not VZN. Anybody with some different insight?01-12-09 01:39 PMLike 0
