It is about time Verizon adds a "well built" touch screen phone to its lineup of phones. The Voyager was a pathetic attempt to compete with the iPhone. The Dare is a bit better but not quite there.
Rim will produce a quality product and it will draw in a lot of people.
Now if the Verizon Execs are reading this - they need to make sure they have ample of these phones in stock on day one and thereafter. I heard many complaints that when the Voyager was released, they had 3 of these phones in each store.
Can't sell 'em if you don't stock 'em. |

| The dual-headed launch of the Storm also explains the falling prices for the existing (especially CPO) BlackBerry 8803 (the Storm is also being launched across the Atlantic by VZW partner Vodaphone plc). The fact that it lacks Wifi is not a real issue (every VZW, or Vodaphone, BB already includes uncapped EVDO and a sync package for PCs). Throw in Rhapsody (the only real mobile competition to iTunes) and the Storm could indeed spell trouble for the iPhone monolith (especially if the Storm costs less). |

"The Unlimited plans cannot be used: (1) for any applications that tether the device to laptops, PCs, or other equipment for any purpose, (2) for uploading, downloading or streaming of movies, music or games, (3) with server devices or with host computer applications other than the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, including, without limitation, Web camera posts or broadcasts, continuous jpeg file transfers, automatic data feeds, telemetry applications, automated functions or any other machine-to-machine applications, (4) as substitute or backup for private lines or dedicated data connections"
I also found where you get charged 25¢ a minute for your "unlimited" usage. |
