- I was thinkin the same. Nobody in tjheir right mind would want to remind people of the first storm. Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com05-25-09 10:45 AMLike 0
- or maybe if they release the storm 2 by this summer they will be able to release the storm 3 by Christmas! JK I've heard that the Storm 2 will be coming out in September though.05-27-09 06:18 PMLike 0
- Isn't it about time we start hearing a few leaks about the BlackBerry Atlas? Come on RIM, through us a bone!05-29-09 04:28 PMLike 0
- I'm very interested in the Atlas since hearing the very little we heard from BGR. Essentially that it would drop shortly after the Tour after previously saying every phone after Tour on verizon would have WiFi.
If this phone represents a Tour, but with Wifi instead of World Phone capabilities (GSM radio) then I will be all over it. I have no great use for either but can see much more opportunity to use the wifi than the world phone.05-29-09 05:27 PMLike 0 - Umm. Read my post slower. i'm not suggesting the Atlas is a Tour or vice versa. I was merely drawing the similarity to the Tour.. but with wifi instead of world phone stylings.
presumably:
Full qwerty Boldish keyboard
3g
3.2 mp
similar or same processor/ram
wifiLast edited by kcmoberry; 05-29-09 at 11:56 PM.

The only reason I would be interested is if they had a program like on a WM phone where you could set it to be a hot spot and network a laptop to it for wireless internat access. Other than that, I only noticed how it sucked down the battery. I guess that is the ral reason I seldom used the feature. You could watch the battery bar drain when it was on.

(caution.. lol.. run on sentence beginning) My point with wifi considerations of Atlas (presumed) is that: given a choice in two supposed (also presumed) similar devices.. with the sole defining difference in them being one has a gsm radio for "world edition" status and the the other has wifi capability.. I'm going to choose the wifi variety.
My reasoning being: I can see a potential use for the wifi feature (like at a wifi hotspot like starbucks or on an airplane or hotel or maybe even on a cruise ship) that I simply can't see in the GSM capability. I wouldnt purchase one of those outrageously priced plans for traveling abroad and using GSM/sim card. The world capabilites on the Tour will probably never be used by me.
I don't need wifi or world edition.. but given a choice I'd take wifi.. I just wanna know if that is going to be the choice I'm presented with in Atlas versus Tour in the near future.05-29-09 11:45 PMLike 0 - for me in this instance it's not a debate about with or without..

- if the Atlas does represent a lower end phone (ie: not 3g, weak camera - like the gemini) then it will be off my interest list.
we all know most of the core blackberry principles we love are in every BB. what separates them is form factor, camera, wifi/world ed, 3g/non3g, gps.
for me.. 3g, gps, and the 3.2 mp cam with flash and auto focus top my amenities list in my next BB. (i dont own a digital cam.. my BB is my camera along with it's other abilities)
wifi/world edition are icing. as stated.. i'd prefer wifi over world ed if given a viable choice.. but neither deal break me. if atlas is missing my other needs listed above.. it will be stricken.. lol.
"no soup for you!" :P seinfeld reference!
I'll be going Tour if the presumptions above are true.05-30-09 12:50 PMLike 0 - on verizon all phones on EVDO are 3g. The tour might be REV A vs atlas at Rev 0. I think it will have lower end specs 2.0 camera, but more memory than curve 8330 and maybe a little better processor plus wi-fi.
I agree I had a curve 8330 and camera was ok now I have 8900 and camera is 3x as good. The auto focus is great, cant wait for first bb to have 5.0 mp camera. I use it alot more than my regular camera for those in the moment type pics.05-30-09 01:14 PMLike 0
