ok so, now that iv determined that the iphone is just too complicated to get right now, its a toss up between the Storm and the Omnia, both offered by verizon. So which ones i better? lets here your input. Thanks! ---

the BB storm will not replace the music function of the ipod… so if that is your intention scrap that idea. However with that said, at&t and t-mo suck a fat cock in terms of service soooooooo I would never get an iphone. the BB storm will blow the doors off of the gay enV though. ---

well i retract part of my first statement… if you want it for portable music, yea itll hold plenty of music and play it. but you wont have the same type of support in regards to car docks, home docks etc. you’re correct on the service, you will only be going backwards in terms of coverage switching off of verizon in buffalo. ---

thats the biggest thing for me. i enjoy verizon and its network. I also pay like $40 a month, if that being that its a family plan. i just wire the money over to my moms bank account every month. i wouldnt mind having the phone under my name, but its not a huge deal to me. ---

yes, thats not a big deal, i can hold my own when it comes to the money side of it. im looing for the best way to go though. damn verizon has to be so greedy and not allow the iphone to work on their network. i bet they lost alot of customers due to the iphone being released. ---

LOL i just signed off a package for my brother that he delivered to my house and when he got here and opened it, it was his brand new BB STORM!!! what a dick, he didnt even tell me he bought one. after getting hands on with it, im pretty confident that ill buy it. especially since i have $100 off and its only around $100 to buy after that. ---

Here we go… Honestly, go to the stores and play with both. Some people can’t stand the iPhone interface and love the Storm. I personally have yet to see a interface that comes close to the iPhone and love it. ---

I personally have yet to see a interface that comes close to the iPhone and love it. trust me, my ipod touch is jailbroken and i use the shit out of it. i just used the blackberry and i know im not going to like the ability to not mod my phone cuz verizon locks them, but im sure ill get over it. if i keep my ipod and my phone i should be fine. all i use my phone for is txting and talking. also having my ipod doesnt kill the battery of my phone and vice versa. ---

is that nokia offered on verizons network? if not then its out of the question. the iphone would be the only phone to make me veer off of verizons network, other than that im good. ---
