My contract with tmobile ends pretty soon, for that I’m excited because now I am able to get a top of the line phone from any service provider i’d like.
The good, the bad, the ugly.
The Storm comes out next week, so i’ll be one of the first to have it, granted I decide this is what I want. The features are amazing just like those of the iPhone; high-resolution touch screen (480 x 360), GPS (you have to pay for separately), internet over the 3g network w/ (NO WiFi), blackberry enterprise email (must get the blackberry plan an addtnl $40/mth), click and press technology which claims to ensure more error proof typing, has expandable memory (8g, 16g, 32g) comes standard with 1g, windows live, yahoo, aol messenger are readily available pre-installed on the phone for you, 3.2mgpxl camera with auto-flash 2x zoom and auto focus, camera can also record video, video playback and access to watching videos on the web, and music playback just to list a few of it’s features.
Now it’s competition is the iPhone 3g, from apple that is only being sold by ATT stores. I’ve heard from users that the 3g network isn’t as reliable as they’d like it to be and not everywhere has WiFi. Now that the phone does have WiFi and the Storm doesn’t this means I wouldn’t have to pay extra for internet service if I’m going to get it free from WiFi. The Apple App store is an amazing addition to the phone and this makes sure that no iphone will ever be the same. The apps that are offered are free and some of them can be costly but they’re worth it. Zoom in to anything on any webpage you’d like, add bookmarks to frequently visited sites. There is unfortunately NO MMS messaging, which is a shame, but you can live without it. This device is bluetooth enabled, maps w/ gps, googlearth and the ability to see traffic. has stocks, weather, and notes. Calculator, rotate it 90 degrees for a scientific calculator. The iPhone’s plan is set to run about $70/mth. tough decision
We also have the iPod touch, that does everything the phone does w/out the phone part of it, like sending phone calls, sending and receiving MMS or SMS. But everything else is included all for 229 and no monthly fee, or annual contract.
HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM.
