Title: Got A New CrackBerry...
Post by: AuburnChopper 3.0 on February 18, 2009, 08:43:51 AM
Got the Storm yesterday.  Anyone else use, or have one of these?   Anything I should know or check out?  Besides a charging issue that I think I have resolved, it's a pretty nice upgrade at this point.

I haven't played with the Storm yet.  How are the apps compared to the iPhone?

What apps?  haha...   Seriously though....   iPhone is MUCH more established right now, but the blackberry seems to be picking up steam on that front.  It's kind of moving from snobby business to everyday user friendly more and more.   I actually considered doing the iPhone, but I didn't want to leave Verizon for AT&T service. 

I'm liking it so far though...

Not yet, but I heard you can get a free one with a second purchase at Payless Shoe Store, so that's good.   :vn:

I got the LG Incite. Gave it to the wife. I then got the LG Vu. I just needed a phone to talk with. She really has enjoyed to other features the Incite has. But  after not being able to quickly answer calls, I gave it up. I don't text (over 40 and all) so why do I need all of the other stuff?

Got my parents the new Razors. They work great for them. It rings, they open and answer. Anything more than that and they will be in a ditch.

Bingo.  Same reason for me getting the LG Dare instead of an iPhone...it's touch screen and has some apps available...although the iPhone is still cooler.  But you can't beat "The Network", bitches.

Fuck the network, it's over rated.  I just got rid of my Blackberry Curve (job change, and they took my damn phone) and am on the AT&T network.  I haven't purchased a new phone yet, but I am probably going with the iPhone.  So suck it, bitches.  Oh yeah, it is going to suck, having to pay my own cell/internet bill now.   :sad:

i've got the same phone for personal use.  i like it; though, touching the screen doesn't hold water to my itouch.

I own a touch as well.  The technology is light years ahead of the Dare's.  Pisses me off that Apple has to suck on the AT&T mushroom tip.

Agreed.  If the iPhone was at Verizon, I'd be toting one.  However, I'm getting used to the Storm and I'm starting to like it.  I'm not a games and goofy app guy though, so the Blackberry suits me.

I just decided today that I need to move on from my Q I've had for 4 years.

I think I'm gonna go iPhone.

Fucking AT&T and their monopoly...

Sprint's Data plan is $15/month vs. AT&T's $30 a month. That's TWICE as much...

Also, Sprint has 300 texts for $5 a month... AT&T's similar plan is only for 200 minutes. I average just under 300 a month, so that plan was pretty perfect for me. So I'm gonna have to upgrade to the $10 more plan to get 1500 (In other words I'll be using less than 20% of my allotted texts, but it's either that or pay even more for the 200 minute plan...).

So basically, my phone bill's gonna go up $25 a month to over $115 after taxes and stuff for basically the same service...

...but I get an iPhone...

I guess it's worth it...

Why would you pay Sprint $115 and accept limitations on your usage?  I've got the "Everything Plan": unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited data usage.  $99.00.

Reading comprehension...

He said his rate is going to go UP by $25 to a total of $115. Meaning his bill right now is $90.

Yes, I can see this now.

I got it on a whim Saturday, and I have like 6 pages worth of apps already.

I want to fuck my phone now.

Had an iPhone for about two years. 

Be prepared to carry a charger everywhere you go.  Be prepared for your phone to remain charged for about an hour and a half if you're actually doing anything with it, like using it or something. 

Seriously? Don't upgrade until June.  There is a new version of the phone coming out then according to what the daughter of a friend of mine says -- and she works for AT&T.

I know the feeling.  My wife gets pissed off at me because I can't sit next to her on the couch without playing with my phone.  I just tell her that she better hope they don't come out with an app that could fetch me a beer and cook a decent meal.

I've never had a problem with battery life.  I don't know if it's something they worked on for the 3G, but I charge it while I sleep and it's good for the entire day.

If I'm using anything that requires internet access -- texting, web-surfing, etc. -- the most I can expect it to last is about four hours.  If I don't do anything with it but let it sit there until I get a call it lasts all day.  But I've never had it last the entire day while being used.  Not even when it was brand new. 

As for the June release of the new phone?  Here's something I found online -- so it must be true.

I play with mysel...my IPhone almost all day, and it never has a battery problem.  I mean, If I leave it on for two days and do not charge it, then it will die.  It must have been an issue prior to the 3G.

Noob.  There is a buddy of mine who bought the original iPhone the day it was released.  Then, we they released the 3G version, our group of friends constantly told him that it is twice as fast and half the price...

That is only because we are assholes though...

I didn't buy it the first day.  I waited a while.  Like two or three days or something. 

I will be mocking you come June.
