And people have the audacity to say this can't/won't compete with the Iphone.... Yeah right...

GPS is open on the iPhone, you think Verizon will man up enough to leave it open on the Storm? Hummm, we'll see...

 
 
Posted by JRSCCivic98 Thursday, Oct 02, 2008 1218 days ago

Actually, let me rephrase that. Will RIM man up enough to NOT let Verizon cripple their handset?

 
 
Posted by Anonymous Friday, Oct 03, 2008 1218 days ago

Well If you have been paying attention to the leaks...you would already know that the Storm has GPS on its own and VZ Navigator as well. Verizon is opening up its network in December(appearently) to any phone that has Verizon capable specs but not locked down. So you're going to see them stop crippling their phones here soon. Verizon is really turning things around with their no contract...etc. I applaud them.

No offense, but I'll believe it when I see it. This and higher price are the two biggest gripes for VZW you'll see from people.

ummm if you will look at ATT and VZW prices they are identical! This price thing gets OLD... Check the facts before posting... Face it we should ALL be happy, we have two great phones to choose from: Storm and Iphone.

 
 
Posted by JRSCCivic98 Friday, Oct 03, 2008 1218 days ago

Who said I was comparing prices from Verizon with AT&T? I think you made what's called an assumption here, which obviously isn't correct. Point is, price is a bit high and with the introduction of the open network plans, the prices on that are expected to be higher due to the "open" policy.

The question begs to be asked - what song is that?

 
 
Posted by Anonymous Thursday, Oct 02, 2008 1219 days ago

I just opened Shazam on my iPhone and hit Tag and spit back that the song playing in the video is by Sam Sparro, the song is called Black And Gold, and the label is Modus Vivendi Music.

And if I want to, I can click and buy the song right now from iTunes.

Will the Storm be able to do that?

I'm sure... Then I can copy and paste the info into a MMS and send it to all my other Blackberry loving friends, who can open it instantaneously.

Verizon does the same thing...so yeah it will be able to. Not sure about Vodaphone.

Who cares? In fairness I am sure some people do. The only real concerns I have are how well does it handle typing (a blackberry that is hard to type on is as useless as a "boar pig with titties", and is the internet browsing any better/faster than my 8330? My 8830 handles e-mail and sms plenty good enough, better than my Mac or PC.

As far as the i-phone it's VERY cool, but as long as it's ATT only, the i-phone will remain a toy. I really do like my cellphone to get calls and hold them, in my neck of the woods ATT and Sprint are not reliable and don't even get me started on the pipsqeeks like t-mobile.

 
 
Posted by tech42er Friday, Oct 03, 2008 1218 days ago

I'm not sure about the typing, you'll have to ask crucial. but the browser will be the same kind the iphone has and the speed will be much higher (because it uses EVDO Rev A instead of EVDO Rev 0, like the Curve). That said, if you like qwerty keyboards, definitely stick with the Curve. It's a great BB!

If Shazam decides to create a third party app for the Storm (which I'm sure they will - just like they did for the iPhone), then yes, it will. I'd also like to see you download that song when not in range of wi-fi.

 
 
Posted by Rob B Thursday, Oct 02, 2008 1219 days ago

The majority of the phones on Verizon can do that with VCast Song ID... that's nothing remarkable... In fact, it's pretty ordinary with today's phones...

/Epic fail

 
 
Posted by Strhessed Thursday, Oct 02, 2008 1219 days ago

Well iDork, since the Storm will be V-Cast enabled which also contains Song ID, I don't think we will have any problems. And I'm pretty sure that V-Cast Song ID was around before the iJoke even came out, so put that in your iPipe and smoke it !!!

(Disclaimer - I realize that the iPhone is a good device, I just love to talk smack and get everyone all wound up ;)

 
 
Posted by Anonymous Friday, Oct 03, 2008 1218 days ago

I am as in love with this phone as anyone and think the iPhone can kiss my ***...but, I do think it's funny that this song was a free download on iTunes a couple of weeks ago. iPhone killer debuted with an iTunes free download. Yeah, that's funny.

 
 
Posted by ilikephonesthatwork Friday, Oct 03, 2008 1218 days ago

Will the iphone send that video with an MMS? Step out of the crystal house...

Probably, since Verizon has had a song identifier application available for well over a year. And it also allows you to download the full song, ringtone, or ringback tone if you choose.

Not sure of the artist but the the title is Black & Gold - great song, I hear it on XM ~ BPM 81 all the time

Just an fyi, BlackBerry's have software called Nobex that does the same thing. So, keep trying.

 
 
Posted by Anonymous Thursday, Oct 02, 2008 1219 days ago

From :00 to :35, the phone has 3 gray buttons on the bottom. Then from :45 and on, it looks like the one we have be seeing all along.

 
 
Posted by Anonymous Thursday, Oct 02, 2008 1219 days ago

EDIT: it changes at :27 and then changes back again at :45. Whats up with that?

 
 
Posted by Anonymous Thursday, Oct 02, 2008 1219 days ago

What are you talking about? Glare?

 
 
Posted by haticK Thursday, Oct 02, 2008 1219 days ago

theres definitely 4 through the whole video. maybe it just looks like 3 to you because of the glare.

 
 
Posted by tadashi123 Thursday, Oct 02, 2008 1219 days ago

This video literally gave me an erection... like, whoah

 
 
Posted by innerblitz Thursday, Oct 02, 2008 1219 days ago

It looked like at the very end of the video that someone was walking onto the stage, armed raised, holding a Storm. Wish we could have seen his demo as well...

 
 
Posted by Crucial_Xtreme Thursday, Oct 02, 2008 1219 days ago

Yes, thank you SOOO much!!! I googled the name and got it. Much thanks. :D

 
 
Posted by PuterDude Thursday, Oct 02, 2008 1219 days ago

The Storm is sweet! Can't wait, can't wait, CAN'T wait! Might convince my job to let me demo it for the good of the company!

 
 
Posted by aggie99 Thursday, Oct 02, 2008 1219 days ago

iPhone R.I.P.

I might just have to switch to Verizon for this phone.

Has anyone been able to figure out the icons for the "Socially Connected" animations? I can see what I think is MSN, AIM....?

 
 
Posted by Anonymous Thursday, Oct 02, 2008 1219 days ago

i think i saw facebook there aswell

 
 
Posted by Friday, Oct 03, 2008 1218 days ago

Don't have time to find the exact list, but look at the other Storm posts on this site. One post lists all the social apps & there are a lot of them. Many different IM options, social networking & photo sites.

 
 
Posted by mahen915 Thursday, Oct 02, 2008 1219 days ago

Is the guy getting ready to do a hands on demo of the phone? At the very end it looks as if he is holding up one of the Storms in his hand.

I wonder if the rest of this video might pop up later :/

 
 
Posted by Valace2 Thursday, Oct 02, 2008 1219 days ago

Wow that more than made up for that lousy talk up a Storm update. These Verizon cheer sessions really stink.

 
 
Posted by scottlucky13 Thursday, Oct 02, 2008 1219 days ago

Nice video! Thanks to the guy who posted it on youtube. Now if we could only see the rest of the presentation:(

 
 
Posted by Anonymous Thursday, Oct 02, 2008 1219 days ago

Looks good as usual but i'm tired of looking, I want to touch the damn thing already. If they are promoting like this the unit must be done, now they just have to make thousands of the units and sell them! My money's on first week of November

 
 
Posted by Anonymous Thursday, Oct 02, 2008 1219 days ago

I work for VZW and we were told that on october 29th and 30th RIM will be here w/ the storm to let us play w/it and have a "hands on " training ***** I CANT WAIT !!! ***
