so after seeing storm 2 pics...
do you guys think that RIM did away with the SurePress technology? in my opinion it looks like the screen doesnt look like one that would press down. but thats just how i feel. it would actually be awesome if the touchscreen for this device ended up being like that.
what do you guys think?
Storm 2 => will it really be any better.
My experience is that the camera doesn't work well, media playing on the device doesn't work well, movies, tv shows etc.
When trying to record video/take a picture/watch a video, well lets just say none of those things work well. We've had our devices since November and those things still don't work well and yes I have upgraded and tried some of
the "leaked OS's".
I do like the email(when it works, seems like we get outages
weekly for hours at a time) I do like the other apps as well.
This is my first "smart phone"
One of the main reasons I got a Storm was so that I could consolidate
my movies/music/etc when I travel so I don't have to carry as much
stuff around. At least 6 months into this experiment I still need to carry
just as much stuff when I travel because the Storm still isn't all it was
"supposed" to be. Maybe it's still coming but 6 months is a long time in
"computer time" I still can't load up my movies on my Storm and play them
on a TV, heck 1/2 the time the Storm will crash when I'm watching something
and I get a phone. If I want to go back to the same part of the movie it
takes a few minutes to get back to that spot.
I really do like the device and I went with the Storm because a phone really
needs to make calls :-) and Verizon has the best coverage but for myself
I've been disappointed in the media capabilities. All of those capabilities have
been available in other devices for a while from other portable devices). I
still carry my PSP around just to watch movies and TV shows when I travel
at least with the PSP and the Storm I don't usually have to carry a laptop
with me anymore but I'm pretty sure I'll be doing to one of those tiny ones
soon and might go back to a regular phone vs the Storm.
I really do like the Storm but I'm a hardheaded **** and I'm just about to the
point where I take the phone back to Verizon and start asking them how I get
the video/camera/movies working and not crash the phone and if they can't
then I'll ask them to take it back. I'll spend an hour or 2 with them but if
they can't demonstrate how to make "my" phone work like it should then it
doesn't work. I hate wasting my time but it's the principal.
Please excuse my spelling and my rant kinda but I'm starting to get a bit
frustrated with the device and how much time I have to spend maintaining
it. We pay enough money to Verizon for the phone and service and it should
just work! If I wanted to own a development platform then shouldn't they
pay me? :D
