el-camino-ss · 11-17-2008, 12:20 PM

I know I know, I just had 2 new phones...but I returned them.

I plan on going to a release party on friday to get the storm.

Anyone else planning on getting it?

The phone looks so hot it makes me want to switch to verizon.

It's a touchscreen, not multitouch; so fail.

looks nice but its small like the pearl...small things too me are for the ladies... i personally have the BlackBerry Bold/9000 and love it....I wonder how the transition for you will be? Meaning i think this is your first Blackberry... Like I tell ppl i meet once you get a Blackberry theres no going back? What will be your monthly plan? Data Package? things get expensive for a smartphone?

Because you click the screen?

AND it is a multi touch

From what ive read, it attempts to mimic multitouch functionality, but the screen itself is just a touch screen. If it is actually multitouch, it will be closer to actually competing with the iPhone than any of the others (Voyager, gPhone, etc...) but will still face feirce competition. Most people that want an iPhone wouldnt want a blackberry, and most people that want a blackberry wouldnt want an iPhone; briging the gap is quite pointless.

explaining it won't do it justice...go get one (if you can afford it) and try it out on your own.
