hellno 2. The sequel. Better (and dumber) than ever. Dude, you don’t disappoint.

Last time I checked and if you read the articles neither are anti verizon, nor anti blackberry, just the opposite in fact. Your continual blind fanboy cheering for everything verizon, everything blackberry and nothing else is humorous. There are no excuses, zero, for the Storm to be crippled and even less excuses for Blackberry fans such as you claim yourself to be to accept Blackberry’s being crippled by service providers.

bluehorseshoe, it’s one thing to point out things which are not the truth, but with you it’s all about throwing fits, getting your panties in knots, and showing your piss poor people skills over what really is the truth. There is no defending verizon’s factual crippling of smartphones like they are now doing with the Storm, taking advantage of customers and RIM. Too bad the iPhone has reduced RIM such a small player at ATT, with verizon’s constant crippling demands there in no way RIM will ever be able to shine with innovation. bluehorseshoe it’s time for you to wake up, grow up and learn when you haven’t a clue (like normal) to shut up you just might (doubtful) learn something. No Wi-Fi, no tri-band HSDPA on RIM’s flagship Storm is not a benefit to RIM nor it’s blackberry users. The crippling has yet again been brought to you by verizon, who’s always working against you, Until they get caught. The mindless newbs and fanboys making excuses for the truth helps no one.

The only thing that is crippled is your intelligence. You quote a site that is biased to the iPhone and AT&T. Read on and you’ll see. The majority of the readers there feel as such, and other blogs have pointed it out as well. BGR has lost some integrity based on their bias in some articles and I’ve had this discussion with BG as well. People are entitled to their opinion, but there’s a professional line when it comes to objective reporting. BG has a reputation of getting the inside info before most, and to uphold that reputation, non-biased reporting is expected if to be taken seriously.

Now, these comments coming from you are quite hysterical considering you work at Verizon. I understand you’re not a fan of theirs because of your affiliation with the union and issues with how VZW treats unions. BTW…how is your site doing? Do they know?

Verizon sells phones with WiFi. Do your due diligence before you start ranting like an uneducated fool. In addition, how would WiFi take a chunk out of their data pool when you get the data for free when you get the BlackBerry plan to begin with regarding the Storm, which is what they’re speaking about? Someone who buys a Storm isn’t going to ‘not’ get the BB plan, nor can they. AT&T forces you to purchase the data plan when you purchase the iPhone. Ever think one of the reasons wifi is included in the iPhone is because of the crappy coverage AT&T offers on their 3G network. How many people have trouble using the 3G service AT&T offers for iPhone users?

Yes, VZW looks to make a few bucks here and there, but what company doesn’t? AT&T should be in the spot light for offering a 3G service that people have issues using at times (too many users? Ooops, AT&T should have planned this out better then). I’m not even getting into the dropped calls, etc. And VZW has NOT crippled their GPS on the Storm, which you’ve always complained about in the past on past devices. If you want turn-by-turn directions spoken out, etc., then you subscribe to Navigator, just like you would with AT&T. Otherwise BB Maps and Google Maps will be unlocked.

As for the Storm, I’ll be the first to rip it if it sucks. I’m looking forward to see how RIM performs in their first device with a touch screen, and how the general public responds to a formidable player/phone vs. the Apple/iPhone machine. Will certainly be interesting.

PS – Ever work at Pathmark hellno? Hmmm…
