Iphone is finally catching up :lol:

79CamaroDiva 03-27-2009 03:04 PM

i wouildnt say catching up so much as filling in the blanks. The iphone has a nicer interface, runs smoother, and has better browsing than BBStorm, there were just a few things that were over looked.

iphone has been out longer too and the bbstorm is getting its software corrected im sure the competition will be alot tighter once the bbstorm gets the kinks out...on the down side the bbstorm requires an exta 40 bucks ontop of what ever your normal minute plan is..only issue i have with the iphone is the carrier sucks

up til i got my iPhone in december, i was a devout verizon person. I had no problems with them whatsoever, and that was the ONLY thing keeping me with verizon when the iPhone came out. I decided to switch, and gotta say, i'm very happy with at&t. No more dropped calls than usual, possibly a little less, and I have service now where I used to not get any at all. definitely very happy.

Nicer, and Better are words used to describe opinion, not fact :lol: I hate typing on my Itouch, I'm sure it's no different than an Iphone in that aspect. Different strokes for different folks.

sure, nicer could be an opinion, but the browsing is faster, smoother, and it can open more than one page at a time.

i didnt even know there was a group of people stuck between the two. the bbstorm is horrible the whole clicking screen is stupid. everyone complains about att but i have never had a problem.

even if the iphones phone part sucked say like an old razr and it had the app store i would still get it the app store is amazing some of the things on there are crazy.

I assume you're talking about the Wifi connection. Sure it's faster when it's available. :lol: I haven't been able to use it on campus yet so it's pretty useless to me. Oh, and it doesn't support VPN but that's another issue.

But anyways, I didn't buy the phone for the internet browsing. When I needed it it worked flawlessly though.

I like the "stupid clicking screen". :shrug: I think Iphone/Itouch typing is a lot worse. Yes I have both, and use both on daily basis.

Ian 03-27-2009 05:37 PM

I happen to like the "stupid clicking screen" as well.

I agree that the Iphone/Itouch seem to operate a little smoother than the BBstorm and have a little more intuitive of an interface. I happen to like the BB better, its just preference.

phantoms 03-27-2009 05:37 PM

its cool and all but its weird lol

and yes the iphone typing is a pain in the ass but it will be a hell of alot better when we will have landscape keyboard for everything.

pretty much where ever i go i have 3G never had any issues edge was a different story lol. i have been to nawlins boston atl all were perfect but nawlins had the fastest 3g.

Typical Apple product, make something, claim it is best ever, then keep making patches and new versions until it meets the original claims. lol

BigAls87Z28 03-27-2009 06:53 PM

I like my click screen. The new betas for the storm seem to solve lagging problems and there is a different browser that is faster.

madness410 03-27-2009 08:54 PM

BigAls87Z28 03-27-2009 09:06 PM

If you were to say that to an Apple geek they'd probably try to cut you with their pocket protector, lol.

You can go to Where.com. When you click on the app, it opens up this new screen. Where can locate you, and give you local info on traffic, gas prices, news, yellow pages, local resturaunts, shopping, and a buch of other things.
