Storm, Curve or Tour???????????????????

B

Just got a storm before I left MI for CA. I looked at the curve but like the bigger screen on the storm.
FYI - verizon $$$
Buy one get one
Storm=$49 after rebate with 8gig card
Curve=$49 no card
Tour=$233
I'd go storm again personally...using it on this post (broke down in Joplin Missouri)

I looked at them all when I began my search for the new phone and wound up with the Curve. I will stand by the toughness for sure as I've dropped more times than I like to admit and it still keeps on ticking. My buddy dropped his off his bike at 50 mph went back and it was in one piece and still uses it. I text a lot and the curve fitted my needs much better than a touch screen
I hope you enjoy yours just remember to close out applications or it will slow down your phone really bad

I have had a few Blackberries(8800,Pearl,Curve) Dont get one with the trackball in the center. Everyone I had went bad. I am currently on a Iphone and prefer it to the Blackberry anyday

My wife had a Curve for 2 years and she loved it.  Recently we both got the new Tour and we like it even better.  Considered the Storm but various user reviews mentioned it being too brittle (I am ROUGH on phones!) and the phone "resetting itself" all the time.  Although, the large screen and the various apps got great reviews.

Rumor has it a new, improved Storm is going to be released by the end of the year.  If you can wait, might be worth it.  Regardless, I have to say with my Tour I also picked up an Otter Box case, and it is outstanding.  Highly recommended.

Just picked up a Storm the other day.  Having data is new to me on a handheld (other than my IPod touch that required hotspot location).  Typing is a tad tricky but wanted the full screen.  It seems a bit slower running scripts and displaying websites...don't know if that's a function of the internal workings and processing speed or the network.  The salesman said the Tour was faster.  I'm liking this so far and will most likely be the ticket for the kind of communication I do.  If in the corporate setting, the Tour would most likely be necessary.
Contrary to popular belief, fact is not a matter of opinion.

Storm...like the size of the screen...but the typing is a little hard with big fingers...

I have a honest question.

How on earth do you actually type on those things?? I have big paws, but they are not Sasquatchesqe and yet a thumb would cover 1/4th of the keyboard. I have to be careful on the laptop for goodness sake. If they make the buttons on cell phones any smaller I will be dialing like Mr Ed with a pencil in my mouth.
However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.

Varmin you crack me up... i am laughing because I was needing to call hondadirect yesterday and I didn't have the number.  My buddy has one of those blackberries or one like it and he said... "here you go I have internet on here, just punch in what your needing".  Really?  well I was trying to use the nail on my finger to push those itty bitty button and of coarse I would hit the wrong one and then instead of back spacing I exited out of the application...   :tickedoff: :tickedoff:  doh!!!!  so I handed it back to my buddy and told him the site and then he gave me the number and it is now in my address book of MY phone!!!    :cooldude:

Them babies are just not for me... if they had a plug in full size keyboard and a mouse then i might entertain the thought but you won't see me owning one of those anytime soon!!!  No wonder folks are swerving all over the road texting... Hell you can't hit the right key without studying the keyboard to touch the little button... Scary riding next to someone texting!!!

Have a wonderful day everyone...  Raining here... :(

I went cheap so  could get the keyboard..  I got an LG VX11000 Digital. (LG EnV Touch) Only $400 retail. Since I already use Verizon I got it for $0 online.
It has so many apps I still havn't figured them all out 2 months later. But, it's fun.
And I can actually type on the inside keyboard.
Internet, email, maps(VZ Navigator), mobile im, games, removable sd mini card.
So far it does everything I  can imagine. Short of a pc and land phone and still fits in my pocket !
