  • needcaffeine · 1 year ago
    what were your thoughts, about typing on it? Is it as bad as the iPhone?
  • Danny boy · 1 year ago
    I hope its between the 7th and the 11th but it looks like its pushing more to the 15th or 16th. Hope they have alot of them !!!

    I'm a guy with big fingers and even though i didn't have much trouble with the iPhone the Storm comes out stronger with it's larger keys. So the one thing you'll have to ask yourself is 1) Have you tried SureType and like it? 2) Are you comfortable enough to tap on a flat screen.

    BAH. Why is Rogers always the SLOWEST!!! Won't even be getting the 9500 til Q2 2009!

    I have tried the simulator and it is way cool. This helped me understand how the Blackberry Storm will work. I have read post about it being $199.00, $99.00 and even maybe free with a 2 year contract. I just hope it is not more then $199.00

    Wondering if you can put your own full movies on it like I do on my Ipod. I know with a 18GB SD card it won't hold alot but it would be nice.

    Heard from a Best Buy employee that the Storm has been delayed and not coming out until December but definitely before X-mas.
  • Tina O · 1 year ago
    SO can anyone know an estimated price range for the Storm? I've heard/read anywhere from $350 - $600. Is this accurate?

    @Tina O

    Hey there! We just posted today on some possible pricing information. At Verizon, you could be looking at as low as $220 on a two year contract. No word yet on pricing information for Telus or Bell.

    Ok, thanks. I've read several articles and reviews abt the Storm and most of them mention you will recieve message alerts from Facebook sent directly to the Storm but I havent heard anything about MySpace. Do u know the Storm will recieve message alerts from your MySpace acct?

    The BlackBerry Storm will launch with the BlackBerry Facebook application, which will essentially let you use your Facebook account on your BlackBerry (with a few limitations). You can learn more about that here:
