V8 Beast Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 There was a lot of time and energy spent on the Storm and this thing slid in unnoticed..

It’s also part entertainment manager with a 5MP camera, a music player with FM radio and much more, all wrapped up in one sleek phone. It even has 8GB of internal memory available and support for up to a 16GB microSD™ card. VZ Navigatorsm, VZAppZonesm and BroadbandAccess Connect round out the impressive list of services.

Its fast, responsive, and I couldnt pin point any real flaws. It also cost the same price as the storm but in my opinion is better. The optical mouse is great, and it goes into privacy mode just by turning it face down. If you were about to get a storm go to the store and check this out first... For $200 its worth every penny. I'm ordering one for my business line next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Cool, but I'd never buy a Samsung phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Cool, so how hard is it for the ignorant basic cell phone user to figure out and move up to a real mobile device? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragknee66 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I would have bought that if It had a keyboard. I like my new touch pro though Minus the fact that Vzw made some seriously STUPID changes to it that every other cell company did not. I dont know why Vzw has there way with phones, why the F cant they just leave them alone? Why so many damned changes? Its kinda funny though... they come all locked down and a week after they hit the market theres unlockers and roms all over the internet for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Cool, but I'd never buy a Samsung phone. Thats the exact same thing I said. My co-worker dragged me over and I stood there for like an hour in amazement. If you are driving by a store check it out. Scott, if you dont need it for coorporate email, editing documents, etc then I would not suggest this. You have to add an unlimited broadband package on with it. You can get a normal phone and get unlimited internet for half the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point almost everything is unlimited anyway so why even do it???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Interested, but waiting to see what the hacking community comes up with. Once I can get unlocked hardware gps, and some lightweight custom images I'll be in. I'll miss the hardware keyboard though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragknee66 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 ^ they unlocked the Touch Pro and some are using the GPS now.. Again.. just another BS service they want money for. Maybe if Vzw wouldnt lock the SHIT out of their phones.. more people would buy new phones more often and renew contracts instead of going to other carries that offer more 'freedom'. I dont even work for Vzw and I can see that! Cell phones cause people to leave... or come to networks. PERIOD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
