Blackberry Storm - Saxperience

Simo^p · 11th February 2009, 20:02

Anyone got one of these? Does anyone know of any cool gizmo's to make them better? lol

I got one yesterday to replace my N95. First impressions were the browser was terrible and the touch screen is weird, and imprecise. Once I figured how to turn the 'optimise webistes' off so pages displayed normally, the browser was much better

I have an Ipod Touch and really do prefer the browser and screen user interface on the Ipod, but I dont want one as my phone. lol

Email on the move is great (and much easier than with the nokia's, etc)... but the ipod does that well too.

Can someone tell me some extra goodies the Blackberry Storm has?? I have a further 12 days to get to like it, or trade it in for something else.

Simo

If you send it back does Graeme have to pay back his commission?

Simo^p · 11th February 2009, 20:09

lol - G aint high enough up the chain to earn commission

Wonder if you can install internet explorer or firefox.. that may make it cooler

*goes to look*

Does it have Windows OS? If so my default browser is Opera but also has Explorer.

Simo^p · 11th February 2009, 20:16

No, Blackberry have their own OS...

Searching around for proper browsers now

How you finding it Simo?

As said on Sunday, that screen really put me off to be honest but apart from that it looks quite nice. I heard battery life is poor on it, but I know it will too soon to tell...

Simo^p · 11th February 2009, 21:27

Reviews have said battery life ia about 3 days, but i charge up every night when I get in bed anyway.

Just read the real blackberry ap store gets launched in march??? bit ghey if true?

I have mixed feelings at the moment. Its kind of cool, but kind of weird. Problem is I really like Nokias. lol

Craig mentioned on Sunday about a new Nokia that come out with QWERTY keyboard, but I guess that would be too big?

Not sure of model number etc.

I'll ask around in work tommorow dude

Don't think there's much out for it though

How comes you dont want an iPhone yet you think its good at what it does?

Ferg · 11th February 2009, 23:55

Maybe worth waiting a month for the new Noka N97 ... Meant to be highly rated. Currently got a N95 and love the set up. I'll be changing up to the N97 for sure.

I have an iTouch.. getting an iPhone too would be a bit daft. I also think Id drop it in the plant and it would be dead quickly. lol Also cant be assed jailbreaking, etc as I dont want to leave Voda.

Not heard much abuot the N97 - I have an N95-8Gb and love it, but the N96 looks gash!!

Ferg · 12th February 2009, 20:53

Agreed the N96 is rubbish.

Big features of the N97 is touch screen, big internal memory and flipout keyboard ...
