I am extremely happy with my decision. LOL...the one thing I keep doing is trying to click through it....not a big deal..just funny.I think they mean that the OS is so fluid, intuitive, and polished a kid could use it.
I'd instantly switch to the iPhone (or at least very seriously consider doing so) if it were ever available on Verizon. Even if it meant giving up my Storm.
If you have to Activesync for corporate e-mail...this thing blows the doors off of anything WinMo offers...which is just that much more sad.
My wife loves her Curve...which seems to be the general concensus....but the Storm...I just could not take any more of the frustrations.02-11-09 07:45 PM - Awesome. I hope it works out for you jeep... Nobody can't say you didn't give it a fair shake, and re-shake.. and tumble... and throw...
I've tried (and failed) to make this point several times. I work with surgeons, CCU docs and neurologists that won't give up their iPhones for anything.
The idea that we all wouldn't want a polished OS is... well, it would be rude to say what it is. The OS should be the most invisible part of a productivity tool... The fact that the OS is the central character in the Storm Saga tells almost the whole story in a nutshell...I think they mean that the OS is so fluid, intuitive, and polished a kid could use it.
I'd instantly switch to the iPhone (or at least very seriously consider doing so) if it were ever available on Verizon. Even if it meant giving up my Storm.02-11-09 08:28 PM - Fixed the music issue thank god lol there were a few improvements to the phone speed and reliability wise.
Oh an jeep you'll drop a call eventually...its in the phones nature
My friends have the same issue of having the phone ring with nothing being displayed
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com02-12-09 08:14 AM - .103 is working great! pretty much all the interface functions (scrolling, screen changes, meus) are smoother than .99 and slightly faster. reliability was good for me on .99 and .103 has only been out for a day so no definitive feedback yet. you may have given up too soon.
you should definitely point your noob friend to this forum so he can get input on how to avoid the issues you had. it would be interesting to see if a different user with the same device has the same issues. of course, just your luck, he'll upgrade to .103 and have none of the issues you had. lol
enjoy your iphone. btw how would you compare activesync to BES integration? i don't think i could live without push email and wireless sync for all my outlook stuff.02-12-09 09:23 AM - Ok. I have to post because this is so ridiculous. To the people blindly defending the storm. Drop your agenda. You are as clueless, persistent, and blind as the general masses in this country who blindly support Obama despite his failing to bring any change what so ever.
Do you really think people are just making this up. First off, I hate the i-phone. The people alone that use it makes it impossible for me to take it even remotely seriously in a business situation. What that said. How in the **** does anyone think this is suitable for business? Maybe if you are 5' tall and you have the hands of a small child. This phone has gotten progressively worse. It thinks all of the time. Sometimes it will work great all day. Then the next day it doesn't work. I bought my gf one when I purchased mine. Same issues. Everyone I know has issues with them, some more prominent than others, THe point is, there ARE problems with this phone. Forget the i-phone. Keep that ferry phone and (excuse me for this) screw Steve Jobs. He is a dirtbag. As CEO of a PUBLIC company it is his duty to keep the interest of shareholders a priority. By keeping his illness silent and secret from investors he has prevented investors from acting in their own interest. But enough about apple and their artsy-fartsy products (i do own i-pod, wouldnt have it any other way).
THis phone, in its current state, is a POS. Yes. a Pee-oh-ess. Then RIM CEO has the nerve to tell us to deal with it??? Excuse me? Deal with it? I am not a beta tester. I am not paid to test for this company. I do not have the time or patience to work these bugs out. I would have waited but unfortunately verizon doesn't offer any other phones worth looking at. Palm fell of and basically abandoned Verizon so there are no options there. The storm cannot browse effectively without a stylus unfortunately. Highlighting specifics and other things are nearly impossible and very time consuming/cumbersome. I could go on and on. I understand the business prospective on it and why they released it prematurely. If any of you think RIM was not aware this phone was not ready for release please do not pass go, do not collect $200. You FAIL. The released it so they could boost profits before the end of the year as well as cash in on Christmas sales. Regardless. The phone should not have been released until it at least could make and receive calls flawlessly. I would not trust this phone in an emergency situation. With that said, I feel better after my rant. Quit taking rants so personally. THis is the internet, and this is where we come to complain. No one is forcing you to read this. No one is screaming in your ear. So STFU, and let's all get a long

- He is a Republican (save politcal snipes for forums on politics)
- He dislikes Apple as a company
- He prolly has never purchased a phone until it was a year old
The first 2 should be blatantly obvious. The last one...
Orange pulled the Bold once and considered permanently shelving iut for issues.
The massive primary complaint about the iPhone 3G was its inability to to reliably maintain a network connection and dropped calls (which still plague it)
LG... pick a phone. Even the Dare, a dumb phone, was pooched at release (and still may be).
Samsung Instinct: Issues
G1: *chuckle* has issues.
And on and on and on and on...
The CEO of RIM openly stated something that has been accepted for anything software driven for almost 2 decades. Moronic? Definately, but he didn't lie a single bit.
If you feel the phone is too unreliable, by all means get one you feel is. People keep saying the Curve is rock solid. After 2 years, I'd hope so.02-12-09 10:23 PM
