I never had a dropped call on AT&T after having them for like 5 years, until I got an iPhone... then it all changed.Quote:

The battery life goes quickly when using apps or media, but I just use a car charger and a USB charger at work on my PC to keep it full. The GPS works better than my older magellen unit, and Sprint TV is good for boring periods at work. I installed a 4 gig card and that's good enough for music and some videos and data storage. The 2 meg camera seems pretty good but I don't use it that often.
Upgraded to a Blackberry 8310 Curve for AT&T Wireless from a Moto V3 razr w/ T-Mobile. Thank god T-Mobile got horrible service out in the East where I was stationed AT&T haven't had a problem even in multiple feet concrete barracks. T-Mobile is definitally a West Coast dominate provider ATM.
Love AT&T or Cingular or whatever else they decide to call themselves.
I've now had the new BlackBerry Storm for a week. I've gotta say that I LOVE this thing. It kicks the **** out of the iPhone. The screen on this is simply astounding. The 480 x 360 resolution demonstrates just how grainy the 320 X 240 iPhone resolution truly is.
The click screen is what really sets the storm apart. While I always wanted to like the iPhone, typing on it was a mess. The keys that enlarge when hoovered over were more frustrating in that you don't know if you hit them or not until the text displayed. The Storm takes care of this with a very satisfying "click" on every keystroke.
Media on the Storm is flawless. Video is gorgeous thanks to the utra-high definition screen. Music is good, though Verizon's Vcast service sucks. However, the 8gb micro-sd card make loading your own MP3's simple enough.
On the down side, there is a significant lag in many things - rotating the phone often leaves the screen lagging 4 to 5 seconds. Not a big deal, but it is annoying. Hopefully RIM will address this with a firmware update.
I also managed to crash the unit so hard that removing the battery was the only remedy. Of course this points out that unlike the iPhone, you CAN remove and replace the battery.
Why it's better than the iPhone;
Expandable memory. The Micro-SD format means that the 8gb card that comes with the unit can be upgraded to a 64 or 128gb card.
Removable battery. Having a spare charged battery for watching media on airplanes is basic - Apple screwed the pooch in that regard - Blackberry did it right.
Tactile Response - the click screen is simply brilliant - it makes the phone.
High Definition - the bright and bold screen shows the state of the art.
The iPhone is 340x480 not 340x240. That's 20 pixels difference from the Storm. If you want to see a REALLY nice screen, check out the HTC Touch HD. 800x480 on a device the size of the Storm/iPhone.

A couple of my buddies have the iPhone 3G and it looks really nice and the 3G definitely makes everything a breeze on the Internet, so smooth.
I have Sprint, but Sprint has too many restrictions. They do not allow you to modify your phone on your own they want you to pay for everything. But I have a good price and do not want to change.
Sprint/Sanyo Pro 200
Last 5 phones bought:
- Sony Ericsson W800i (2205)
- Nokia N95 (2007)
- iPhone 3G (2009)
- iPhone 3GS (2009)
- HTC Wildfire (2010, for the wife)
Nice to see you back, kid A! It has been awhile.
I tried to buy a Nokia N8, but the US introduction was delayed until the end of September.
I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S (AT&T) to replace a Nokia N97 Mini.
So far it is working well. I haven't encountered the infamous GPS issue.

Yes, I know. I'm an iPhone hooker :p. But all my old phones have gone down the chain. My 3G is in my sisters hands and my 3GS is being used by my girlfriend.
However, due to some screw up at ATT I can actually buy a Samsung Captivate/Galaxy S for the $199 promo price. Very odd considering I just recently bought my iPhone 4 in June. I'm going to look at the Captivate again once the GPS issue is resolved and it has Froyo available for it.
I got a 32GB iPhone 4. Messed up a 4.0.1 jailbreak and now on 4.0.2 official... :/ Waiting for a 4.0.2 jailbreak so I can try again.
AT&T will sell to anyone for $199. Walmart has them for $99 with a new account. They'll move stuff from your old account to the new one, gratis.Quote:
