Waited months to get one.........don't bother they are crap! Taking it back tomorrow.

whats a blackberry storm

New smoothy that's out...

Fat free?

Nope, massive in cholesterol as well... been a bit of a storm about it actually...

I agree!!!!!!!!

We will see a lot of them hit eBay soon. The feedback has been poor!

Do you want to elaborate.

Seems like an iphone copy to me.

What was crap about it?

Whats crap about it?

I got one and a blackberry pearl this week. Havent actually done anything yet except charge them and put them on my desk my husband seems to be enjoying the poker though.

We got them for the free email to email and text to text capability. I regularly have to email plans and images to him and so the larger screen seemed to be a good idea.

Also the GPS seemed ok.

Like I say, havent really done anything except unpack them and put them in the "when I go back to work" pile but woudl be interested in peoples thoughts

Wow you must have a penny or two to spare. I have recently been considering upgrading and one option is a BB with BT and wi-fi. I am looking at second-hand but ebay is the only source and could be risky. Then I looked at Vodafone's offering of $69/month for 24 months to get any one of Curve 8310, Pearl 8110 or Storm. Their plans alone are $69 so buying a used BB and joining a BB plan would leave me worse off. What deal did you get (if you don't mind me asking)?

I first registered an interest in the phone with vodafone, however they couldnt give me a release date. So then went to fones for you they said 3 weeks and "I'm going to be the first to get one" said the shop manager. I left them my details.
Anyway a week or two later I got one via the vodafone website. First impressions it looked ace. Then I switched it on.......
I found the keyboard very hard to use with the tiny letters I kept mis spelling words,
Then the battery.......full charge then flat by 1.00 pm? What's that all about?
No wi-fi facility this means you can't hook onto hotspots or wireless routers.
Signal....very poor.
Screen...very large but what's th point if you can't see because of the battery or signal.
Sound.... Very poor, like walkman speakers, no bass, tinny.
So that's basicly why it went back, I now use the more business like blackberry 9000 smart phone. Wi-fi able, push email (never miss home/work) emails, straight to phone, surround sound,HD screen (best on market imo) long battery life, full propper qwerty keyboard, brill signal, the list goes on.....(Like this post)
I passed the fones for you shop, god hope to strike me dead if this is not true....I nipped in to see how she got on with her storm, you guessed it, she sent hers back also!!!
I fell I am now qualified in blackberrys any questions feel free, yes I have written and posted this on my BB while in the canteen on site!

Surely you did some basic research before commiting?

Oh yes loads, I could live with out wifi if I couls get a gprs signal, but nothing? They made it out to be fantastic, sadly it was a let down so I returned it within the 14 day cooling off period. Imo the BB 9000 best on market. Any way got to get back to work, chat later.

Just one more question (sorry) who did you buy from (I like the idea of a 14-day cooling off period) and what monthly plan do you have?

Vodafone, business tariff. Full time internet BB's need it for push email.
As far as I know EVERY phone provider must give you 14 days to cool off, if you don't like it simply return within 14 days hassle free.
My tariff is 45 pounds a month, some would say expensive, it depends on your use. I use mine just as much as my laptop.and the internet is almost as fast, I have unlimited email, text,and landline calls ,also plus.750 voice minutes
