Blackberry here I come!

CrazyKell · 06-25-2009, 12:17 PM

Just got approved for a Blackberry at work!

My choices are Curve, Storm, or Pearl.

I know I don't want the Pearl.

Opinions on Curve or STorm?

I'll need to look at documents from work quite often which is why I'm leaning toward the Storm and it's larger screen.

Can't wait for a new gadget!

Wait for the Tour, see how it is. I believe it comes out in July. It will have a touchscreen like the storm, but a fixed keyboard.

It wasn't because it's not out yet. If she can get the storm, her cell phone company will offer the tour.

Depends on if her company approves of brand new mobile devices, or if they have to qualify them first. Could be a bit of a wait for her.

Bell is getting it mid july, telus and rogers probably won't be too far behind.

CrazyKell · 06-25-2009, 12:32 PM

I won't be waiting for that one unless there's a really good reason for it.

This is so that I can be on call after hours and needs to be effective immediately rather than July. Besides, if Bell is getting it and Telus (the company we use) is even going to wait a month...it'll be a no go for me.

That being said....what do ya think?!

I think you should go to a local store that has the Storm and give the keyboard a try. If it works for you, I'd go with the Storm. With the direction mobile devices are heading - seems silly to limit yourself to a traditional BB. Bigger touch screens are the way to go.

go storm, stay the ef away from the curve. Shit memory + keyboard issues
