My verizon phone just broke for the third time (thanks again for telling me to get this phone zero...). So i had a replacement blackberry storm shipped up to me at home to use until i can get this one fixed in a few months. Well apparently all blackberry's on the verizon network require you to pay for internet. So if i want to use this phone i have to play 30 bucks a month or some shit, i cant just use the texting plan i pay for now. This is bull shit, and i needed to fuckin speak on it.

Its the best thing to happen since the wheel was invented. Blackberrys are a life saver for me in and out of work
The Storm blows dick.
That and Verizon is a scam, the have been charging me with random shit for as long as I can remember. Go with T-Mobile and get the New sidekick.

its not just verizon MBP, most carriers besides T-mobile, require you to have a data plan if your using a smartphone (blackberry, palm, apple, HTC, Nokia, Motorola).
blackberry's I think are the worst phone's ever made, the software and OS is really good, but blackberry manufactures some really cheap phones. they crack, break and stop working way to easily. Palm has always built a solid phone, but most people won't use it cause it runs windows mobile.
Apple and AT&T are just money sucking execs.
MBP I don't know what your situation with your contract with Verizon is but unless you travel all around the country and do business, there is no need to be on verizon and on a blackberry.
if you want a smartphone and use it for college, get on T-mobile and use the HTC wing2. plus the data plan is only $20 bucks more a month and you can get 1000 minutes for $40 a month right now.
oh and I refuse to use a blackberry for work, I've been given 4 of them by my IT department and I'm using one of them as a coaster at home.
LOL Itb.
Those are awfully expensive coasters.
You should sell them, or is that like super illegal or some shit...

All blackberrys blow cocks...I had alltel before and they were good but I switched to T-mobile so I could get an android phone....the only thing wrong with T-mobile is they need to expand their 3g network faster
I didn't have any problems with alltel btw
And what is wrong with windows mobile? I liked it on my old moto q
lol. I have a BB Storm and I honestly have no idea why people bitch and moan about them. The internet plan/email plan is required for all SMARTPHONES on Verizon so guess what? If you want a planner invest in one without cell phone carriers. inthebutt is pretty much correct. The only difference is T-Mobile includes the price of internet usage in their plans price.

that's a lie, it was made up by PALM PR people.
iPhones don't explode they don't have enough power in them too.
@res nope there company property, so I can't sell them but I can abuse the hell out of them and just give it back to IT.
plus they don't care, if I could show you the closet where IT keeps all the cell phones, you would be amazed at how many phones are just stored in a room. I'm surprised the only thing locking it is a deadbolt.

I hate this phone too, it keeps freezing on me, and shutting down all the time.
Pisses me off.
Never liked the Black Berrys, because I never liked the design.
An ex roommate had one.

I got a Pearl when they first came out with T-mobile, since I needed a GSM phone for a trip to Eastern France and Switzerland. They're great to keep on top of emails and keeping contacts/calendar handy, but I found it made me make decisions too quickly and respond to things hastily.
After a year and a half, I got so tired of the added confusion from the "conveinence of email on the go" that I sold it on Ebay and bought the cheapest, ugliest phone they had.
Been happy ever since!
I have no idea how people can put up with IM and email on their phones.
God, I feel like such an old geezer saying all of this.
P.S. Internet access isn't free on any cell phone network.
of course the iPhone is FTW!!!

lol RES, I've had the first gen iPhone, the 3G iPhone and now have the 32GB 3GS.
I've had one since the first day they came out.
that's my personal phone but for work I choose to use a PALM Treo PRO.
I have to be reachable at all times and that includes email, IM's and text's.
corporate life is rough man.
Just cancel the dataplan after the first month. The reason that they might make you get one is because that phone may connect to the internet and update data on its own. As a result if you do not have a data plan it could cost you thousands. When I got my phone years ago, I could have them disable the internet if I did not want a data plan. But this was on Win mobile 4 or 5 and might not be possible anymore.

iirc you can disable the dataplan for blackberrys. AT&T makes the iPhone data plan mandatory. No big deal to me. I use the hell out of it since I have to. I'm fact, I'm in a verizon store on my iPhone. Lol.
You can't cancel the dataplan. My dad tried doing it for his Palm. I laughed. I told him straight up pay the price for wanting the convenience on your phone.

res if you only promise to put on fake tits, than you can hug me.
T-Mobile is the only carrier I know of that you can use a smartphone on their network with out having to pay for a data plan. I have to have one for the iphone on AT&T, they won't let me have just a phone with it. but an interesting fact I found out about AT&T, if your legally deaf, they can sell you the iphone for a lower amount with only the data plan. so you could get an iPhone cheaper and only 40 bucks a month but you have to be legally deaf lol.

You dont need a data plan for verizon smart phones, its just a deal between blackberry and verizon. My XV6800 was the highest end smart phone you could buy and it didnt require a data plan. I only had texting and calling. I liked the storm for the 5 min i used it to try and activate it.
And if you deactivate the plan after the first month it will totally turn off the whole phone.
Starting in December Verizon will require all smartphones to have a dataplan. Consider that insider information.

I'm guessing this is related to the LTE rollout they're doing? I heard they're going to use Vodaphone's strategy of sending long distance calls over VOIP using LTE to save costs.
LTE is a GSM technology for data transmission.

Look's like even the iPhone isn't safe.

If they make it a requirement for all smart phones to have a data plan then i might consider switching plans. Thats straight bull shit. I need microsoft office on my phone, but not the fucking internet. Fuck verizon.
So the new storm verizon gave my sister is shitting the bed now. Only a week old. That's number three. She wants an iPhone now. Lol.

It has a software update that allows video recorder now along with touchscreen keyboard so that would probably bump it up to number 3. This is a phone...just go try one out. :wtg:
BTW it ranks better then the palm pre and iphone

The OS for the G1 is great, but the phone itself par at best. This is also 3 months old. The pre was just released and didnt have enough seat time, and the 3GS wasnt released at the time.
