I am also thinking about leaving Sprint to switch to Verizon for the BB Storm. But Sprint told me I would have to pay a $200 etf since my contract isn't up for another year. How are you not having to pay the etf? Because I don't want to pay $200...I'm planing on leaving sprint now that you can leave without paying the etf
....so guys tell me what makes the storm better than any other BB?? I've been reading so much negative stuff about it , But I just love the design and maybe the click screen is not that bad>.. Help ???
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com02-08-09 01:46 PM - I had an 8830 and loved it. It is a good phone but there is no camera (business usage never really needed it) and I never thought I'd use a camera phone as much as I have my Storm. You may love the Storm but with every new gadget, there is room for improvement. Rather than getting a curve and "always wondering," yes, the storm has its issues but with each beta they are improving everything.I'm planing on leaving sprint now that you can leave without paying the etf ....so guys tell me what makes the storm better than any other BB??

I'd take the plunge, if you hate it, you can take it back for a swap to a different Blackberry within 30 days?. (Check with the agreement terms before taking my advice on that one.) I love my Storm and would not go back. I also have full BES through work with a very user-friendly IT policy so that too is a bonus. Few users are posting how much they love the Storm especially on a forum of users helping users (many of which only got their first Blackberry with the purchase of the Storm and that amplifies the frustration since there is/was little experience in them yet or at least at the time of launch.) We have been discovering as we go and sharing in most cases, please review this post before you even buy: http://forums.crackberry.com/f135/ It sure helped me to prepare as I counted the days for my purchase.
(I waited to cash in my wife's New-Every-Two!)
There are many people on this forum that complain about the Storm, but there are just as many loving it and so if they are not in love with it, they will beat you up over your opinion if you end up liking it... So if you do get one, don't tell anyone you love it, just keep sitting on the couch tinkering with it while your wife watches TiVo and you have to ask her not to delete shows due to the fact you are tinkering and were not paying attention during the program.
I digress.
Whatever you decide, I hope you love your new Blackberry, also what phone were you using with Sprint? AND, why have you ruled out the option for AT&T and an iPhone? Note: the Storm is not an iPhone, it is a Blackberry with touch capabilities, it is not perfect yet but it is a great start in a direction all phone manufacturers are headed in. Desktop Manager has never been intended to compete with iTunes so it is a little more user intense to transfer multimedia files. The click-screen takes a little getting used to, but I could not imagine it any other way!
