first...should i get one?
Don't you mean one plus one?
I wish Canadian carriers offered BOGO deals, especially since we get nickel and dimed to the max!
Ahh...tons of apps? How about 100,000 apps.
New OS? It's not even as good as first gen iphone more than two years ago.
Good luck. Here's hoping you don't make a second mistake.
Is it really so responsive that the keyboard will shift to landscape mode before the phone is fully turned?
no its not the responsive...its the same as the storm1 with 5.0 os
Even the storm one has no problem switching between landscape and portrait modes with OS 5.0
wuhuuuuuu, hardcore to see that verizon is bringing At&t into play - 5 times as fast as at&t haha. i never saw comparing adverts before ;)
Hey,
The commercial doesn't say 5 times as fast. It says 5 times the 3G coverage.
"Tons of apps"... yeah... ok. :rolleyes:
I don't think Verizon knows the definition of TONS. lol
False advertising to the fullest. "Tons of Apps"????
Yeah right, tons of crappy, overpriced terrible looking apps is more like it. Ultra responsive? Freakin retarded...
you know this to be false how?
blackberry app world doesnt have tons of apps and the portrait to landscape does not move that fast.
App World has plenty of apps; nothing misleading here.
I agree. And new apps are constantly coming out. Hot commercial.
I'll have you know, i picked up my storm2 this morning and it does switch from portrait to landscape that fast! its literally INSTANT! ask me to prove it!
Ok then please sit down and develop some nice looking apps!!
Just because he hasn't designed any apps doesn't mean he can't say the apps are crappy compared to what is available on other platforms. Especially when the commercial is making such claims.
the apps that are available for blackberry are a joke when compared to those that are available for the iPhone, also there is no way that the screen changes that fast though it does seem that the processor dominates the original
I dont know how it will perform in my hands but i gotta say that is the coolest commercial for a phone i have ever seen and now i want it bad!
Thats the job of advertisements... make a not so good product look cool. Don't get sucked in.
damn it looks soo good, they did a good job on this one, but im still going to get the 9700
Switchfoot! AWESOME!
They're really saying "tons of apps" -- after iTunes App Store just reached 100K apps?! The factual pros of the Storm2 are good enough.
No where in the 30 sec clip did they say "Tons more then the iPhone". As it is right now there is probably close to if not over 1000 apps in our app store. NO clearly that is not as many as the iPhone but no one claimed it was. They merely said a ton and that we do have.
My point is that RIM shouldn't have used a quantifying term regarding apps because Apple is unmatched there. A different approach would've been less likely to invite comparison. For example: Apple touts the iPhone's 3G network speed, but knows better than to draw attention to AT&T's inferior 3G coverage.
They did not say tons more than iphone just tons of apps.
True. I guess they have to use the buzzword that catches the most attention. It just doesn't seem smart for RIM to boast in an area where Apple dominates -- at least from a quantity standpoint.
"RIM" is not the one boasting that it has tons of apps, Verizon is. There are tons of apps available for BlackBerry. There aren't many available in App World but there are tons of apps out there. But I prefer quality of apps over quantity. Sure Apple has over 100000 apps but how many of those are fart apps or nonsense apps? A TON! I have all of the apps I need on my BlackBerry. Any current BB can run circles around the iPhone in almost all areas (everyone knows the browser isn't even close though hopefully it's much better with OS 5.0).
i want this background!!!!!
Even if the first half of the ad makes no sense at all...
ok it might not have as many apps as the iphone but how many of the iphone are duplicates if not more, how many does rim not allow because they don't want to, im sorry it is a great commercial it got your attention and it will stay in your head, its whole purpose....btw why not U2 as the music???
Probably because Bono was caught sporting a non-BlackBerry.
Does anyone know where to get that wallpaper on this storm ? would love to put in on my Storm1
Look on Crackberry/Downloads/Free Blackberry Wallpapers
I didn't know lightning struck once! Lol.
rim is really churning these blackberrys out before christmas...i went to the store...i tried the storm2 and i'm sticking with my storm1 for now...not a big difference from what i already have.
My favorite part is when they slam AT&T at the end :)
looks sick! i cant wait to get one... oh wait ;D
Actually, that's a pretty accurate representation of the switching from portrait to landscape. I did it with my phone (Storm 1 w/ 5.0.328 comparing it to the commercial, and it's pretty darned quick.
I'm happy to have OS 5.0 on my phone. Hope the OS 5.0 and Storm 2 redeems RIM's messups with the Storm 1
I have the Storm 1, but it is really hard to see me liking the STORM2 over the Droid. 11/6 I think I'll have the Droid... I think the timing of this release so close to the awesome looking Droid might hurt it somewhat ..
I never had the storm 1 and this is mu upgrade from a pearl and this phone is awesome. !!! i think the driod is ugly, this phone rocks. Now i need to buy cool stuff.
I agree; Droid is one ugly device! It looks like what a cellphone would have looked like in the 70s, had they existed.
Also, im skeptical of motorola phone's build quality
i kept hearing about how the droid would be much better so i googled it... wtf?? that is one ugly phone! looks like one of those LG phones with gay names...
May be ugly, but it trumps the storm in "EVERY" single way imaginable. In fact it trumps anything RIM has to offer...
If you want to get an Android phone you would really be better off getting something from HTC.
I agree 100%. I can't stand Motorola phones. Terrible quality in my opinion.
It's obvious that there aren't very many Motorola fans these days. They haven't had a hit since '04. However, read the reviews people. The Droid handset is hot! The build is solid. Oh, and it has a screen that blows away what 3GS.
Not to mention that the Droid is also the 1st phone to offer FREE TURN BY TURN NAV with street view & sat nav all the while including voice activation at the same time! There's no freebie app for that on I-Phone!
That's a great commercial...I'm quite impressed! Like drPheta I put my Storm 1 up to the video and my rotation speed was just about the same as the Storm in the commercial. And as far as apps go, "tons" is pretty generic, so there's no false advertising there either. As far as I'm concerned there really are "tons" of apps for the Storm. True there are technically more for the iPhone, but most of them are just 50 different variations of the same thing.
SWEET THE STORM2 IS FIANLLY HERE! Now when is the Storm3 coming out?!?!?!?
