BlackBerry STORM The WORST MISTAKE in ur life

Hmmm...so if I get one it'll replace 20 years of staying together for the kids as the worst mistake in my life? Sign me up.

Kidding. Sometimes the most terrible thing I think up is also the funniest. I feel like that's a cry for help, possibly.

In all seriousness, the letters 'Y' and 'O' are suffering a tragic recession of use on internet forums across the English speaking world.

Ur was a city in Mesopotamia, not a word in the English language.

After doing RESEARCH I decided the storm was right for ME. Please buy a laptop and a regular cell phone, then go join the laptop manufacturer web forum and go complain about it.

Three vampires walk into a bar. The first vampire orders a pint of blood, the second vampire says he will have the same, the third vampire orders a pint of plasma. The bartender looks at them and says, "Let me get this right, 2 bloods and a blood lite."
Thanks Antar.

Not exactly a glowing endorsement. That said, why settle for just "decent" and "doesn't suck" when there are other, better options out there. And while Blackberry email is good it certainly isn't "perfect" especially when on a BIS.

If you meant me, you should also know that I was a BB guy. I use what works for me and am not a fan boy to any platform.

i don't think this is entirely true, the Storm isn't really a device pointed at apple's iphone. it's a device pointed at blackberry enthusiasts who also want touch screen ability...

regarding chrome, i hate it, but the Storm's is sort of toned-down, so it doesn't bother me too much....chrome is something Apple really digs....

i doubt that the Storm is for those that "...don't NEED a Blackberry...", why would anyone, in their right mind, commit to any kind of contract or spend 530 retail for this device when they don't need it to be a blackberry ?

imo, there are plenty of idiots out there that are itching right this second to go buy the iphone sans contract, dropping upwards of what most ppl are willing to spend for a flat-screen TV !, but for an iphone ? i can see how a Storm is worth 500, but any iphone of any capacity is not worth the money they ask for it. i can use an iphone/ipod touch for a few weeks and then get sick of it (i've done so, i know)....but i can use a blackberry for months and never get sick of it.

It most certainly was. The Verizon commercials are proof of that.

only in verizon's 'mind'.....

i never heard or read about RIM going on record to say this phone is [in any way] an attempt to compete with or take some market share from the iphone....but leave it to the misguided and rumor starters to pave that road.

Your right, it may have not been RIM intention, but Verizon certainly treated it as such.
