Over the last few months I've been toying with the idea of a new phone. I have the original iPhone and it's definitely an impressive piece of technology. However, when it comes time to do any big software updates my phone locks up and I end up at the Apple store (about 45 minutes away) for service. So, now i just don't do the updates. The basics of the phone work great; love the contacts, touch screen, graphics, etc. And, I love having the iPod right there. If I had to list some issues (other than the updating), I'd say the speaker phone is not loud enough, email doesn't support attachments & doesn't always 'download from server' which drives me crazy!
Anyway, after visiting the Blackberry booth at NAR I was convinced I wanted the Blackberry Storm. Currently an AT&T customer, I would have to switch to Verizon (that's the only carrier who offers the Storm). So I called AT&T to see how much it would cost to make the carrier change. YIKES! Since I'm in the middle of my sign-up term, it will cost me $175 to release from AT&T....plus, another $175 to take my daughter's phone to Verizon as well (if I wanted to). The lady asked me why I wanted to make the change - I was honest & told her I wanted the Storm. She had me to go this website (it's NOT an AT&T site); www.phonescoop.com . This is a GREAT site!!!
Just type in the name of the phone you're thinking about in the top right corner, then click 'Jump to Phone'. Under the photo of the phone, click 'Compare side-by-side'. You can enter several phones and compare their features. It's great! Bottom line, I found that the Blackberry Bold will be a better phone for me and I don't have to switch carriers! No touch screen though....
