@ek:
So you don’t follow BB news much eh? that’s okay.

In USA:
Bold = ATT
Storm = Verizon

Bold could be bought and “unlocked” to work on TMO, but not at 3G speed. Storm will ONLY work on Verizon (and Bell/Telus in Canada). It’s a CDMA/EVDO thing.

@ek:
You will need to decide two things:
1 you want ATT or Verizon?
2 touch screen or keyboard.

Those will make the decision for you. You should go hands on try both once they are out though. You’ll be locked in for two years so chose wisely!

“No Wi-Fi hurts at this conference. The Storm was running on GSM and the EDGE speed to load the BlackBerry Cool website was killer. Also, the browser still has some rendering/javascript issues, but the device isn’t out yet so give it time.”

It also hurts when you get off of a plane and find that your carrier is experiencing problems in the location you just landed in and you can’t make a call, you can’t send an email and you can’t sms anyone. Ask me how I know.

If my device would have had wi-fi I could have gotten around not having service for 3 freakin days. Please include the wifi, or I might have to wait on this one.

Caspan – “First off, I apologize for the poor image quality. It’s been well documented what a terrible photographer I am and the coffee isn’t helping. I’ll try to get better shots later, when the RIM police aren’t around.”

Can anyone lighten up a bit, it’s the internet for crying out loud.

BlogReader (??) – That way it gives Opera and Mozilla to develop their own breed of mobile browsing. Although i do agree with what you’re saying, but consider this, competition pushes the envelope.

Thanks for the post ladies!

Also, the browser still has some rendering/javascript issues, but the device isn’t out yet so give it time.

Why give them any time? They’ve had years to work on their extremely poor browser. They don’t they just throw in the towel and pay Opera to do it and be the default one. Why does BB have to do all of their software “development” in house?
