Most of the reviews I see, people say the battery life is terrible. Most of the reviews are dated from a month after its release or just a couple weeks. Since its half a year later, has the battery life situation improved? Is the Seidio 2600mAh extended battery worth the investment?
Other questions…
-Does the click screen ever lose its functionality?
-How is the browser compared to safari?
-Any cool hacks or anything equivalent to an iphone being unlocked?
-Are there any good card games? I know it lacks 3D capabilities of the iphone but there still has to be some decent ones out there…
Ive also used the touch/click screen and I was actually quite happy with it. I know Ive always said the touch/iphone had the best screen, which it still does IMO, but that was before I used this phone. I think the screen is acceptable and very usable, although still just a bit inferior to the iphones. Reason Im buying it is to combine my ipod and cell into one device w/o leaving verizon. Ive seen a couple of the Storm vs 3G threads on here, but those are old and didnt cover some of the questions I had.
Isnt the cheapest for 3g 120 a month? Its 95 a month for verizon. Thats a huge factor. And I dont play tons of games. I just want some simple card games. The storm also has picture messaging and a better camera, swappable battery, micro sd support etc. I wasnt looking for advice on which phone to buy. Ive already decided in favor of the storm. I was just looking for advice on battery, decent apps, and how the browser compares to safaris since I didnt get to use an activated one.
i have the storm. its my second one in 3 months… the last one i had the screen kept freezing etc… i love the phone, the camera’s great(takes a bit to get use too), the internet is awesome, personally i think its a great phone… sometimes the texting gets old but other than that when its not freezing its great ha
I know about 20 people who have had this phone and hate it when they compare it directly to the iPhone.
It is a pretty cool phone if you are locked to Verizon and want a touch screen phone with the blackberry functionality but after June and the 3.0 update along with the rumors of up to 3 new iPhone models, you might seriously want to wait and check out them if you have the ability to switch to ATT.
