blackberry storm vs iphone

NickT916 · 10-28-2008, 06:38 PM

ooo it has SMS and MMS and all this neato junk, and 3.2mp and stuff... iphone better step it up with their software upgrades, cuz i might have to go to storm purely for the SMS/MMS and the light indicator and 3.2mp, im tires of receiving these stupid links with funky passwords and log in IDs in order to view the pictures that people send me. i actually have to write that junk down then go to a site and type it all in... thats so stupid!! it might have been ok if you just click on the link and it takes you to the picture, but the password and log in junk, hecka annoying!!

not to mention the annoying pop up TXT messages, im tired of people reading and seeing what people txt me as soon as i get something, also its annoying when watching a video or browsing the internet, why the heck is apple being stupid about those things.

apple is gonna start loosing costumers soon if they dont step up!

It will also have the same horrible BB browser. You will also be stuck with the same BB OS with a very limited number of games and 3rd party apps. They can try and pretty it up with themes but the BB OS feels very outdated to me. I use a BB curve for work on a daily basis.

I don't understand people complaining about people reading their texts when they get sent.

Don't let people play with your phone. I would be pissed if they didn't pop up. It's a communications device, ffs.

I am looking forward to checking out the storm, but if it's subpar in how it pulls it off, I'll pass. More features doesn't always mean a better phone.

Sometimes its just nosey people watching you while you're using your phone, or if you're showing them something. Happens to me all the time. I too wish it worked how BlackBerry's work and it didn't pop up.

I have the 3G iphone and it should not have the word phone in the name. It's a great mini computer but the phone functions are the poorest I've seen in 15 years. A 2 way radio gets better call quality.

Nice first post, miloko. Welcome to the forum.

well as the date comes closer to release they'll be all kinds of iphone vs storms websites out. if the bb internet browser can come close to the iphone then jobs has to do some kind of software update. even if it's cut and paste!

When I had my BB, I never used the BB browser. I installed Opera Mini. It was much better.

The new BB Browser on my Curve that came in an OS update is actually pretty darn good. Major improvement compared to the old browser.
