Funny Things with the storm fourm

i find it ammusing how people who say they hate the storm constantly post things about how there phone is better or why ours sucks. but all im getting from it is people are scared/jelous that once another update gets released and fixes the few bugs left that there phone will fall behind in all aspects. so they come here and trash it to make it seem that there phone is better and the best part is. is a PHONE. like are these people so lacking of something that gives there life meaning that they depend on what there holding in their hand to define them...?

I agree 100%. It is a phone for crying out loud. Have you downloaded .83 yet? It really makes some significant improvements. Still not perfect but it's getting there. 😉

Good post. These forums are sometimes worse than discussing religion and politics 🤣

Heck is Obama is fighting to keep his Blackberry, I'll fight to the death to keep my Storm 🤣

Always entertaining for sure

I'll second that! Diamond! Dump the Treo and head for a real phone that doesn't use AAA batteries and can be picked up at any toy store near you 🤣 🤣 🤣

If nobody wants the phone why is it a lot of people seem to be very intrigued by it? Like you for instance you have quite a few posts. I thought you would be on Diamond Pro forum. I’m not on former forum spewing criticism on former phones or my colleague's phones.

You had a post a short time ago about your hands tiring. You either need to toughen up or stop reaching. Maybe when you develop stronger hands you’ll be ready to make the switch…hah?

People are intrigued because BB has been needing a touch screen for a long time. The first berry I had was returned for buyers remorse for the ppc6700 which has a touch screen. You are more then welcome to post whatever u like. I'm an open minded person if you have something you would like to say about the Touch Pro or Touch Diamond go ahead feel free to post it thats what forums are for. The screen in my opinion is terrible I think u missed the point of a touch screen its supposed to make things easier not require more work. Maybe when u come to your senses you will be smart enough to make the switch... 😎

jealous!!! You know it, you want it. It's gotta hurt knowing you have one of the worst Palms ever made. It's not too late to leave evil Sprint and their wicked ways 😲

The Touch Pro is actually sold out right now check sprint.com and has no where close to the amount of complaints, bad reviews, problems, software issues, and returns as the storm. 😉

Hey Verizon does too. Check out the link below:

Reads, "Due to high demand orders will ship by 12/23." I guess thats a good sign!

SOLD OUT STATUS IS ZIP CODE SPECIFIC.
TRANSLATION: HTC's distribution channels in the US are sub-par 🤣 🤣 🤣 😲

Taken from wmexperts.com:

One side note: it does seem pretty clear that the Verizon Touch Pro has 192mb of RAM, not the 128 listed on the specs page at Verizon. wmpoweruser brings the screenshot with the proof and it looks like TouchFlo 3D leaves a PALTRY 45mb of Program Memory free after a reset.

you have to be smart to use this phone, it has a big learning curve, however once learned the phone is wonderful. anyone who used it for only a day or two or less probably didnt like it at all, because they didnt know how to use it.

the more i use mine, the better it gets.

i think thats why diamond pro doesnt like it, he cant figure out how to use it.

Good point.

Verizon does offer free lessons @ their shops. It is very different from the other BBs. It took me a while to type productively however now I make very little mistakes.

If they did have the BOLD w/ the same hardware w/out the touch screen I think I would have gotten that device just b/c the qwerty keyboard though. But I am loving my Storm.

I dig the phone. It takes time to learn, but it is pretty sweet phone. people are too quick to conclusion when they don't understand or don't take the time to figure something out.

Bingo! Give that guy a cigar!
Must have patience with this phone, but the rewards of actually sitting down and learning to use it are well worth it.

Diamond has little knowledge of any phone that I have seen except for Treos. It's easy to say you have every phone on the planet on Phonescoop, but its a little tougher to prove your knowledge when asked in-depth questions...He is a die hard Sprint lover anyway 😳

Sorry guys but the Touch Pro has a much higher learning curve then the storm. Way higher! It has Windows Mobile and a host of other programs and apps the storm does not. The storm just does not impress me. BB OS for the most part is pretty user friendly in my opinion. The storm is a eye catcher but I see no reason why to get this phone over the Curve. Playing with the storm only made me appreciate my Touch Pro even more. 😎

Obviously you didn't read Robbieb's post very carefully. It bears repeating 😁

"i find it ammusing how people who say they hate the storm constantly post things about how there phone is better or why ours sucks. but all im getting from it is people are scared/jelous that once another update gets released and fixes the few bugs left that there phone will fall behind in all aspects. so they come here and trash it to make it seem that there phone is better and the best part is. is a PHONE. like are these people so lacking of something that gives there life meaning that they depend on what there holding in their hand to define them...?

like u said, you played with it. if you use it for 5 mins, or 'play with it' u wont like it, because u didnt learn it yet. dont see why to get it over the curve? lol. sorry buddy, i have both. its better then the curve, but u disagree because u dont understand how to use it.

thay dont call them 'crackberrys' for nothing.

wait dont u have almighty htc pos oh wait sorry i mean diamond. so who are u to say u dont know about a phone from only playing with it for 5 minutes? because clearly YOU someone with sprint has used the storm for more then 5 minutes at a store and then returned it and reopened ur account on sprint.... get a life if u dont like the phone go away who cares what u have to say ur like 12 and probly have a razor. dont define urself by what u have around you but what you choose to not have around you. in other words get a life and realise its a phone and u could be doing better things with ur life then say "NO MINES BETTER!!!"

diamond hes saying other people only use phones for 5 minutes so they have no idea but he isnt even on verizon/t-mobil/at&t he has sprint so there is not way he could have a functioning storm. he is a waste of time and i say people just ignore his posts from now on as if he werent there it will make this fourm much better.

I don't understand why this keeps happening. In the past I have come to phonescoop for help in making a decision about getting a new phone or to get help in a problem I am having with my current phone. I have a Blackberry Curve and was considering the Bold or the Storm for my next upgrade. This forum and the comments made about each phone helped me to decide which of these 2 to get (the Bold). What I don't like about this forum (or any other) are the pi**ing matches that develop over my phone is better than your phone, and the personal attacks that come with it. Who has the time for all this? I have started to just go to Crackberry.com, which seems to have less of this going on. A shame, since this was the first place I would visit to...

Almost every non-biased web site has given the storm a low rating. Several user on this very site including Eric Zeman the moderator gave this phone a poor review.

So many BB fan boi's out there would buy any POS BB sells regardless of quality and overall performance. They constantly try to sway new buyers to jump on the BB bandwagon.

Thats all I see in this forum. Verizon customers who had this phone and returned because they had a bad experience get fan boy feed back as soon as they post here. No matter how bad they tried to like this phone or wanted it to be a iphone killer they still get belittled and bombarded with comments. Like give the phone a chance or there will be updates or you don't know how to use it properly. Thats BS ...
