They call this phone “The Blackberry Storm,” but in my opinion, it should’ve been call The Blackberry Freeze. This phone is the biggest piece of shit I’ve ever owned and I’m surprised that I kept it for so long. I got this phone when it first came out one year ago and after the first week I knew I wasn’t going to like it.
First off all, it’s damn near impossible to type on. You’ll most definitely find yourself sending all types of bullshit messages to people. It’s no surprise to me that Blackberry made it point to show-off the spell check feature in the commercials. But, you know what…it still does absolutely no justice.
Secondly, good luck with answering a text message or email or even answering a call. When it comes down to phone calls, you’ll find yourself accidently hanging-up on people if you hold the phone to your ear. So, basically you have to teach yourself how to hold the phone about 3 inches away from your face and project your voice so people can hear you. WTF? And you’ll only get that far after you’ve waited about one minute for the phone to unfreeze. The same goes for text messages, BBM’s, etc.
Another flaw with the phone is the web browser. It’s ass compared to the iPhone or even the Blackberry Bold. Not only does it take forever for pages to load but you’ll find yourself constantly scrolling side to side to view the cotents of a page.
The only good thing about this phone is that it takes good pics. Then again, that’s why GOD invented the digital camera.
All said and done, do yourself a favor and get a iPhone or Blackberry Bold.
