On the move for work, stay connected, and the Blackberry Storm are; a perfect combination. The Storm supports my hectic work life and I am glad I have it. It tends to slow down sometimes and the battery life is not great either but I am ok with that as it gives me access to my emails and has, a great display.
Nice phone to get your hands on. It's gotta great screen with crisp clear display and even the clicktouch feature works good. I really enjoyed using the available QWERTY keyboard and even accessing web is very easy. It makes for a good business companion even while you're traveling.
My Blackberry 9530 is great to have, works on CDMA and GSM networks. The internet and email are really fast. The software is a bit of a problem and tends to freeze but I am told this issue will get resolved with the new software so I am ok with that.
I bought this phone last week and should say it's damn slow, even scrolling across menus took some time. I had to reboot the phone after sometime to access the applications normally. It even comes without Wi-Fi, which did make me sad. Overall, I think they should still work on this one to brand it as an iPhone killer.
The Blackberry Storm came into my life and really stormed it. I had never used a Blackberry before, but mind you I love it now. Though it takes time to get used to so many icons and understand all its functionalities, once you master them it’s just absolutely wonderful. Though the SurePress is a great idea but it tends to slow down the typing intensive activities like emails and texting because it requires you to select each letter by touch and then click. Sometime you feel a keyboard would be so nice, however if one can ride this drawback, the Storm is great phone to have. Even the lack of WI-FI is not such a big problem.
Storm has got great looks with a full html browser and I really liked its clicktouch technology. Most people compare it with iPhone, but I say this is better than iPhone with its MMS capability whereas there's no MMS in iPhone. It comes bundled with a 1GB onboard memory where I can store all my important docs and much more.
