The blackberry Storm (9530) is a glitch POS & was released far to early to be anything but a consumer gimmick.

So I take the shot in the pants and keep going, next I find out Verizon lied about %100 Rev- A
add www prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=109&STORY=/www/story/06-29-2007/0004618056&EDATE=Verizon Wireless: 100 Percent Of Wireless Broadband Network Now Enhanced With Faster Speeds
If the above press release from Verizon is correct; How come my UM-175(3g) modem connects National Access (Rev-0) almost half the time. If I force the modem HDR only in these Rev-A/ Rev-0 fridge zones I get no internet. Can someone tell me how come Verizon can release a PR saying
“Verizon Wireless announced today that all of its CDMA 1x Evolution-Data Optimized (EVDO) network nationwide has been enhanced to Revision (Rev.) A technology.”- But I’m still forced Rev-0????
So I call and write EVERYONE at Verizon looking for answers (from tech support to Ivan Seidenberg CEO). No one would answer me; so I wrote the Better Business Buru online a complaint. Verizon called me 15 days later to tell me that they would call me in another 15 days… Verizon seem to just be giving me the runaround rather then answer my questions.
So I made it my personal vendetta to scour the internet letting others know what a bad company Verizon is. Also how crappy the RIM Blackberry is; The handset is a true display in bad consumer testing. Across 4 Storms I find they all glitch in many, many different ways (From lagging & locking up to full soft resets) The iphone wasn’t perfect by any stretch but a million times better then any storm will every be. If just 1 person reads this post and buys a iphone instead of a blackberry; Then I feel better
P.S You whant to know what really grinds my gears…
Blackberry Storm
Visual Voicemail- $2.99/ month
VZ Navigator w/ GPS- $9.99/ month
Use Handset as a Modem 5120mb- $14.99/ month
Verizon only App store- Priceless
-ALL FREE ON THE IPHONE
I’m tired of Verizon ripping $27.97 a month more then they should be

Ok, a) go away troll.
b) on your cost rundown:
Visual Voicemail: Not necessary, pure aesthetic. I don't have it
VZNavigator: Not necessary, BB Maps works just fine, also other alternatives (Garmin)
Use Handset as modem: In my situation, I have a seperate modem for my laptop. However, that's not unreasonable IMO
I still don't see where your arguement is. The issue with your 8gb cards was a rarity. I have been a Verizon sub for years. They are always good with their customer service.
I don't pay $27.97 more than I should, nor will I.
