I have the storm. Considering iphone due to Verizon lack of support

myfortress

Well its been awhile since the release of .75. Why should I have to wait so long for a great working phone. It appears that Verizon could absolutely care less about supporting this phone with new updates, even though RIM has leaked several.

Bottom line: I don't want a phone that Verizon is looking the other way on.

Anybody out there that feels like me?

i understand what you mean, but i am very patient.. a few weeks ago, i actually thought of upgrading to one of the many leaked os but i have faith in verizon.. plus i like their coverage more than the other carriers.. if anything, ill give it till april before updating to one of the leaked os..

as long as your phone works and does everything you need it to do.. i say keep it.. but whatever your choice is, good luck

Who am I fooling? I can't use the iphone for the number of emails that I get. I'm stuck.

iphones aren't as great with emails as Blackberrys are.

Curves are rock solid phones. Shoud also be a 9600 series BB out by summer

tell you the truth, none of the builds have been a excellent choice... good but not solid... So, if you want them to pick a v. out of all the ones that have come, i would be secure in using .75 till all the kinks are worked out. (v.114, .109,.103,.99,.75,.65) i have used them all and the .75 is the most stable.

I disagree with you.

I had .75 upgraded to .109 (which was very rock solid) and now installed the hybrid OS .114. So far .114 has been very stable.

I have .132 I like it. Works well and I have has less problems than the previous version that I had which was .109. I had tons of problems with .75 I say forget Verizon who is useless and upgrade yourself its worth it.

Best thing I did with my storm was upgrading to a leaked OS.

To HawkeyeOC:

You seem to know more than anyone else on this forum -- so here are a few questions for the master:

1. When is Verizon coming out with the newest Verizon supported software upgrade? I'm sick and tired of 4.7.075.

2. Curves may be rock solid phones but I have 2 of them and their is audio problems. When I speak to people, they hear my words but my sound is muffled. Same issue on Storm but a little better. Blackberry don't seem to have crystal clear audio output. I think they are so busy trying to perfect their push e-mail that they forget and neglect to perfect their outgoing audio clarity issue. They need to remember that the Curve and Storm and all other Blackberrys are PHONES in addtion to doing other things.

3. Lo...

Your question is well stated. I considered the storm to be the everything phone over the iPhone. But I am getting tired of the performance issues and lack of updates which apparently RIM feels are nessesary but Verizon is late to the meeting.

And I am not going back to having the curve after having a media-centric phone.

honestly, i have had about all the updates for at least 2 weeks or more each. im running .109, and havent tried .114 yet. if you still have .65or .75, .99 is great, i think one of the better ones. there really werent many issues. .109 has a few issues. i use the phone to its fullest because of work, and maybe thats why i get the issues. i think the storm is worth it.i didnt like it on .75. my co-worker is still running .99 and has no issues.

Hi HawkeyeOC, my name is WFB415

I really lazy and don't want to pum through forums on other websites and including this one... please do me a favor while i eat these donuts and go to them and find how to fix my phone and then post it on here. also i would like to get your pin so we can have a long distance relationship over blackberry instant messaging.

If you don't like this there lil lady then do yourself a huge favor and learn how to educate yourself so you don't have someone like me giving you a hard time.

I still believe the storm has a better platform than the iphone for business centric users who want a sexy phone that they can recieve emails on.
Yet, the iphone in all of its splender is sexy as well with its media focus and email presense.
I MUST HAVE THEM BOTH! It'll be like dating Halle and Eva at the same time!

I think you hit the nail on the head here:
Storm has better business support, Iphone has better general consumer support.

If Halle and Eva came with both phones, I would have to have it all as well 🤤

The thing is, my new job gave me a free at&t phone and I want the storm and iphone. Storm for personal and iphone for, well, personal?

All and all, Verizon has the better network.

Right! lol. Why don't you just save all your apps that you download from the app store to your memory card so that your phone doesn't freeze up 3 time per day. Oh wait, you can't do that.
Try calling everywhere in the U.S. . .Oh wait, you can't because you have to do a battery pull first.
Try calling everywhere in the U.S. . . Oh wait, you need to upgrade to the next leaked OS because your phone froze during a text message.

This is fun, lol, there are short comings in both phones.
