 unsatisfaced August 9, 2010

Well, i purchased this item about a month and a half ago. At fist, I wanted to use it with my att company and it didnt work at all because Att doesnt offer this phone, but anyways, three days ago i came home ¨"Venezuela" for a family emergency, so i brough the phone with me to use while im down here, and now the phone is presenting problems with the battery, which i thought it was new, i guess not and the screen doesnt either, Im extremely disatisfaced with this phone and i want to get in contact with the company I bought it from because it isnt possible that in less than 2 months the phone is falling apart.
I am looking forward to hear back from you guys as soon as possible. Blackberry storm 9500
thanks

 Get the newer one. August 5, 2010

This phone really isn't what its hyped up to be. This phone really likes to freeze on you, or the touchscreen gets all messed up calibration wise. When it recovers from a freeze the calibration is all messed up, when i want to check my SMS (which is one of the little tabs at the bottom of the screen) it pushes the time button on top of the screen. And the touchscreen full keyboard txtin is pretty difficult, always hit a wrong letter when i txt. This alone is enough for me to hate it despite its PROS... for example, when u want to put a movie or what have you on it, it will automatically format to blackberry format which is awesome, the camera works great, great call reception and quality, IDK bout internet, im deployed and cell phone internet doesnt exist here. Other than that, if you want this go for it, but i'd get the new one
Decent, but prone to lock-ups, has silly default settings, and often a hassle August 4, 2010

The Storm looks awesome. It has a touch screen interface including a touch screen keyboard that appears when needed. That can be tricky to get used to but overall is a pretty snazzy feature. The phone has several apps preloaded, I was able to get it to work with Gmail without any real trouble, and the phone has some neat features that are pretty standard for quality smartphones.
Unfortunately, it has some serious cons. It doesn't offer ways to quickly and cleanly shut down programs which leads often to the phone locking up. You can't push one button to end a program, you have to click, scroll way down in a menu with several finger swipes, and then click close. Imagine clicking-scrolling a lot-and clicking again four times in a row just because you want to go from email to the web to a text message and back to a phone call. That's silly. But if you don't meticulously "close" programs, the phone slows to a crawl and/or crashes. Oh, and did I mention it often takes a few minutes to even turn on after a crash?
The phone also gets poor service in areas where other simpler phones get great service. I had trouble getting service all over NYC - seriously, a smartphone (on Verizon!) that has trouble in NYC? That's not good.
The phone also does strange things. If you try to send a text message or other message while you have no service the phone often fails to ever send the message at all, even if you have all your bars. I've literally watched it fail to send a simple text message for 10 minutes and then I copy and paste the unsent text into a new, fresh SMS and it immediately sends it with no difficulty. That means the phone is being stupid.
The Storm is a visually appealing phone with lots of cool features and a great touch screen. But if you want a smartphone that is reliable, efficient, and consistent then you've got a better chance of being struck by lightning than being happy with your Storm.
Great!!...Until you use it July 27, 2010

Attention New York, there is a severe storm warning for your area, please seek shelter immediately!
This is what I heard as I walked out of the store with my shiny new blackberry storm (the day it came out of course), and I once again was fooled by the weatherman in my head. Not only was there no storm, there was a heat wave that came directly from my face as it exploded in disgust at my new purchase.
I have had the storm for two years now, because thats how long Verizon makes you feel guilty about buying a load of crap before you can do it all over again. I am getting a the new Droid X next week, so I figured I might as well flatter you all with the truth on this device before I kick it to the curb to complain about the next one.
The Screen
OMG OMG OMG the screen is a button!!! Has anyone realized the reason that no other phone has this feature is because it is not necessary? The one good thing that came out of this is that they made the screen just small enough that all the special pocket lint I love to save can store itself between the edge of the screen and body of the phone for safe keeping. I bought toothpicks for the first time not to clean my teeth...but to clear out space in my phone in order to store newer lint.
Non-screen related buttons
So I was walking around a small store one day when I hear one of my favorite songs come on the radio. I am singing along walking up to the cash register and I say to the guy who is staring at me like I just swallowed a doorknob, "hey this is a great song, glad you guys play good music in your store". Well he politely turns to me and says "Hey Jacka$$, the music is playing from your pants". This is officially the only time in my life that my phone has actively embarrassed me. See there is a button at the top of the phone that mutes your music...well it also plays your music, and of course the one thing they made right on the phone is the crazy loud speaker, so I quickly learned to keep no music on my phone. Just to add to the story, I also couldn't turn the music off right away because the only other button on the top is a screen lock, which sometimes worked and sometimes didn't so you have to mess with it.
Front buttons
My phone has a collection of buttons...let me rephrase. My phone has a collection of buttons that no longer are part of the phone. The four buttons on the front of the phone are just placed well enough to rip off when you stick your phone in your pocket. They did fix this on the storm two, but that came out lets see....two months after the first failure? At least if I bought an Iphone they may have replaced it for falling apart, and I would have enjoyed watching steve jobs blame his customers again for them improperly using his crappy product.
Side buttons
"Say a command"...."say a command"....get used to it, the phone says it all the time. One of the side buttons brings up the voice calling feature, but only brings it up when I am a) In class, b) trying to impress a lady with my thoughts on the bubonic plague, or c) Trying to sleep off a long night. Luckily you can change the button to do something else, I choose nothing, as I did with the other three side buttons. One button repeatedly took pictures of the inside of my pockets...which is cool but everyone stopped "Liking" them on facebook after I posted the first 100. The other controls the volume...or changes the song, whichever you aren't trying to accomplish it will do for you.
OS
To first access the phone turn it on, and come back tomorrow when it has finished waking up. I clocked it, it takes 2 minutes for my computer to boot up, and 7 minutes for my blackberry, anyone else see an issue? I know that some people need to take it slow so they don't choke on any instant excitement, but I would rather take my chances. Once it is loaded and passed the "Security Test" that it always does, the phone turns on, and if you haven't broken the hardware yet you can begin playing with the OS. It is the basic blackberry os, nothing special, except this awesome new feature that if your hands are damp, or your sweating from blackberry induced phone frustration, when you go to choose a menu item...it decides that you must in fact be blind and that you really want the menu item on the other side of the screen. For me it seems to constantly choose the "network" option, I think this is RIM's way of telling you it is verizon's fault.
