A couple of major problems spoil this phone

Michelle Renwick Wilson ( about 1 year ago )

6/10

If this phone would just do as it's supposed to do, it would be great! But the screen freezes all them time! Someone said I have too much stuff on it, but isn't that what these phones are designed to do?

Also the camera. When you click to take a photo, it lags before the photo is captured.... More

Pure garbage

This phone was clearly rushed to market to compete with iPhone. Less than 1 year is the life span of mine...and I understand that is well above average.

I generally am a big fan of Blackberry, but this one was horrible. The hardware is very poor (particularly the touch screen which deteriorated rapidly... More

The Blackberry Storm 2 sets the standard for wireless phones

Anonymous from Amazon ( over 2 years ago )

10/10

The Blackberry Storm 2 is by far the best wireless phone I have ever used or owned and it puts Apple's iphone to shame. I especially like the "controlled" scrolling on it that stops when you stop scrolling so you don't over scroll past what you are looking for and it's extremely... More

DO NOT BUY!!!

What a crappy phone. I bought one when they first came out.(9530) I'm on my fourth one. Constant troubles. I'm not even trying to run any more apps than the phone comes with. Sometimes it will lagg so that I cannot answer the phone when I get a call... sometimes it will not ring. My phone is... More

#1 worst way to waste your money.

2/10

This is, hands down, the absolute worst cell phone I've ever had. It stalls and freezes during about 50% of the phone calls I receive or make. Although this is a blackberry and thus capable of receiving push notifications, you won't recieve the emails in a timely manner because the phone freezes... More

Worst phone Ive ever owned.

2/10

Nice try, RIM.

So much to say about this phone, but not much that hasn't already been said. After 10 years of relatively good service, I switched from T-mobile, to Verizon for this phone - terrible decision. So much potential with the Storm but such horrible, horrible execution. I'm not... More

Don't Listen to these people!!!!!!!!!!

I've had this phone since July of 2009 and I love it. The people that are giving low ratings DON'T know what they are talking about!! This phone is AMAZING. The 5.0 update made this phone even better. My phone never freezes. This phone should be rated 10/10 not 6/10!!!!!!!
I would much rather... More

Black Berry Storm door stop

Anonymous from Amazon ( over 2 years ago )

2/10

I have owned a Storm since June 2009, daily the phone freezes up to the point where I have to take the battery out and wait 10 minutes for the phone to reboot. I have been on Verizon tech support and the have had me whipe the memory clean and reload all my info. Doesn't work and you can never recover... More

Not so easy

Pro: Computer on hip

Con: Need little fingers

These things are really neat when you first get them.
But when you need to use it the screen is difficult to type on with large fingers , I thought it was me then I asked a friend he had the same problem. Well, someday I will get a iphone and try that.

2/10

Pro: Has some good features

Con: Constantly freezes, not clear on how to do anything, hard to download apps

I would never recommend this phone to anyone unless you want to be constantly irritated. It freezes nonstop and is very slow. Way to complex on something as simple as downloading a ringtone.... More

Updated OS

The 9530 did have some serious problems when it was first released. However, it runs great with OS 4.7...and even better with OS 5.0 I love my Storm and recommend it very strongly.

Pro: looks good

Con: slow, battery life, hard to use

This phone is awful. When I try to call someone it freezes or pushes a random number. I have absolutely nothing downloaded on my phone and when I tried to get an application it said there was no more space. By the way this is my third blackberry... More

Pro: I like everything about it except the apps.

Con: Apps are not as good as IPhone and the movement is not as somooth.

When browsing through the contacts etc its not as smooth as iphone though. Hope they will improve the operating system. Apps cannot be stored on the memory card. But other wise its... More

Been using for 1 year now

8/10

Pro: email and texting

Con: using the internet quickly

I agree with many that the RAM should have been large enough to allow for quicker internet usage. Also, the flash player driver should be available.

Storm? More like Katrina.

todd@crimcheck.com from Amazon ( over 2 years ago )

4/10

I saw the commercials for the Storm2 and decided I had to have this phone (yep I'm a sucker for cool effects). So I called Verizon and asked about it. The Tele-Sales rep said to me why not just get the original storm, it now has the same OS but the only real difference is that the original storm... More

I like it better than -roid!

10/10

I've had my Storm for a year now, and have been debating whether to upgrade to the new Storm2 or the Motorola Droid. I had the opportunity to play with both phones, and I can confidently say that the Storm is the true winner! I like the fact that you can touch the screen but need to actually "click"... More
