Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Anyone got one of these? I'm seriously thinking of getting one but need to know what it is like to use. I basically need a good business type phone for e-mail & web plus diary type features that happens to also be a touch phone as I can't use them phones with buttons.

QBG Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Can't go wrong with a Blackberry for e-mail and web. Don't have any experience of the Storm 2 but can't imagine its that much different than the Bold that I have, apart from the touch screen obviously. Web browsing is fast and easy the vast majority of the time and you can sync your e-mail address with the phone, so you get notified when you get an e-mail, though it does get annoying when your phone makes a noise to tell you you've got spam. They're a sound investment though, not sure how I ever lived without one tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Cheers for that. I actually had a little play of my brother's Blackberry curve today which after 10 minutes I found a piece of piss to use and very good for e-mail and web, it seems a very compact phone, neat and easy to use. I'm gonna get one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Email, fine, pretty much unbeatable. Anything else? nar like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrissy Bee Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I'd wait for the HTC Desire or Legend. Both out in a couple of weeks. Or get an iPhone. It really depends how serious you are on the business needs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 HTC Hero Love the look and feel of that but my last HTC was a reet let down. I currently own the Omnia and while it is a top notch phone its coming to the end of its contract and I just fancy something else, something less busy and less gadgety, something purely for business. testing my brother's Blackberry the web browser showed sites like they do on my laptop, loading was quick and response was quick too. E-mail is superb, seems the phone I need for my business. The battery life is also very important which is pretty good on the Blackberry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrissy Bee Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Was your last HTC android or WinMo...? Considering he's just come to the end of a contract on an Omnia it must have been Winmo to have bought it 2-3 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slugsy Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I've been a blackberry user for 3 years, had lots of different ones and never been impressed with using them to surf the web. Excellent for practical business stuff but not for fun stuff, well there are better phones out there for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Android is the operating system. It is made by google. If is infinitely better than any Windows Mobile operating system. Don't blame HTC for the WinMo operating system being awful.

Guest Roger Kint Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Does anyone know when the HTC Legend comes out for each network? I know its 10 April(ish) for Vodafone but after the email i sent them theres no way they or i will be taking on another contract with them. On that subject what is the most reliable network out of T Mob, Orange and O2? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 That sounds like a pretty hefty beast. No doubt it'll end up here in some form, but the CDMAness makes me think it may be a while before it lands in GSMworld. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
