Tomcat0403 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Anyone looking at getting one of these new Crackberrys? I want a smartphone and i think this is the perfect choice for me. It will basically replace my laptop in class. Take a look and let me know your opinions.http://estore.vzwshop.com/storm/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman88210 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 The new G1 from Google is so much more badass than anything (Iphone included) I have aactually considered switching to sprint for it.

natedogg624 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 i don't think the new storm is running smartphone hardware but more PDA hardware (software whatever)not that it changes your mind or anything. chris if you do get a smartphone i can show you some tricks and stuff, smartphones are all nearly identical anyways so what you can do with mine you can do with yours.but those same tricks and hacks also work with the PDA as well.

Harb67 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I loved the Storm and was going to get one once my current contract ran out until......I realized that it HAS NO GODDAMN WI-FI!How is that even remotely imaginable? 3g is SLOW. I don't give two shits about what the commercials say; 3g is slow. Yes, it's faster than other wireless data networks, but when you put it up against any normal 802.11b/g/n wi-fi, it is slow as hell. I want a phone that uses 3g as a backup when there is no wi-fi around. This is exactly why if I were to buy a smartphone, I'd go with the iPhone. As much as I hate apple and that smug douchebag Steve Jobs, I have to admit that the iPhone is still the only smartphone out there that does everything. The other phones are all missing features The G1 is the next best thing, but T-Mobile is terrible. Stick it on Verizon and I'll buy one on launch day, but until then...*tear*/rant(I discuss smartphones ALL THE TIME with my roommate beacause he is completely addicted to gadgets and tech toys. I've been bitching about the Storm for days ever since I found out about the wi-fi garbage) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kip Drordy Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 That one will be that much to existing customers. Subsidized pricing is for new activation only.Can't you renew your contract and get the sale price? I know I do that at T-mobile. Every two years I can renew and get a discounted phone. So that G1 would only be $180 for me now actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
