| Nice try RIM
The concept was good but the final result = FAIL.
Think of it as an iPhone that tried to hard and fell short in almost every detail as a result. No, an iPhone killer this is not and i have a hard time ever seeing it become one in the future.

Clearly Verizon is following GM's playbook. Consistently stay behind the curve in phones, take a good phone and rip out features it makes good in order to make a buck, etc etc etc.
Taking out wifi is so stupid. They just forced unnecessary traffic onto their network. These phones come with data plans as part of the package. I guess they're praying they go over that 5g limit so they can charge a dollar a kilobyte overage. |

1 edit | said by schmol :probably not, more likely just basing his thoughts on other peoples opinions as they have tunnel vision to the iphone... Yup....the majority of people have not tried/tested it, or even considered the features it has that the iPhone does not (user replaceable battery and microSD slot). These are "must haves" for some of us. I sure as hell do not want to buy a new phone each time I need more memory, lol 
I like it, and that is speaking from experience (testing the Storm) as VZW came to my company with it yesterday to test out and try.........  |
