CDMA2000, so it means 9530 can also work with Bell,rogers and fido

reading opinions on here, wtf do people have bb or any other data phone when they dont know how to use it. then they say this phone sucks, nothing works. well hey dummy go get a push and talk phone where its not that complicated. I bet most of the people with these phones are just posers,wanna be important status business crack dealers. alot of you have data or bb and cant afford the data package whats up with that. i cant figure it out

The iphone and bb are poor mans phones. wow its touch screen with wifi, big stinking deal. You want a real phone go to Japan were we are 10 steps ahead of the game. 3 year contract and all this data options and features are extra dam. you guys are getting ripped off. In japan i pay $15 for all that and i have unlimited data, Wow us is really taking advantage of you guys

> In reply to Vodaclone @ 2008-12-08 20:56 from m9Bg - click to readand there we hav it! The issue no alike thinking customer wants to admit to. The single largest reason for dissatisfyed consumers and wanting to return for not just the storm but a wide variety of handsets is.. they simply do not know how to use the device they were given. In their defense tho one could say that the user freindliness for a lot of handsets needs work, but i believe that technology is advancing at a rate at which stupid ppl cannot comprehend also. yes! the storm will send pics/ringtones via bt. I bet poor vodaclone has to deal with these ppl all day long. To u i send my condolences. Also yes, Wifi is relatively pointless whilst here in oz but the overseas travellers miss out.

I have just been to the bb storm launch in N.Z(where all our phones are unlocked) and blackberry have said they will continue upgrading the phone and will be 3 different models released over the next year or two.

Terrible phone. The floating screen feels like it will break, and the OS is trying to be like iPhone but failing so badly. And no WiFi? What were they thinking??
The only advantage of this phone will be your Blackberry email capability. Other than that, you're better off with an iPhone.

I actually work for one of the UKs biggest phone shops and have been advised we should be getting it after 3 months and it will be the unlocked version also so wait for that if you really want it instead of putting up with the locked software problems.
Vodafone have only signed a 3 months exclusivity deal with Blackberry and we have the codes up for the Storm already so should have after the new year
Probably on the usual networks ie o2, orange

The Omnia is very well built and has a host more features than the Storm, which if you look at it has the most appalling build quality. Check the dirt and moisture trap round the edge of the floating screen and the flimsy buttons at the bottom. How long do you think it will last. Vodafone UK have at least a 50% returns rate - that tells us a lot
