This phone is a dream!

I got it for xmas and don't think I will ever get sick of it.

With the new update to it's firmware, this phone works wonders!

Ignore all of the bad comments, this is a must, the best smart-phone out!

It will be important to have a stylus as that will help CEO's and the likes of us to jot down notes in our own handwriting.... we still use sharpened pencils you see.

you'll be stuck with 2g/2.5g function.

Hi every one. I have a Blackberry Storm 9500. I live in Republic of Georgia (Caucasus). I unlocked my blackberry and I can call and send sms, also to conect via bluetooth to other devices also to access GPRS. But I can not use Internet Browser in my country,3G functions. Can you tell me how I can use 3G functions in my phone?
Thanks,
George

As for this whole touch screen thing iphone isn't the first phone to have touch screen. In 1971, the first "touch sensor" was developed by Doctor Sam Hurst (founder of Elographics. In 1974, the first true touch screen incorporating a transparent surface came on the scene developed by Sam Hurst and Elographics (officially changed its name from Elographics to Elo TouchSystems). So in the 29 years or so where the Iphone was then developed there was for sure a touch screen phone but the US doesn't import many new technologies as fast as one believes. There are phones that have surpassed most of the phones in the US by many many years.

I do not see an advantage of this over Iphone or Other Touch screen phone like Omnia? This phone even missing Wi-Fi and size even bigger than other Touch screen phones. Biggest problem with this phone is size and no wi-fi.

what i discovery ever since i found this site is that most commentator are very critical of all design. so many of them are so intelligent that common dummies phone they cannot produce. what rim introduce into touchsreen cannot be found on any one that has existed before. i have use all kinds of PDA:HTC, BB from 8300 to storm. storm is a great improvment. with storm you can highlight many messagesand delete at once. Bold can do that. typing on storm is very easy.

If anyone saw The Gadget show on Channel 4(UK) tonight, the storm failed miserably and got a two G rating and came last out of four phones tested - the others being the Touch HD, the iPhone, and the G1 running Android. Another nail.

The IPhone was the first thing ever to use touch screen...everything else MUST be trying to copy that, duh. /endsarcasm
Apple is crap. Not everything wants to be like Apple.

And in other news...if you're having problems with the Storm, make sure you get their update for it. It makes it run much better.

wtf is wrong with you people!!! if you dont have the phone dont comment cause clearly you arent going to know jack Sh*t! yes you can send and pics and custom ringtones just read your instruction booklet if you are clearly too stupid to figure it out yourself!!!! and who cares if its a lil slow its still a good phone, just because it is a touch screen does not mean its an iphone wannabe, it is absolutely nothing like the iphone and from personal experience THAT IS AN EXTREMLY GOOD THING!!!
