BlackBerry Storm: The Official iPhone Killer?

by jetbluefan1 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Dec 26 '08
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
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 ...

More like a tempest in a teapot

by Saxguy Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jul 03 '09
Pros: great browser
Cons: terrible input; easily overloaded
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 ...

Never buy first generation anything... period!

by vchand Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Sep 23 '09
Pros: First touch screen Blackberry.  Faster processing than other Blackberry devices at the time of release.
Cons: Buggy, laggy, slow, rusty, unsuuitable and premature operating system.  Not as advertised!  No Wi-Fi.
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 ...

Storm version 1.0 is more of a "sqaull".

by cspu, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 18 '09
Pros: Touch screen navigation (when its responsive).  Word Mole, Verizon Network
Cons: Touch screen navigation (when it lags).  Camera, weight (heavier than competition).  No WiFi
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 ...

RIM's iPhone killer not "The Perfect STORM"

by bigtruckseries Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 22 '08
Pros: A2DP, video capture, VZ Navigator, DATA tethering, good network, user replaceable battery, clicking screen.
Cons:  Firmware bugs, camera bugs, screen bugs and no WIFI.
Feels unfinished.

{{{{{{{{{{{{UPDATE:  NOVEMBER 30th 2008 -    RIM has released an update to the phone "Firmware 4.7.0.75 ".  Compared to the firmware version that shipped with the Storm during release, this firmware has patched numerous bugs ...

Detailed review of Blackberry Storm

by mike_sutton , Jan 07 '09
Pros: Email, Browser, removable memory card, ease of use
Cons: Poor battery life, doesn’t support Wifi, not many downloadable apps, poor desktop software interface.
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 ...

The Rise of the Storm

by uofogator , Jan 24 '09
Pros: Feature-rich; solidly built; vivid clickable touch-screen; great for email
Cons: No Wi-Fi; minor OS issues; lacking App store
OPENING COMMENTSLet’s Begin, shall we? I am going to state right up front that this review will NOT be based upon a side-by-side comparison of the iPhone versus the Storm! I know that everyone is caught up in the iPhone versus Storm ...

Not bad, but some work is needed

by yvonnel , Feb 28 '09
Pros: Large screen, Sure-Click screen, SureType keyboard, Java applications, BlackBerry OS
Cons: Keyboard sensitivity can't be adjusted. Poor battery life. Slow camera.
The BlackBerry PIMThis 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 ...

The Blackberry Storm blows.....

by cdlabs , Jan 22 '09
Pros: Solid hardware, Bright screen, Global capability
Cons: Horrendous software and UI, tedious text input, glitchy, slow
... and fails to knock anything over. 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 ...

Good...but not Great

by the_blake , Mar 06 '09
Pros: Touch Screen is fun, Web browser, 8 GB SD included
Cons: No WiFi, Short battery life, onscreen keyboard is error-prone, orientation confusion
The phone is very cool - but is very underwhelming.  I can't wait for the 2nd version to come out because if they can improve on a few things, this could be a great phone. For now, I wouldn't jump on this unless you are a Verizon customer who is ...

A Storm Review - one mans "personal" opinion

by metalmancpa , Nov 28 '08
Pros: Keeps the BlackBerry feel while adding a whole new experience
Cons: A longer learning curve than other cell phones
Before I dive into this review, I feel it's important for you to know where this reviewer is coming from.For one, I have always been a Verizon Wireless customer (pretty much since the "beginning" of cell phones). I have never had a problem with ...

This is a love-it-or-hate-it phone. Period.

by revelated , Feb 19 '09
Pros: New interface/OS styling, great at email, innovative screen
Cons: Older OS builds unreliable, text navigation somewhat difficult, seems hit-or-miss
I just so happen to love it. But that's because I'm open minded about these types of things. Was the thing overhyped? Probably. But so what? Methinks too many people get their hopes up and expect the world when they should understand by now that NO ...

Non-Technical Review of the Storm by Working Mom

by pamelaleigh , Jul 23 '09
Pros: Fast Intranet browsing, Excellent Email Interface
Cons: Not an I Phone, Awkward Touch Screen, Few Applications
I love new technology but am not very adept at reading and technical specs and understanding what is important to me.  I really wanted an I Phone, but for a variety of reasons and limited to a smart phone that can be used on the Verizon network. I ...
