Bought this when it came out. Most terrible phone I ever bought. Kept crashing often. The update wasn't worth it so I went back to an old phone. My friend waited for the update and still was the same. The features were great in all but wow on taking a few minutes to power on/ restart. The bkackberry storm 2 was the same but built differently.
This is the best review of the BB Storm I've seen so far. Thanks. I wanted to check it out tomorrow on the release but I dont think I'll make it in time before they're all sold out. Maybe I'll send my mom to get it while I'm in school :)
It is now 2021, and I remember this phone. Omg. It was literally a step backwards. The OS was adapted to be touchscreen accessible, instead of building the OS from the ground up. Sooo many missed opportunities. Hardly any apps available for the device. And you know it's a bad device when saying "iPhone killer."
The touch screen click takes a while to get used to but over all this phone is awesome....i'd recomend this phone for anyone who wants an iPhone but cant go to at&t.
i got this a week ago and i love it; its my 1st blackberry. it may have sucked when it first came out but now it doesnt because i made improvements like adding a trimmed business card under the battery which made it click 10X better and updated the OS to 5. which made it freezes rarely and not nearly as much as before. you can change it so it doesnt auto dim also i love this thing
I got it... The clicking screen is awesome... It's more of a confirmation type thing... it's like an extension of the touch screen... you touch the screen like a regular Ipod touch or Iphone, and then you click the screen down like a button to confirm what you want to press. it really comes in handy when typing. spell check is really good as usual. and the Web Browsing is faster than any EVDO Verizon phone I ever used. Only negative i ran into is the BBStorm isn't compatible with backupassistant
i have heard a lot of different things about the storm and all of your videos on the storm and thanks to your videos i will hopefully be getting the storm about july 18th or 19th
RIM said they would release updates with a few weeks to fix any bugs and make it faster. remember the iphone had a lot of bugs when it was first released too
LOL at the CD-ROM and microSD card included. This phone didn't even have WiFi! But the BIS push messaging and BBM were ahead of its time...and the click typing with two letters per key was a great setup for fast typing. This was the first smartphone that was heavily modded. A lot of Storm users went straight to Android after. This was the beginning of the end for RIMM.
I've had this phone for two days and I feel like flinging it out the window, but it does take great pictures. What other verizon phone takes amazing pictures? Such as the ones the storm takes?
Great review but the whole App store, visual voice mail and GPS questions I have are not answered. Like whats in the app store, does visual voice mail cost money, and IS THE GPS LOCKED COMPLETELY?? Oh and FYI the part 2 video was taken down.
Took some practice, for me at least, to become accustomed to thumb typing on my Storm but I got the hang of it. Charming little phone. Still have mine and it's in fine shape. I have a lot of messages, photos and videos on the device from 2009. My old Storm 9530 is a still-functioning electronic time capsule.
love your reviews. very objective and fair. A true GEEK! and i mean that as a compliment. been waiting for the blackberry storm review. i'm still deciding which smartphone to choose.
Hi and happy new year, sir ! Has it came to your mind to think about clients that are looking for these smartphones for intellectual purposes such as: Ebooks, Isilo programs etc? Because, Im frustrated that no one gives a tutorial or present those aspects. All of you speak only about emails, video, mp3 etc. Many thanks
yeah i was an at&t person to but then i saw that verizon was better than at&t and thenm the storm came along...and the storm is can do everything the iphone cann and more..and ppl are forgetting and if they do thier research the blacberry storm has an app. store and will be having upgrades by the end of the year..
This is what you do; 1. Hold your breath. 2. Copy and paste this to another video. 3. Don't paste it on the video you got it from! If you can do ALL this without taking a breath, CONGRATULATIONS! YOUR A GREAT KISSER
omg my dads friend had this phone and him and i couldnt figuar out how to get to his SMS messages and its soo touch sensitive+it was soo hard to type on.and its very confusing.i wouldnt really recommened this phone unless ur a pro touch screen user but yet i only had the phone in my hand for 5 mins and idk if the person who owned it did anything to the phone before i had it
I think smartphones should reincoporate the forward facing VGA cam for video calls, like the Nokia N70 or the Ericsson K610i had. Maybe they could access things like yahoo messenger etc. I think it would make them more powerful phones.
i bought this phone on ebay but this one didnt come with the browser or the appliucation app.. so i cant dowload anything thats anything i can do ? i need help!
Personally I like it for texting. You just need to give it time and get used to it. At first I really hated it. But having it for a couple of months now, its grown on me.
got one today so far not happy might return it.. got it for yes... 200.00 with a 100 MIR and then I got a 2nd BB Storm free (yes we had renewals) but the 2bd bb wont be ours til 11-05. I think its way to effing sluggish and cant stand it.. Loved the price... now I see why its this price.
ok you have just showed me that this is the thuggest phone EVER!!! but i have sprint an i just wanted to know if the blackberry storm is gonna be with sprint???
I remember watching this channel everyday 10 years ago
Ricardo Chavez I’m right there with you
Yep. I was just three years old when I started watching Phonedog. I didn’t know what TH-cam was but watched them on a site called LetsTalk.
watched this channel everyday 7 years ago, wanted a lot of these phones then haha
Wow, what a time capsule. I paused the 2023 Blackberry movie to find and watch this video. Bonkers.
Same!

this phone is awesome. I have only had it for 2 days, and so far it's the best phone ever.
I don't care what anyone says, I loved my Blackberry Storm at the time. I also miss Noah.
callmemarc what happened to Noah
@@jordynivea they uploaded his Arc to the Boat, he later created a Cloud to store all that stuff
So did my dad. Except that I peeled the buttons off of his Storm at 3 AM when I was still in preschool

OMG!!!!!!! I LOVE the Blackberry Storm! Luckily my mom loves it to so I am going to get it for my b-day which is next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
did u got it

i love this thing
the screen was just ahead of it's time. surepress is similar to the galaxy s4's screen with the preview without actually clicking it. pretty neat
Man I remember watching this guy frequently in middle school!

it actually registers it even if u just touch the screen, it just doesnt click or for example dont go to menu or type a key.
Great review but the whole App store, visual voice mail and GPS questions I have are not answered. Like whats in the app store, does visual voice mail cost money, and IS THE GPS LOCKED COMPLETELY?? Oh and FYI the part 2 video was taken down.
depends on what plan you have.
its an extra $30 a month for interenet and emailing plan (its required)
Currently watching in 2019, still tempted to get this phone just to get it.
My first blackberry phone, i always remember that clicky screen feels like 😁
Took some practice, for me at least, to become accustomed to thumb typing on my Storm but I got the hang of it. Charming little phone. Still have mine and it's in fine shape. I have a lot of messages, photos and videos on the device from 2009. My old Storm 9530 is a still-functioning electronic time capsule.
@@TralfazConstruction is there GPS or WIFI to use Google Maps?
@@MargauxNeedler No WiFi which is/was disappointing. The Storm 9530 was dependent on Verizon's 3G service back then which was more than adequate.
the cliking idea is very nice.
you have to slightly lay your finger on the screen then the curser will change then you will be able to move to the location that you want to edit.
I used to own a storm a long time ago, but I lost it in an airport rental car. I guess I wasn't ready for an expensive phone at the time.
love your reviews. very objective and fair.
A true GEEK! and i mean that as a compliment.
been waiting for the blackberry storm review.
i'm still deciding which smartphone to choose.
Awesome video I might get this phone in a few days & want to no how it works & after watching this video I want it even more!
lol, when i saw the commercial, when they said it clicks, i thought they meant it made a click noise. lol, Rock On Phone Dog!!!
In Canada its $25 with a 3 year contract.. but you would haveta look locally for prices.
what you think is better iphone 3g or blackberry storm?
Hi and happy new year, sir !
Has it came to your mind to think about clients that are looking for these smartphones for intellectual purposes such as: Ebooks, Isilo programs etc? Because, Im frustrated that no one gives a tutorial or present those aspects. All of you speak only about emails, video, mp3 etc.
Many thanks
which phone should i get?
blackberry storm or lg dare
Wow this thing will take the market by storm.
One thing i want to know is do i have to pay for the email service since its a smartphone or any other additional charges?
theoretically its possible, since it has a sim card, and works with the same band as tmobile, tho i havnt heard it done yet
seems like its just a thin layer of touch screen but to make it actually work there are little buttons inside
im so glad that it has the normal black berry keyboard
thats cool because when you type a message its like your clicking buttons rather than touching a touch screen so its kinda like both
is the screen actually like hard like the iphone or plastic?
please answer my questions:]
wait for the Storm2, it's coming out pretty soon.
can you set it so it is silent...
instead of making the clicking noise?
how would it cost if I wanted to upgrade from my old phone with the contract not yet expired?
excuse me, does every Blackberry clicks on the screen, or it;s just this particular phone?
im getting a new phone in december should i get the calgary or the dare or the versa
i have an iphone 3g and im saveing for a blackberry storm how much does it cost to buy and attachments if any
So I'm getting the storm from a friend but I have sprint can u switch it over and still get all my options?
look at all those phones im wondering if he gets to keep some of them
My friend's got it, and it's a very cool phone. However, the keyboard is pretty frustrating and it takes a while to get used to.
Looks like you getting better at typing, Noah!
even when your typing your messages you have to click down on the screen?
wut do u do if u want to text in class is it going to make tht clicking noise or no
is there really one coming out?
yeah i was an at&t person to but then i saw that verizon was better than at&t and thenm the storm came along...and the storm is can do everything the iphone cann and more..and ppl are forgetting and if they do thier research the blacberry storm has an app. store and will be having upgrades by the end of the year..
Is it a good thing that the screen clicks or is it a bad thing this is me leaving a comment oin my bold 9900
Harry Strachan after 6 years i hope you have upgraded! ;)
My first and last blackberry phone still kept somewhere
lmao yeah i was thinking the samething when he was typing, what phone do you have? i have the voyager, =) love it!!
I'm bout to get a new phone wat should i get Storm or enV touch help me
yo u have the best phone reviews
just ordered one so exited.
I may get this phone tommorow. If all goes as planned.......
how many phones do you have
what was the sound when you press the on key :P
so isnt this the version that works on tmobile?
The blackberry movie sent me here
hey i get my new phone next month and im not sure if i should get the storm or the tour. Can someone please help me ?
you should do a dog fight between the storm and g1
RIM was building smart phones long before apple. and LG also had touch screen phones more than 6 months before the iphone was released.
This is what you do;
1. Hold your breath.
2. Copy and paste this to another video.
3. Don't paste it on the video you got it from!
If you can do ALL this without taking a breath,
CONGRATULATIONS!
YOUR A GREAT KISSER

it was my birthday the day he posted this video
so ... this is available in europe ?
what kind of screen is that
I think smartphones should reincoporate the forward facing VGA cam for video calls, like the Nokia N70 or the Ericsson K610i had. Maybe they could access things like yahoo messenger etc. I think it would make them more powerful phones.
i bought this phone on ebay but this one didnt come with the browser or the appliucation app.. so i cant dowload anything thats anything i can do ? i need help!
today, damn the lines outside the store was long in my area.
i have to get this
wait for the storm 2 to come out in november
What if the touchscreen used as a trackpad with surepress...
why did you buy this old phone???
i love my storm! amazing features and very fast.
how do get all these phones?
It's not an iphone killer, but it, the omnia , and the touch pro, are the best phones out for verizon right now IMO.
What is the big deal over unboxing a product?
yes its not in the phone when you get it you have to put it in
Noah's really funny. Gonna miss him.
Personally I like it for texting. You just need to give it time and get used to it. At first I really hated it. But having it for a couple of months now, its grown on me.
finally out!! nice unboxing!!
exactly but the iphone was copied off of the htc tytn but the ipod touch was alredy out and the tytn was out 3 years before the iphone came out at all
got one today so far not happy might return it.. got it for yes... 200.00 with a 100 MIR and then I got a 2nd BB Storm free (yes we had renewals) but the 2bd bb wont be ours til 11-05. I think its way to effing sluggish and cant stand it.. Loved the price... now I see why its this price.
how old do you have to be to get the job you have
@MrDntsub If it is unlocked and has a SIM card slot, yes.
how are we suppose to use the phone if we are not on verizon and instead we are on AT&T?? how will the payment go? anyone can help me?
how come u are not unboxing those phones in the background

Ilike your videos Noah, and man ... look at the background it's full of phones' boxes , lucky
