My new Blackberry Storm
I am a total geek. In large part because of the work I do here but also because I am a total geek I have accounts with three different phone carriers. I have the iPhone on AT&T, the G1 Android on T-Mobile, and until today I had the Blackberry 8830 on Verizon.
You may recall I had an evaluation Blackberry Storm supplied by RIM back when it launched on Verizon. I enjoyed using that evaluation phone and my impression of the Storm was pretty favorable while not the common one. That phone went back to RIM long ago but Verizon has been calling to me to get one of my very own.
I have successfully fought off that urge until today and I now have a Blackberry Storm to call mine. Verizon let it go for only $99 with all the various incentives including the “new every two” discount they offered. I just couldn’t pass that up so I have one of these babies of my own. That means I now have the three flagship devices for each of the networks I belong to:
