Verizon BlackBerry Storm Return Rate
Here’s the skinny on this situation… We had heard various return rates on the Verizon BlackBerry Storm from three (actually four, but we’ll discount the last one) extremely credible sources of ours. These ranged from 35-50% in some markets/regions. That is an absurdly high figure, folks. While we trust our sources, we wanted to continue to dig until we wrote up a post on it here. We let a publication quote us on that, because that is what we had heard. No harm, no foul. But we weren’t going to post on it here until we had 100% confirmed it.
Verizon Wireless hit us up and here’s what a Verizon Wireless official had to say: “The Storm has the lowest return rate of any of our PDAs and at this point in its life cycle, it has the lowest return rate of any PDA we currently sell.”
We’ll let you guys do all the talking. Own a Storm? Happy with it? Returned it? Know friends that are happy/returned theirs? Hit us up so we can get some good feedback and your thoughts on this.
Good one but fucking feachers!!
I absolutely HATE this phone and cannot wait until November 30th comes and I can upgrade. It’s lousy. Verizon should be offering rebates on anyone who purchased this piece of shart.
I am working on my 3rd return. This phone gets terrible and unpredictable reception.
This is my 2nd one. The first one has the same problems that I am having with this one, but the first one’s screen went black, so I returned it. I can honestly say that I took good care of that phone, so the screen problem was not a damage problem. This phone, as the first has several problems. One being that when it is plugged in for a charge at night, you cannot mess with it. Once you try to do something, it locks up, and you have to pull the battery.Another problem is if your a fast typer, it locks up and sometimes will come back, but sometimes you have to pull the battery. Another problem is that you have to make sure you close everything properly(facebook,internet,game,etc) other wise it will be as slow as a snail, and even then sometimes you have to pul the battery. But, my main problem is talking on the phone. I have some sort of a deep voice, not the deepest, but a little bassy, and people just cannot understand what i am saying most of the time. I really tried to like this phone. When they gave me a new one, I tried harder, figuring it was new and faster and had a new OS, but after a week or 2 it was back to its same old tricks. I hope this storm2 they came out with is better, I will never take the chance of getting robbed twice by the same phone, so I wont buy it, but for other peoples sake, I hope it is much better. I am surprised that there isnt a some sort of program that you can trade this in for another blackberry or womething, since I see so many complaints on this phone. If anyone knows of one, please contact me at kaptm0rgin@aol.com. The 0 is a zero in my email.
