my Blackberry storm..with slugs..

A friend of mine got me this phone as a birthday present.


















The phone is great. I love the design. The phone does not feel all-plastic, as a matter of fact its quite heavy compared to the iPhone 3G. But little did I know that I'd be wishing he'd gotten me the iPhone after all.

Yes. The phone is great, if you re just in the advent of using a mobile phone..!!

These are the minus points I noticed while using the phone. First the Sluggish response to tapping. It's really slow, for crying out loud.!. Second, I can' get any memory card to be recognized. I'm an gadget geek, but using this phone and trying to get it to work as it should made look like an idiot. Third, the message tone. No matter how loud you set it to yell at you when you get a message, it just fails so miserably. Sometimes you'd hear it, but most of the time you wont. After a week of using and trying to get it to work and convince myself that its a great phone, I just gave up. Multimedia, is really important to me, I need to be able to take photos. play music and record audio with the phone.

For the it not being able to recognize an mmc card, that's a major setback. I'm not sure if it was factory defect or what. I thought it may just be the unit that's defective, so I went online to read in reviews about the Storm. Guess what?.. I'm so not alone. So I sold it.

Sa walay pag duha-duha, ako jud baligya.. wehehe.. I sold it and got myself an Nokia N82.. Now that's a great phone. with a 5mpx camera with Xenon flash and carl zeiss optics, what more could I ask for?.

  1. Wow, your friend is so cool for buying you a new Storm as your b-day gift! Congrats! But it's too bad that you had it replaced with another one. For business people, the Storm is a perfect fit for the job.
