Thought I would bump this thread even though it's been forever.  I just replaced my BB Storm because it's a pile of shit.  Anyone that had me on their BB Messenger should PM me for my new PIN.  I texted the people that were in my contacts, but there are other people that weren't in there.

Ohhhh that was you that messaged me.  I erased it because I thought it was some telemarketer or something cuz Ashley got a request from some random spanish dude tried to get her to accept him and it ended up being some kinda salesman. Text me again Tim...

Luckily I'm one of the few that havent had any issues and am still rockin the same one since December.

I'm quite the lover of my curve as well wish i had gotten that screen protector though..

Too bad I only have Macs.  I guess I'll have to just go to Verizon and make them do it.  If I accessed it correctly, I believe I have v4.7.0.75.

RIM is releasing a Mac version of Desktop Manager soon.  Not running a Windows VM?  Too bad you live so far away, I'd help you with the upgrade..

Actually I am right now.  I used the mac desktop manager, yet it doesn't work.  It could be the fact that I have a fucked up bb, or it could be the fact that the sw sucks.  I run windows on my mac for kpro, but that's the only function that it serves.

Oct 2 I can get a new BB. Thinking of going with the Storm. I've heard alot of good/bad things. What you guys think?


Now this is just me looking online, they might have different phones in the store.

[slipkord]

I saw that but it was $149, Storm was only $49.

They pulled the Mac version of the software..

For Verizon, I'd recommend the Tour; although they seem to have trackball problems.

If you're getting the Storm, you might as well wait and get the Storm 2.

I have the Bold right now, but I'm considering upgrading to either the Onyx/Bold 2 or the Storm 2.  There's supposed to be a newer version of the Tour coming out sooner than later also.  But the Storm 2 has an expected release date sometime in October.

I hate my Storm.  I would never get another one ever again.  The touch screen is cumbersome to use and it's just a bad phone.  I replaced my first one because the screen just went blank, my current one keeps giving me false SMS/e-mail alerts even though it's only like 3 weeks old.  Verizon will never admit that they're having problems, but just like with the Voyager I had, they will probably admit that after they stop selling it.  My friend loves his Curve though, and I would probably stay away from the Tour until they get the bugs worked out.  It seems that Verizon has a knack for releasing new phones before they're ready for the market and still don't have all the problems solved.

Sorry for the confusion.  I'm using pocket mac and it sucks balls.  I can't sync anything on this damn thing.

+1 for the Curve. I bought my wife a Curve and the thing doesn't die. I had a Pearl before my iPhone (which I probably mentioned before) and that thing would go through anything without a hitch. And Tim, I'm sorry you're having so many problems with the Storm and it seems to be something a lot of people experience. Matter of fact, my next door neighbor and his wife both have Storms and hate them. They are counting down the days until their contract is over to switch to At&t to get an iPhone.

I think it's the carrier more than the manufacturer.  From the response I got from BB when I spoke to their tech support, I guess Verizon SW fucks up their phones.  Those poor bastards are circling the bowl right now.  Best network my ass, those guys are have the same service as other carriers and their phones blow.  I tell every single Verizon employee (including my brother's wife) that I come in contact with that I hate the Storm and that all the phones they offer SUCK.  I'm going to wait until Verizon has the iPhone next summer, and if it's fucked up because of Verizon, I'm ditching them ASAP.

I've never been a fan of Verizon. There's a couple guys at my shop that switched over to ATT, and got iPhones to boot, and had massive complaints about Verizon's service and the phones. I also have beef with Verizon because we deal with them (the USCG) for the work phones and the circuits some of our equipment depends on. Whenever our equipment goes down, 9 times out of 10, its Verizon.

Just got the Curve, so I'll be dorking around with it later tonight and adding you guys back on BBM. Anyone that's not on my contacts list pm me for my PIN.  

So what cool things can you do with the Curve? My older BB I had was just a brick with numbers, it couldnt do much.

[timot_one]

Figured that I would mention that anyone that has me on their list, either ping me or PM me with your PIN again so I can add you to my newest phone.  In the past month or so, I've gone through 3 BB Storms and Verizon finally replaced it with the Tour.  I'm still getting used to it right now, but it is immensely better than the Storm.  I would recommend that anyone considering a Storm, walk away.  That phone SUCKS BALLS.
