    Stay away from this poor piece of crap. I had the blackberry storm since May 2009. First i thought it was a good phone when i got it then i discover the flaws after months of using it.

    The radio signal is official crap. I go to the gym and lose the signal. My other phones did not have this problem. When it goes to SOS mode it takes long to find a signal automatically. Better to do it manually. It is not a reliable phone i am receiving/sending sms a day late? I taken the battery out so many times to reboot the phone.

    The speaker and mic is not better than iphone or nokia.

    Software lags and is slow.

    I thought the BB touch screen was superb when i first got it, then weighed it up against the iphone. Come to think about it i press so much hard down the storm touch screen why i want more RSI on my fingers.

    The browser is useless the GUI interface. Go to some websites are it can freeze up your phone (gumtree) or dhtml menus links on a website don't work. Safari walks over BB opera browser.

    I nearly junk the Storm phone down the bin. I have replace the storm 4 times. I have an iphone 3g now it runs over the BB storm with easy. I'm so impressed i was not a big Apple fan before since getting the iPhone i change my skepticism, Apple do know how make quality and reliable products.

      since i bought the 9500 all i get to hear is criticism from people on how bad the touch/press technology is - I know it is but i still love it.... The LCD screen has started to shift a bit more than the usual... apart from that its pretty good....

                    it is worst than a real storm. it is a disaster waiting for the unsuspecting consumer. how could BB turn out such crap. it is not user friendly at all. u cant even copy your address book to sim. it has too many basic things missing and its just not worth it w/o even wifi! one piece a s***

                          Just downloaded the latest update for the phone, the best bit is (at last) is that the phone can no longer unlock itself when any button is inadvertantly pressed whilst in your pocket. You have to press the lock button on top of the phone, this should have been the case when the handset was designed. Better late than ever. Also, the phone seems to be faster when switching between applications, great!

                              With the latest firmware on this phone was a good bit of kit.
                              Ebay item 140357939469 would seem to be a very good deal.

                                  It's not the BB 9500's fault why it hasn't any wi-fi... next time take a look at the speicification on any mobile phone before buying it so that there will be no regrets later...
