Hold on a sec, the Storm doesn't have wifi?

Any new phone without wifi these days is automatic fail to me, I use it all the time on my n78, and used to on my n95.

Wasn't the Storm released on Verizon first and they asked for it to not have tri-band HSDPA nor wifi (not the first time Verizon have asked manufactures to leave out features) to stop people unlocking it and transfering to other networks (like AT&T, Rogers etc)?

Although great to hear from a Vodafone employee that Vodafone also rather not push technology, instead cripple a product for their own profitable gain

Is the rumoured 50% return rate the reason we've not heard from bubble recently?

im gettin there now Mr S

john lad, as with all phones that are new, there will be some returns.

i admit yes, the storm has had some returns-many of which were due to software or people not reading user guides.

less than the n96 though!!

You can send texts to more than one person at a time.


Jambo my non 3g one could do this? you just added more names to the people you were sending it to.

I was hoping everyone would be sick of iphones by now mainly for the fact I foolishly got mine stolen by taking it travelling with me and should've just left it at home in a box ready for my return. Crap... not sure what to do about a phone when I return now. Was hoping something new would've surpassed it by now.

God knows but I know our faulty work phones (Pearls & the other bigger ones) are being replaced by storms, my bro's work can get them as an option at no extra cost & my friends small business account (5 handsets) got a storm when his Pearl gave up the ghost

Got to admit it looks when its up & running but personally I found it tricky to use

probably consumer accounts then. a good 95% of business and consumer use enterprise servers rather than exchange and the enterprise activation software is not yet done.

we arent shoving them down peoples throats-we dont need too!!

Gadget show doing a review, storm came right at the bottom, again complaints of the clicky screen and time it takes to type out emails.

HTC touch hd even beat it with the terrible standard winmo keyboard.

How ironic that the storm was beaten by the TouchHD and iPhone considering its the one coming from the business background where they were kings of sending emails

mines broken now dropped it last night, and although the glass screen is completely scratch resistant i discovered its not smash resistant!
and i still dont get peoples issues with the touch screen, i find it much better than a standard one as you can select things before you press them and the clicking makes typing feel better. i suppose its just like anything new it takes some time to get used to and people dont give it a chance
