Avenger Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 I have the Storm and am very happy with it...right no WIFI so your locked into getting the data plan. I think its like that on all Blackberrys. The Storms keypad takes some time to get used to but there are a ton of useful aps oout there and can customize the phone to suit your needs. As far as web browsing (moble browser) their are a few limitations but for normal use its not bad. Over all, i would highly recomend it to anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drumbtzz Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 i have alltel which now is on the verizion network and about 2 months ago i upgraded my lime moto q to the palm treo pro (its a little smaller, has a touchscreen and also wi-fi enabled)if you want to stick with verizion i would recommend getting the palm treo pro, but if you dont mind switching i would suggest going to spring for the palm pre, personal testing on that phone blows the iphone outta the water and the contracts are cheaper.also, i have my lime moto q still and it could be activated under alltel or verizion, i had it for about 4 months before getting another upgrade so its still in really good shape, im thinking about selling it for $100 if anyone is interested, ill throw in 3 ac chargers and 1 dc charger (the palm pro that i have now uses a different charging port than the moto q, so their basically sitting in my nightstand) just contact me for details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSVDon Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 ]I agree that the browser sucks. Can I use opera on my curve?You should be able to, use your phone's browser and go to operamini.com then download straight to the phone. I have it on my pearl and I hate the BB Browser after using the opera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drumbtzz Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 They don't have opera for the Storm....couldn't find it anywaya alternative to using the mobile ie is skyfire...it still drains the battery as much as ie but in my opinion if you have a touchscreen its better...opera isnt available for my palm treo pro so thats what im using Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 yea I need to stay with verizon they have the best service in my area and the only service in several other places I go regularly other wise Id prolly switch and get an Iphone but cant switch so thats why I want opinons on what vzw phone to get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
