BlackBerry Storm 2 Revealed By Verizon Wireless CEO
I saw a video of it.
I also wish this phone would be available on all carriers. Even after a reasonable exclusive time period.

Yes, but on the ATT network it would be like driving a Porche on a dirt road.
At least on AT&T's network I'd be able to get voice and data at the same time, or tether and talk at the same time, something VZW cannot do.

Yeah and you would be driving down that dirt road talking and surfing the web at the same time while taking out pieces of your windshield out of your face.
That was kinda funny.
ARR22 said:
Who cares if you can talk and surf at the same time its not like you will get enough 3g coverage to enjoy it.
This is where you failed. Since he mentioned it, he obviously cares. Why do people think they can win a argument with things like "Who cares?" "I don't want.." "Who really uses?" and so on and so on. You cant win like that. There will always be someone who cares, someone who would want, someone who does use and someone that will, blah blah blah, you get the poi...

I'll tell you what, smart phone owners "do care about", and that's good mobile broadband coverage, otherwise known as 3G. For an example Sprint has 4 times the 3G coverage then ATT, Verizon has 3 times the 3G coverage. That's pretty sad. The fact of the matter is that smart phone owners don't want to wait 3 minutes to load ESPN mobile. In my opinion if the person you are talking to does not deserve your abiding attention while you are chatting on your smart phone then maybe you shouldn't be talking with them anyways, and you should just continue on surfing the web on your limited network, not to mention the cost on ATT is outrageous OUCH!
The only people who bitch about coverage are rednecks wh...

I travel a lot so Verizon is my choice.
If I was solely deciding my carrier based upon where I lived it would be ATT as there is a tower a couple miles from my house and I get full signal with ATT in the house but only 2-3 bars with Verizion.

In my opinion
See, now things like that you can say. I want you to know that I was not anti- what you was saying just Anti- the way you was saying it.
I for one am a smartphone user who does care.

I am no fan of the original Storm but saw a video of the Storm2, and it is nice, very nice. I hope it as good as the video on crackberry.com

The hardware should be finally dialed in right on S2. The complaints about that have been addressed (gaps, dead clicking in the corners, loose bottom keys, better battery door access)
Internal memory has been doubled and the SD card is also doubled to 16gb.
OS has had a year to mature some. The 5.0 OS's are much better than the 4.7 ones in terms of performance.
Plus wifi (mandated by VZW on new smartphones from now on anyway) to satisfy th...

The Storm 1 can be unlocked to work on AT&T or T-Mobile (perhaps any GSM carrier).
I was looking forward to the 1st Storm long before release. Sadly, after playing with 4 completly different Storms I realized it was a better Idea then a actually product.
All 4 had serious lag issues. One of them in particular had a lag issue offline. You could press the Contacts icon and actually watch your contacts list load. Imagine you want to call a friend name Zaid. You could find yourself watching every contact before him load. Starting with A's.... lol.
Anyway, I have been seriously hoping...
