I am a (former) Iphone user, but my company recently gave us company BlackBerry Curve's. I bought this Storm 2 to replace the company phone, and and am impressed. It's amazing how you forget what a grown up phone can do. The storm has lightning fast app launching, easily switches between apps, great camera and video camera, built in ability to operate all Office documents, and the ability to theme your phone. (without hacking or "jailbreaking") The clicking touch screen takes a little while to get used to, but it offers a wider selection option, such as hovering without selecting. It merges email, sms, facebook, twitter, etc, by contact and on a desktop function that is easy to navigate, and you can see everything for the contact in a timeline. The swift handling of email (especially MS exchange) is unmatched in any other phone, The design of the operating software is extremely intuitive, making composing, editing, attaching files to, and sending messages much easier and faster than other touch screen phones. There are also built in magnet sensors that recognize when you put the phone in it's holster, and adjust the sound and vibrate notification settings appropriately, while also putting the phone to sleep. It will also recognize when it's snapped into a navigation holder in a car, and automatically launch the nav software. The web browser on this phone is annoying and small, and apps like pandora and iheartradio do not stream well. The phone will never compete with the iphone in interface or range of applications, but I don't need that. I have a laptop with a wireless card and several computers at home and work. I can surf on those. The phone far surpasses the iphone in functionality when it comes to running multiple processes, intuitiveness, instant notification of email (not push every 5 min) and so on. If you need a great touch screen phone and you use your phone for business, this is the one, hands down. If you need your phone to surf the web and listen to the radio, it is not. As a side note, the phone will easily tether to a computer and operate as a modem, including thru Bluetooth.Read full review
By far the best phone I've ever handled. It's like a mini-computer! Gobs of memory in the core means it will last for years, and with an additional 16GB in the memory card, you can download to your heart's content. The wi-fi feature allows you to connect to the Internet even without a connection to a mobile network - great if you're out of your service region. Because the screen is "clickable", you know exactly when/what you've pressed. Moreover, when used in conjunction with cloud-based services like those provided by Storm Applied Technologies - www.stormat.ca - with this phone you can work 100% remotely, never go to your office again!
I like this phone because I like all BB Stom2 features. I like the wide-screen smart phones and touch-screen(sure press). But when I experience with the sure press, I found it a little hard to type with the screen keyboard because I have two big thumb... :) One thing that can make annoyed is that never set the screen password in Storm2. When you set the password, the screen will always locked. One time when I try to type the password, I can't type it because the cursor didn't move to the password box. Ooh...I got panic - what a poor sure-press. :D I can't reboot it by shortcut key. Finally I must do hard-reboot(open the back cover and pull out the battery power and then put it on again.) But overall, I like it and recommended for you.
I really like this phone even though I don't have the 3G capabilities because I unlocked it for Tmobile. The phone I had previously was a curve so the transition to another blackberry was easy. The touchscreen was pretty easy to get used to, I wasn't a real fast typer on my curve so I type about as fast as I do with the storm2. I use my phone as an mp3 player a lot and this is really good for that, also the speakers are very loud so if you want to use it as a radio you can. Some dislikes about the phone are: its only on verizon, the battery life is kinda low and the web browsing is kind of laggy (again I'm not on 3G). Another thing about the hardware is the mute/play button on the top, does not lock when the screen is locked, they way it sits in my pocket it got pressed by my belt and started playing music. Other than that, its a great phone.Read full review
When I received my package I was pretty excited, this was my 2nd blackberry and didn't disappoint me. The box came with everything the seller advertised at the action (3 batteries, USB cable, charger with around the world adapters, unlocked condition) and a leather glove to use as a holster. At first, it was very weird having to push the screen feeling a little click, but now it feels pretty natural. Texting on this phone is easier than other smartphones with touch screen. Media files are very well supported, and the browser works great. I loved the way how RIM decided to use the standard jacks for headphones, now I won't have to look for an adapter to use my phone as an MP3 player in my car. I disliked and loathed the very short demos of games that were downloadable once I installed the phone to my computer with the software that came in the box. Also, I wish I didn't need to wipe all data from the phone to stop receiving E-mails meant to be for the previous owner. Actually, the only real problem that the phone had was that I had to reconfigure the connection so I could use my SIM card on it (but hey, Verizon didn't block my phone so it really was unlocked). But let's get back to the good stuff. I love the wide variety of themes and apps that are downloadable for this thing. I recently downloaded a few and it was great using the WiFi to directly download OTA and installing without having to connect to the PC once more. I also tried the already installed app for viewing doc, ppt and xls files and I felt pretty cool with this stylish viewer. This phone is still lacking and alarm for the clock to wake up, but it can be arranged with the auto-on followed with a reminder at the desired our. Speaking of reminders, I loved how I can choose the frequency of reminders to be certain days of the week, something that was lacking on my 8100, had to put 5 different reminders on the calendar (one for each day of the week I needed to wake up early) and then set them to be weekly, so my congratulations for thinking to RIM about that. Something that improved was resolution of the camera, but unfortunately, nor did the quality of image. When looking at my photos from the 9550, they don;t seem too much different than the 8100, but it doesn't bother me too much. Video works pretty neat, really liked that camera. But I think the thing that I loved the most was the holster, comes with a sort of magnet that the phone can detect when it is put on and then it locks screen and turns of the lights. The phone can be configured to answer as soon as it's out of holster and that is awesome. I really loved this phone, it really is a nice investment and is a great improvement. Fast to load (compared to the 8100), wide variety of file support for media, smart touchscreen, texting's better than ever with truetype and lots of virtual keybords to choose from in case you're not into qwerty very much, fast navigation within phone menus and internet, fast on/off response from wifi and bluetooth, wide variety of apps and themes, stylish design, etc make enough to call this what the 9500 should have been at first: the best RIM BlackBerry ever, even better than the TorchRead full review
