Forget who he said they're made by/partnered withIm either going with the Samsun Omnia touchscreen smart phone or the Blackberry Storm.I have to have a touch screen and a full keyboard. I usually send/receive about 300 texts a day now.. Blackberry is nice but the Omnia has windows mobile & 5 MP camera and that is the route I was looking at going.

knodel Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 i have the blackberry storm i have the curve as a work phone but the ball kept messing up and then it gets very frustrating because you can't scroll up and down it the only option you have. so i took it back and got the samsung omnia had it for 1 day and took it back it sucked the keys are very small for my sausage fingers and it was slow and clustered so now i have the storm and i'm loving it and yeah you can sync it with the yahoo calendar. i went through and deleted the dumb apps on the storm and it moves a bit faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonzie Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 That Omnia sounds really sweet Kyle, but I don't need/can't justify something that high end $$ right now. Still need to check out that Howard siteI think I've seen Alltel commercials with the Delve on sale this past week. Like the fact that some of these phones can synch with Yahoo calendar. Looks like the Storm is exclusive to Verizon for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAMBUSA Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Went to get a Blackberry, decided against it because to get it to work is $30/month on top of the regular bill. I get full internet on my voyager for $10/month. Not worth the extra $$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f4isvt Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I have heard of alot of blackberrys with the track ball messing up my wife has done it 4 or 5 times. I am not a big fan of touch screen phones but I have oily greasy hands at work. I bought the pantech matrix and absolutly love it. They make one called the duo exact same phone but it has windows 6.1 or something like that on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonzie Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) i have the curve and love itHow long have you had it for, and have you had any issues with the mouse/ball? How does it do as a web browser? Do you know what your camera specs are?Thinkin' of adding the Motorola Q9 to the mix as well, & maybe even the Hint. Read decent things about both on Howard's last night, though I've tried to stay away from Motorola the last 5 years or so. Need to look more into the camera specsRead so-so reviews about the Delve last night. Kinda makin' me shy away from it now, even though Alltel's currently runnin' a $50 special on it Edited April 9, 2009 by Fonzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
