To every one i want to tell that i buy STORM ,this was the WORST MISTAKE IN MY LIFE.Now i will explein why i put my BB storm in the trashbarrel on his 2cond day and now i use HP Pocet PC and why i dont want to hear anything again about BB and his STUNNING operating system.

1.st i want to say that i develop internet sites -i need flash player ,but there is no FLASH PLAYER for BB
2. i use SKYPE a lot ....There is no GOOD Skype for BB (fring)
3. NO WI-FI -"smart phone year 2009" without Wi-fi,wi fi is good if you have skype ,you can connect and talk FREE ,but...you dont need wi-fi cuz u dont have skype support
4.no good document manager
5. Problems with bluetooth -cannot send me files
6.dos not support subtitles for films ,i need to put them with divx encoder-dos not work ....when i up the film on BB "there is UN supported version"
7. and a lot more ....

I think BB Storm is 1 ultra mega modern touch pad and nothing more.i forget you can read your E-mail on BB....and ....nothing more
if u think that i am not correct see what REAL SMARTPHONES can do ....or Pocket PC ,try HP,HTC ,Or something what is supported from GOOD FREE software .
So on final I want to ask BB developers "WHAT SMART HAVE BB Storm" smart than NOKIA ,IPhone, HTC ,HP ....Vodafone say :"thanks" to stupid ppl in the world who belive on ur products and buy it ,because when they touch Pocket pc or REAL SMART phone your phones will go to hell.

I will never understand why ppl buy ur products and why you have so much %share on the market for smart phones ,when you dont make SMART phones.

If you like your thread, you might watch your language. Also, the Storm is a poor example of a BlackBerry. Try a Curve 8900 or Bold.

No good developer (especially one targeting mobile devices) leans on Flash like that. Period.

Yeah, there is. It's called UMA.

Verizon sucks. Next question?

User error. If it doesn't work with drag-and-drop, it will with the bundled software.


The BlackBerry Storm was a direct response to the iPhone. It is for young crowds that don't NEED a BlackBerry or any other smartphone. They want a big touchscreen with chrome accents that they can wave around and operate with one finger. Anyone who really needs a smartphone uses a BlackBerry.

Actually the Bluetooth problems are not just limited to the Storm. BB owners in general find it to be hit-or-miss.

[duane534]

Hmm... I've had an 8100, an 8320, and an 8900. No problems here. What is the issue?

Does the BlackBerry Storm not come with spell cheek?

Exactly what I was thinking.

It does come with spell check. Just tried it out in my note pad and that works. Its not an active checker like MS Word.

Of course, the OP believes that this forum is owned or operated by Research in Motion, hence the repeated references to "ur products".

WOW THIS GUY JOINS A BLACKBERRY FORUM TO RANT AND RAVE ON HOW BAD THEY ARE??? Most people that are dependant on certain features on a phone to make their job actually work probably would do the research on the features the phone provides. Not a fair statement to say that BB's in general are crap. Do some research like the 90% of us do so in the future you would NOT get yourself in a situation like this. This whole thing could have been avoided with just like 10 minutes of research.No sympathy for you!

Hey buddy!

[Meyefull]

Trimix, your signature "Light travels faster than sound. That is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak" is definately proven to be right by the OP's post
LOL

Hey ... Antar ... I was wondering ... if you could take your Storm out of the garbage can and send it to me ... I will pay for the shipping ... PM ... and I will take your junk ... I will even give you a few dollars for going through the garbage can if need be!!!

PLEASE ... I am serious ... PM me so we can talk ... I will give you my address to ship it to ... and you can tell me where to send the money!!!

Peace,
BB Lover

Also try to remember that no matter what features it may/may not have, it is still basically & primarily a cell phone. Having all those other little bells & whistles is a nice perk, but it's still a cell phone. If you want to have all those other features work flawlessly, then you made the right move.
But in the future, when you shop for something, do as others here have suggested, and do some research. I mean, if you were buying a car, wouldn't you do just that.

.............just my 2 cents worth.

...and this is the reason I moved from a Windoze mobile smartphone to a blackberry.
I had several windoze based smartphones before moving to a blackberry, and I was very happy with the HTC devices.
My only problem was they SUCKED as phones.
They had crappy battery life, and trying to dial them without your undivided attention usually ended up in a disaster....dialing the wrong number, calling Korea, or just hitting way too many damn buttons and getting nowhere.

The Blackberry just works.
It works good as a phone, decent as a calendar, the contact manager doesn't suck, and the email is perfect.

If you need a Blackberry buy a blackberry....if you need to "do whatever the hell you said with flash, and invent the internet" buy a Laptop and a skype headset from Woot.

[CoDudette]

I wonder if our friend here uses his skype while he's on the move? which again befuddles me, wouldn't you just rather pick up the phone and make the call? although.. unless the person he's trying to reach is in the north pole with no phone coverage.. then i can see skype making sense. (said with a dead serious face).

And you've made the BB a he? aww :(
