Comments on: BlackBerry Storm appears on video, sucks*

Okay. I didnt get to see this video, but I just want to say this: People here are retards if they are seriously going to judge whether or not a phone is good by a short “review” (from what people are saying) by someone that wears something over his mouth.

Honestly. Go out and actually try out the phone for yourself. Go into a Verizon store and play around with it since they have the phones out on display for test use.

I hate the Apple fanboys and Verizon fanboys and T Mobile fanboys. They all think THEIR phone is the best and any other is shit. Grow up. Sure, the iPhone looks good, but I never used one. From what I remember, the only things that would make me buy the phone would be pinching fingers to enlarge pics, itunes, and customizable home screen. There may be more that I just cant remember at this time, but neither of those three things are deal breakers for me. If I want music on my phone, Ill use an SD card. Enlarging photos can occur on my current phone that I’ve had for 4-5 years (it’s pretty much the pre- EnV phone; same design, but came out before the EnV) by simply right buttoning and clicking an option to zoom in/out. Customizable home screen isn’t something that I worry about either.

So yes. The iPhone is good, but considering that the people WITH an iPhone or a Verizon phone or something are already on a network, chances are no matter what the other networks come out with, they won’t switch unless it is for a better service or something. I personally am happy with Verizon. I have had ZERO problems with them in the 5+ years I’ve been with them, so have no need to switch networks. The iPhone is nice, but I dont feel like switching networks just to get it when Verizon offers phones that look just as good for my own tastes. Sure, Verizon phones may lack in an area where iPhone surpasses, but the iPhone also lacks in areas as well.

So stop shitting on a phone based on a supposedly horrid review. I dont give a shit if you have an iPhone and think any other phone is shit, because it just shows how much of a moronic fanboy you are. You’re the type of people that are too stubborn to look at a phone on your own (i.e., not watching some bashing review someone decided to do for shits and giggles) and go, “Hmm. That’s actually a nice feature. If I were on that netword I’d probably buy it, but Im happy with my current network so there’s really no need to change. Does look like a nice phone, though, and I think it’ll be a good phone for people who want something like an iPhone without actually having to change services.”

Seriously. It’s THAT easy. Grow up, stop being stubborn, and give praise where it is deserved. Read RECENT reviews of the phone, go check it out at a store so you can play around with it. Don’t judge a phone by a review that was done with a supposedly early build (I say this since people are damning the phone back in Sept. on here, yet current reviews really don’t show much wrong with the phone) and by someone that doesn’t know the facts (if he really DID say the camera was only 2 megapixels when it is a whopping 3.2 in reality). Plus, for some reason, I just cant take a review seriously when the person doing the review calls himself ‘Ninja’ and wears something to cover his mouth. No need for gimmicks on reviews. Nobody with a bright mind cares about you pretending to be a ninja. Just give us a review, maybe an unbiased one if you’re capable of it.

Even if you compare the iPhone to any other touch screen, the outcome doesn’t matter. It’s all personal opinion. This is why I don’t let movie critics decide for me whether a movie is good or not. Every single movie critic may say Movie A is the worst ever, but I will still see it and be entertained. STOP LETTING REVIEWS DECIDE STUFF FOR YOU. LET YOURSELF MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND. Honest to God if he exists. Some people are so stupid when they fall in line with guys like the Ninja.

I think it looks cool but I would hate if it kept leaving my finger prints on the screen making it hard to see. So thats why I am getting the Blackberry Bold!

The Iphone already does this, what on earth are you talking about.. do you think people are going to put the phone to their ear sideways and expect to hear something? NO! the screen rotates back the second you answer a call.

The phone is only as good as the service its on. ATT has horrible service. Thats why I gave back the IPHONE and went back to Verizon. This BB looks like it has a lot of features and should run great with the BEST service available in Verizon. I will be picking up this phone as soon as it is made available. If Apple were smart they would open the phone to all carriers becuase ATT is not cutting it. I am not sure why all these IPHONE lovers are so happy with their poor service, I guess they are just happy with the games and music that it holds and not actually for the phone and internet coverage.

I was with Verizon back and forth for the past couple of years. And hands downs Verizon is the best out there. I switched last year to at&t to get the IPhone. What a mistake I made. I looked forward to seeing this new BB from Verizon. Finally they are getting a great looking phone. That was my only problem with Verizon. Finally the best will have the best.

Have been with verizon for 10 years, attempted to switch to ATT becuase of the IPHONE 3G. AFter a week returned the phone and went back to verizon wireless due to ATT horrible service. The down fall for such a good phone as the IPHONE is poor service through ATT. Give me a phone that is comparable to the IPHONE with actual service like the Verizon network and I’ll take it. My brother in law, who is an IPHONE lover, continues to use my cellphone when we are together becuase his All mighty I phone with all its capabilities forgets to have the feature that all regular cell phones have, SERVICE. I guess you can still listen to all the music that it can hold.

Looks like RIM is flexing their corporate muscles. The video is down off youtube.

I wonder why Yahoo hasnt fired this guy for breaking whatever NDA agreement they had with RIM. Then again maybe they’ll keep him around so they can sue him too!!!!

the only thing worse than this pre-realese software of the blackberry is the current iphone software man you dis this but when the iphone comes out. ooh you can listen to music on it, and get email even the internet and you can do it all for almost ten seconds before it crashes, the only thing that could make it better is if you could id don’t know GET A PHONE CALL. blackberry’s been doing all that for years!!!

i’m sure there is some sort of key sensitivity adjustment……

i hope it will be more graphically appealing.

the ninja’s voice is very irritating.

Nice work RIM.

I have an IPhone and if I could actually connect to a decent damn network it would be a great phone. Definitely picking up this BB when it arrives and dumping AT&T for good. AT&T sucks – 3G BS. Hardly better than EDGE on their infrastructure.

Well, I know BGR is always on top of it when it comes to phone info. Quoted often on CNBC as an insider of whats going on in the industry.

That being said, I can’t believe BlackBerry will allow its rep to be sullied by bringing out a weak product, especially its fist foray into the “touchscreen” market. No way! No How! Not to mention Verizon would have egg all over its face.

I think in a couple months everyone will be raving about the “Storm”. I respect BGR and definitely dead-on in this review, but probably an early edition of the phone which I believe will run much better. Gotta go with the Blackberry cred here. They won’t disappoint.

i had the pearl and the curve and was lookin to pick up the storm, but after hearing that you have to click on the screen..hate to add fuel to the fire but this does make me think twice about the iphone..at least for me, and i always told my friends how i will not surrender to apple..

I can’t believe you guys are ready to drink the Kool-ade because of a dork in a sweater. The product hasn’t been released yet.

I think that its going to be great! we now use a trackball that we manuver around and then click for an action that we want…..this will be the same thing but you will just drag your thumb or finger across where you want then press for clicking….its the same thing were doing now,but the next level up, plus people always complain about iphones that you accidently press something that you dont want, and that just makes people upset…so this “press for an action is great”

blackberry + bigger screen + easy nav = everything that we want !!!

Great Job

Cant wait!!

Problem with Blackberrys (RIM) is they really don’t seem to be reworking or improving the OS. They simply change the look with different themes & icons & occasionally add some functionality. The OS need completely redone from the ground up if they want to keep up the changing market. I love blackberrys but seems everything since the Pearl has been just “OK” which is disappointing. Lets hope the BOLD changes that because the thunder look like a steamy pile!

I think the Blackberry Storm has some potential. I do think it does need some work done though, which will hopefully happen before it’s release on Verizon later this year. The silver/chrome sides on all the Blackberry’s that are coming out make the Blackberry more sophisticated/futuristic looking. I’m loving the whole shiny black/silver theme they are going for. I remember reading an article about Mike Lazardis, the CEO of Blackberry, hiring watchmakers to design more sophisticated, beautiful Blackberry’s. I’m soooo in love with Blackberry’s!!!

THIS IS DEF AN OLD BUILD! Notice how the keyboard starts out one way, then changes to the “ugly” keyboard we’ve seen previously.

Good thing it’s only for Verizon.

1. So, Mr BrewNinja, aka Lee Almodovar, how’s the job search going?

2. Since this device is already in Vzw T.A., i find it hard to accept this is a recent version. Vzw is incredibly strict before accepting devices into T.A., and this babe-berry would not pass into that illustrious group
