So we have all seen those commercials about the hot new christmas present the Blackberry Storm right? It has that screen that you click, its the first touch screen blackberry, a 3.2 megapixel camera, comes with a 8GB chip that swaps out quite easily and did I mention it comes with the network built by that guy that traveled the entire country checking to see if people could hear him?
I stayed home from work today on a case of the mondays and got a call saying I had a box on my desk that said, Verizon. I live in Ventura County and for some reason there was a pretty gnarley storm going on. Sure enough, I drove to work to pick up my early Christmas present.
This is my first Blackberry and my friend Paul couldn’t have said it better, “It’ll change your life.” This phone is absolutely amazing. While I spent a fair amount of time comparing it to the iPhone and the G1, I was expecting it to be between the two. However, I think this phone is a perfect fit for myself putting it at the top of the list. There are a few reasons that really stand out though:
NO WIFI? WHAT’?
I read this in the reviews before I got the phone which was definitely a good thing because I was probably as shocked as you were when you first found out. While I would like to tap into the broadband I already pay for, the coverage and speed of Verizons network is not as bad as you may expect. I have had no problems with it.
Micro SD
I was impressed to see the phone comes with removeable memory. A gig onboard and a pre-loaded removeable 8GB MicroSD Card, not a bad step up from the 4gig I was using in my old phone.
I’ll write more tomorrow… its late. goodnight.
