I am so anger at Storm and Verizon

I am so **bleep** as the storm really sucks. It should be a great PDA but it ii slow, locks up. Won't keep more than about 100 emails due to memory issues???

There are so many good units out there but Verizon won't bring them in. The I phone is so superior that RIM looks like a high school project.

If any other carrier could provide the coverage that Verizon does I would switch in a heartbeat, even gladly pay the early fee.

I am so feed up with how much better the I phone is over the storm,

What is wrong with Verizon. {keep it courteous}

Just needed to vent but ya I am going to leave and go with the I phone.

Do you want any help first or are you determined to go? I have Storm and no problems.

Hey there,

Sorry you are having problems. If you regularly delete your email from your Storm, you should not have lock ups. Rebooting the device every couple of days helps to free up some built up memory issues too.

The Iphone is a great device, I'm sure. I don't own either the Storm or the Iphone, but I don't think they were designed to be replicas of each other. They each have their unique differences. For now, try my suggestion from above and delete some email and see if your performance gets better.

Pardon my ignorance if you are still out there why would you want to keep your email on a hand held device? Most if not all eliminate them and any they need to save, would be done on home Comp. or Laptop. I am sure that is what is causing your problems.

I am on the road most of the time. My customer jobs last about 4 to 8 weeks ave. I need to comunicate with my customers and to have the emails releated to the job is a great benifit. My storm deletes them after about 10 days. I have talked to RIM support over 8 hours. They even sent me a new phone. I have only one application that did not come already installed and that is "shortcovers" an e-book reader. My free memory is wide open acording to the techs and they do not know why my storm only saves 10 days.

Funny Rim specs say the storm will save 65,000 messages. Yes that is 65 thousand. Mine stores about 300.

I have gone over every setting there is wih techs from Verizon and RIM including upper level techs. I have tried blackberry forum but nothing has worked other than to convince me that the storm is not that good of a pda

My Storm has a setting you can set for how long to keep emails. I will try and find where it was I set mine, and get back to you.

I have set all the settings. Save mail for 3 months. Wireless Reconcile - off, In outlook I have to leave on server for 3 months. I have 2 email accounts and 1 text message. Each will hold approx 100 messages. From there when something new comes in, it deletes the oldest one. Has anyone checked to see how many emails there storm has.

The I phone is so superior that RIM looks like a high school project.

Most of the Blackberry complaint threads on this, and other forums, always seem to come down to the iPhone and how superior it is. Sorry you are having problems with your Storm but there is nothing stopping you from getting an iPhone. All you have to do is become a customer of AT&T. But I am guessing since you use your phone for business you already ready know a move to the iPhone would be adding to your problems not taking away from them.

You bet, if ATT had a decent service I would jump but every time I talk to someone that has ATT they remind me not to do it. I understand there is a rumor of Apple making a device for Verizon in the future when Verizon goes to the new 4g system. I read somewhere that Apple does not want to make a cdma phone as it will be obsolete shortly. I am just very disappointed in RIM.

LCromwell

AT&T just announced any phone in their lineup is .01Ct or maybe it was a $1 with a new 2 year contract. So go switch to the I-Phone if you think it is so superior.
