Hum...widespread BB Storm hate? Blackberry itself wanting to release the phone under a different name because of its bad reputation? "Bad taste in the mouths of the cellphone buying public"? How bizzar...they just COULDN'T be talking about the Storm. NO WAY. TRAGIC! It's just TOO BAD though because with Verizons AMAZING service and FLAWLESS coverage its distressing to know that this PERFECT carrier has a phone that has such a bad reputation. Good thing that Verizon customers are intelligent and didn't get this phone the first time around.

"The name of the phone also is up in the air as the negative press and reviews that accompanied the release of the first Storm model might have left a bad taste in some of the mouths of the cellphone buying public. " I dont think that was part of what the Rim spokeman had said, that was an editorial comment by phonearena. All that thought and posting for nothing, its sad really. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You don't know really know though what the article is saying. So before you say its sad that he commented for no reason, make sure you know that the reason for the possible change of name could really be due to bad publicity. I'm not agreeing or disagree with heavybreathing, but why is Verizon fighting for the name Voyager 2?

Its all about marketing. I don’t think it would be a necessarily "bad" idea to change the name of the Storms successor. If you think about it how stupid was it for iPhone to rename their next phone iPhone "3G", the synonymously OBVIOUS current generation of wireless speed, could you imagine if the names of Verizon’s phones if WE did that...oh here’s the Voyager 3G, and the Dare 3G, and the Alias 3G...or for you old folks the Knack 3G with a slogan "You might be slow but your phone, aint". even if they don’t call it the Storm 2 everyone else will. We could call it the Blackberry Aneurism, and people would say, "yeah, its pretty much the storm 2 if you ask me"...So with that being said it cant really be good or bad whatever they name it, just don’t make it extremely obvious that your desperate for attention...

wow obsess much? BB Storm is exclusive to VZW, and that makes it a winner time and time again. No matter which version of the Storm gets released, the brand belongs to VZW here in the states. And I didnt see you spazzing out in the 3rd gen I Phone posts a couple days ago....seeing how apple has released their next gen once a year, is it acceptable for them to keep releasing a faulty product and try again next year, but no one else? Oh yeah .... I forgot.... you would not know anything about an ADVANCED device since you a BJ2 victim ( dont worry, there arent many out there that fell prey to such a trashy device ), so I guess your just bitter . BB Storm 1 2 and 3 for the win

Godfather...you are now crowned King Douchebag on phonearena with a land slid victory. I love how you clown his phone (BJ2) which was the highest rated smartphone of 2008. http://www.engadget.com/2008/1
2/18/samsung-blackjack-ii-tops-consumer-reports-list-of-best-smartph/ It is good to see RIM update the typing on the Storm since it was one of the biggest complaints. The Storm 2 should be a pretty good phone with most/all the bugs worked out and a few extra tweeks since it should have a leat .113 which fixes this massive list of bugs. http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/03/30/verizon-counting-on-build-113-for-its-next-storm-firmware- releas/

Don't agree. The BJ2 runs Windows...NO THANKS! Any device running a version of Windows Mobile = FAIL in my opinion. Consumer Reports doesn't get EVERYTHING right. I love how people quote Consumer Reports as being this all-knowing God-like magazine. A lot of their "research" includes getting surveys mailed back to them that they sent out. How can we be sure that it wasn't just more of a BJ2 population that responded to the mailed surveys?

You seem to make every excuse in the world why everything you say makes sense and why everyone who disagrees with you is a "loser". So now people who own the phone and rated the phone itself are wrong? How does this make sense?

And you seem to be in seventh grade where you obvioulsy can't read nor understand the concept of statistics. I'll let you re-read my original post to find your OWN flaw.

...no offense, but you sound like one of those political strategists trying to rebut a poll result...kinda funny. Btw 'Windows Mobile= FAIL' yet so many people continue to use devices with Win Mo on it, thats pretty contradictory, don't you think?
10. artz1986 posted on 08 Apr 2009, 13:59 0 0
..I dunno, just something about you that makes me wanna correct you, but I really don't think you know too much about statistics either, especially when it comes to polling. For one, if they do send out a survey by mail, they I doubt they'd go right at it and ask the 1,000,000 question, there is always other questions asked in a survey to make sure that the results don't sway more one way than the other, so the end result can be pretty close to accurate, aswell as keeping the margin or error down. They do take these things into consideration, especially when they have a business based on polling and such... man, I really don't think ppl use their heads..

Don't try to talk sense with him artz, not going to work. He needs to get a job with Fox News, he would fit perfect with them, you know...because obviously statistics lie and the only numbers that are correct are the ones that are in favor with Verizon.

Youlost...I don't agree that it's the best smartphone either and it was more a shot at GF because he is big on the JD Power awards or any survey that favors VZW (as are all VZW fansboys) but are quick to down play any which do not apply to them. Both survey cusotmers and get their options and post the results....that's it. It is hard to argue against numbers because numbers don't lie. If you ask anybody that has a device running Symbian they will tell you that RIM, WInMO, OS X, Linux, Palm OS or anything I forget all suck A$$ because of the 139 million smartphones shipped in 2008 almost 73 million (52% of the market) were running Symbian. Also way to pull at straws with your lame “How can we be sure that it wasn't just more of a BJ2 population that responded to the mailed surveys?" I can come right back and say "How can we be sure all of JD's surveys weren't to customers that live with a mile or two of a tower?" Answer....we can't! By the way, I've got a life and wish there were more hours in the day becasue I've got so much going on right now. Livin' life to the fullest and lovin' it!

As if you make SO much sense. All you do is come on to posts with BB or iphone in the heading and tell everyone how we're all a bunch of idiots (paraphrasing) for owning anything other than your precious BJ2. How are you any different than anyone else on here? Seems to me you're a GIANT hypocrite telling all of us off while being guilty of the same "infraction". At least my posts aren't full of self contradiction. And @ artz1986: You can count yourself naive to think surveys don't produce ANY kind of bias whatsoever.

Give me one example of where I say the Blackjack 2 is better than ANY phone on the market. And where have I EVER contradicted myself? I say good things about both the iphone and the BB storm. Where have I straight attacked either phones features besides the storm's wiggly screen? Oh wait, you can't.
20. YouLostTheGame posted on 08 Apr 2009, 22:26 0 0
Oh believe me, if I REALLY wanted to wade through all the previous articles, I could most certainly find where you have "straight attacked" the BB Storm. One in particular comes to mind when it was reported that version .113 was going to be the next "official" software upgrade, and you were the first one to post, and you said that the Storm's hardware was "still crap". But in the spirit of playing childish games, I'd like to know where you "say good things" about the BB Storm. And yes, you are in contradiction of yourself when you diss people for supporting their device and then follow the end of your posts with BJ2 FTW. LOL! You crack me up! Especially in a post where you challenge The Godfather to "prove" to all of us how he knows what he knows by challenging him to tell us all where he works! Since when did you start caring more about the "cyber-world" than the real one? How old are you really?

@Godfather... Did you not read what I posted about a week ago? You are an ignorant bastard. No offense, but really, get a life. BJ2 was an incredible successful phone, rated #1 Smartphone of 2008 by Consumer Reports. Stop spouting false info dude.

"Any device running a version of Windows Mobile = FAIL in my opinion."......... from Comment #7 READ....IN .... MY ..... O-PIN-ION......... A statement as such can either be OPINION or FACT. This is a matter of OPINION. Opinions are like butt-holes, everybody....well, you know the rest. WinMo has sold millions, as did Apple, Symbian, Blackberry, and Android. Hopefully WebOS will be as successful. I think it will............OPINION.
