Berrylife

So I am currently running 2 BlackBerries, a storm 2 and bold 2!

Both are great phones, One is my main BlackBerry which I have bis on. It is a bit pointless to have it on both. I keep all my contacts and calender’s up to date using some of  Google’s applications which are made for the BlackBerry.
The best way for me to do that is to do a sim switch and update the BlackBerry which does not carry the bis account. You may think its a pain in the behind but this is only done once every so often, I do not have to do on a weekly basis unless I make some big changes on my phone.
Although I am loving the storm 2 their is a  few things which I find a little annoying, they are:

1. No keys, I’m getting good at the touch keypad and it is one of the better ones I have used. (don’t do apple before you say anything) However if you made a mistake it is a pain in the ass to get back to correct or edit as you have to be patient. To correct or edit on the 9700 using the touch pad is effortless.
2. Web pages, now the storm is better for this but its still a little frustrating when you try to edit address or selecting a link or section to type in and you blow the screen up so big a mole could see it from a distance!
3. Reset, you cant do a simple reset like you can on the 9700 (left shift, right alt and delete)   I had to install quick pull on the 9520.
4. Responsiveness, the storm 2 can slow down and when you trying to be quick you seem to take even longer and struggle to do simple things like unlock the phone. I unlock, lock, unlock, lock and impatience makes it harder as it slows pushing all your commands through. I even get it when typing sometimes, it has a delay on what you are writing.

Despite the problems the storm 2 has with the internet, it is still better then the standardnon touch BlackBerry browsers.

The Bottom line then is the storm 2 is a pain in the ass!

However there is something about it that still draws me to it, something pulling it apart from the other BlackBerrys, its cool cl-icky function when you press the screen, the gentle strokes you have to make to move up and down, the blue behind your finger when you press buttons, Its all so inviting.

lets not forget to mention not all applications will work on it because its a touch screen.

So now you know that the bold 2 is a better phone, this does not mean a storm 2 is no good! it is a lovely phone and despite all I have said the Storm 2 is Currently my main phone!

(but for how long???)
