BlackBerry Storm: The Official iPhone Killer?

byjetbluefan1 Dec 26, 2008
50 Helpfuls 51 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 4 Comments
Pros Can acquire a taste for the non-traditional features, well-made and smart looking
Cons Some typing features could be made more user-friendly
Recommended it? Yes

I was one of Blackberry's first customers to order the new Blackberry Storm. This much-hyped phone has been the topic of conversation in the tech world for quite awhile now. Blackberry was officially going to roll out a phone completely different from its others - not just a touch screen, but a... Read full review »

Pros great browser
Cons terrible input; easily overloaded
Recommended it? No

I bought a Blackberry Storm and switched my cell service to Verizon a few months ago.

I was looking for improved browsing and phone service in an organizer phone. Right now, I'd give the browsing a strong plus, and Verizon's service has been reliable, but the rest of the phone has been... Read full review »

I refrained from writing this review for over 6 months because I truly wanted to love the Storm.  I've been a Blackberry user for over 5 years now thanks to my job.  I've had several versions of the device on different carriers.  The Storm is a definite improvement but it's not as good as some of...

Pros sleek, GPS enabled, good camera and video
Cons unreliable, had to replace twice in a years time
Recommended it? No

My seventeen year old son and I went into Verizon wireless to upgrade our phones. We have been Verizon customers for about nine years. I am the type of person that a phone is just that, a phone. I don’t need all the other fancy gadgets. I want a phone that if I have an emergency away from... Read full review »

I was so excited when I got the Blackberry Storm 9530 smart phone on the day it was released (November 21st, 2008).  I have since gotten three warranty replacements (with the same device of course) hoping to get a device that would work as it was advertised.

First time around it was the... Read full review »

Overview:
I’ve had the Blackberry Storm from Verizon Wireless for almost three weeks now.  So far I’m happy with it, but there are LOTS of little issues that could be better about it.

This is Blackberry and Verizon’s attempt to compete with AT&T’s iPhone.   Well… It’s definitely not the... Read full review »

The BlackBerry PIM
This is my first BlackBerry, and I have to admit that it took me a day or two to get used to the interface, which is different from the standard Verizon interface. Specifically, I had a hard time learning how to adjust the controls and maintain the contacts directory. The... Read full review »

In Summary: This is the worst smartphone I've used in a long time. It offers neither the exceptional reliability or strengths of a 'real' Blackberry nor the powerful platform of the iPhone. Since returning my unit, a software update has improved some of... Read full review »
