    Anonymous, 01 Dec 2008Give it two - three months, and there could be a turbo sim ... moreAnd who will be paying out the contract?

    In Australia the Storm will ONLY be available on a two year contract, there will be no outright sales to feed into resellers.

    The Storm IS purpose built for Vodafone, like the other Vodafone phones.

      "does anyone think that this phone will take the market by "storm" like the iPhone did? i think RIM are trying to keep up with apple..."

      This phone sells well, especially in the current climate. The i-phone is a different barrell of monkeys altogether. The blackberry excells as a business/smart phone, but the i-phone is alot more focused on media. Overall the iphone probably is a more elegant finished product, but I think the target audience should be two totally different types of customers as the functionality is very different from each other, from the touch screen, the applications and the operating system.

        ''no wi-fi, rubbish''. The phone doesn't necessarily need wi-fi as an internet bundle (unlimited web browsing) comes with the contract. Yes it can be quicker but it is a very fast connection regardless (for a phone).

          So far there hasn't been a particularly useful comment on the actual phones, just people berating carriers. I really don't care if your service is sub standard, I really would just like some feedback on the phone. From what I have seen, it is definitely going to fill a gap in the marketplace for trendyness vs use-ability. Blackberries are hands-down the best mobile email devices available. Windows mobile, symbian, and apple OSes have yet to work it out.

            You can unlock the handsets.
            All of you should get your information straight before you blast this phone or Vodafone. They are the best carrier I have ever been with and if I have ever had a faulty phone or any problems, they fixed them up straight away.
            Shame on you all.

              Give it two - three months, and there could be a turbo sim like on the iphone that allows different networks. However i am not guarenteeing this.

              I do know a lot of data configurers who claim they will be able to decode the phone and therefore will be able to provide the phones unlocked - this will invalidate warrnetee - but if you want it to work on another network then so be it!

              No wifi though is rubbish!

                Andrea-- The blackberry storm will only ever be released on vodafone. It is an exclusive handset to vodafone.

                There is also no way of getting this handset unlocked

Vodaphone and the blackberry Phone gave me nothing but greif for 4 days . Well done T.Mobile keep up the good work

                                Please don't buy this handset i sick of having to send them back ............... yet another mistake by Vodafone should have learnt form not selling the iphone the fist time round and then they do it again missing the iphone 3g when will they learn to listen to what the customers want its not hard they pay me to do it im sure if the asked there staff what handset they use they would be shocked to know that most of them have iphones on there Vodafone staff feast price plan good deal crap range of handsets please do your self a massive favour and p45 the idiot that you have in charge of choosing the product range for the company im pretty sure that if they pulled there head out of there ass and asked there staff the back bone of the company ie the people who sell the products not the pen pusher fat cats that do sod all. they might just keep every one happy lots of commission for me lots of profit for company & the share holders ,
                                and happy customers cant see what the problem is its not hard



                                wish they would get a clue soon before it to late

                                      what are you going to do when they omit wi-fi from phones for legal reasons?!

                                        i dont understnd why you are all crying over the new blackberry storm! it is a good phone, it may not have wi-fi but the internet browser is still good, the touch takes getting used to but is still good, you all say that i wish it was more like the iphone but the only good thing about the iphone compared to this is that it has wi-fi and that isn't accentual! there has been news that wi-fi is going to be taken off of phones any ways.
