Originally posted by Crazy Serb and I just gave up my HTC Tytn... couldn't handle the complexity that came with the phone (as much as I loved it). I found it offered too much on a device like that, and I didn't use 10% of its features most of the time. And I find most of the newer phones coming out (iPhone, Instinct, HTC, etc) having all kinds of useless features that are better left for a laptop or computer than a phone... but people still buy into them, because hey, everyone wants to be on top of the chain, admired for having the latest, coolest, most expensive gadget in the city. Fan boys... I'm reverting back to a simple phone with a sexy edge to it, just for shits and giggles... and leaving all the internet browsing, mp3 playing and video recording to devices that were built just for that and do it much better than any phone can actually emulate... back to Samsung, baby:

My cousin in Cyprus has this, awesome phone. Love the 'touch' feature that you use while not even pushing a button (at least the first two main buttons before the slider are like that from what I remember). It's as if a lot of the phones nowadays have that.

okey so?
I meant that you stressed that Samsung and Nokia are only good cell phones-wise
in fact Samsung also makes a shitload of other appliances which are great, but majority are only sold in Europe

my cousin in Ukraine has this one (lol what is this with cousins?)
anyway his biggest complaint is how freaking sensitive the center button is

{nevermind}

I dunno? (The cousin thing) I remember the center button being super touchy as well. Ah well.

btw, they have Keo (see my avatar) in the Lcbo here, I picked up almost a 24 2 weeks ago. Woot.

Yes, b/c this is a cellphone thread, not home appliance thread.

Fujitsu Heavy Industries owns Subaru and Fujitsu-Siemens makes phones so by proxy we can talk about Subaru cars here, so lets discuss those

BlackBerry Storm goes into TA (technical acceptance) at Verizon, delayed 3-4 weeks



Here�s our latest info on the BlackBerry Storm and the fate of the device on Verizon�s network: it just went into technical acceptance at Verizon which usually takes around 3-4 weeks, and the device has been delayed internally by around 3-4 weeks while they work out the kinks (read: buggy and unresponsive) and polish it up. That puts us around a mid-November launch on Verizon. We�ve double confirmed that information, so it should be pretty accurate. Additionally, we heard from someone else that they�ve increased the marketing budget for the BlackBerry Storm just to give AT&T a little kick in the nuts for delaying the Bold so much. That�s not confirmed, still probably a little true, plus we got a chuckle out of that anyway.

Welcome to the real world Apple & Blackberry, it's not easy to have a touch screen, high res screens and 3rd Party app support.

I;m hoping this unit will be successful. I love Palm and respect Blackberry a lot. If this unit kicks off smooth ... from now on, I will have both Palm and Blackberry as my main units.

Looks pretty sweet. I wouldn't mind toying with it, but again, meh to touchscreen stuff.

Anybody know what kind of touchscreen it is though? Capacitive or resistive?

Roger's ver is unlimited after 6pm instead.

Gonna change my plan to this, sometime this week. If you gonna do the same, I suggest a hardware up grade aswell, since this contract is 3 yrs too.

I have no idea what to get for the hardware upgrade ... nothing I like out now and this plan will end. It's gonna be either the Nokia N95, Blackberry Curve or iPhone. This unit will be my ME NOT CARE unit, chuck it, drop it and even if i make it float on water ... ME NOT CARE! Or give it to my mom, if thats the case ... iPhone is perfect for old ppl.

FUck them, why is it only on a 3 year plan?!

because its a pretty good deal?

I've been on it for about 6-7 months now and its great.

Since i'm at work during the day, I never use my cell phone during those hours. Pretty much everything I do is after 5pm, and I don't need 200 minutes for that 1 hour...
