Day 1 and 2 with the Blackberry Storm
Tags :Blackberry
So yesterday upon arriving back from Lotusphere, a shiny device in a box was calling my name to test and see what it can do. I was weary of it after reading many postings But after much cajoling from certain admins (*cough* Troy), he did the switch. Ok, here we go to what happened.
Day 1
- Upset it had no case that came with it like other ones
- Didn't like the total weight at first
- I had played with one sooner so the keyboard was not a huge shocker
- Limited amount of themes (one isntalled), but I went with the default
- I was able to easily type, send mail, use the keyboard in landscape or portrait.
- Great integrations with Flickr, Facebook and many IM clients
- I am not sure what some of the things do yet, but I am getting there
- The speaker was cool and videos were nice on the larger screen
- I didn't like not being able to turn off the dings when it was out of the holster, pet peeve of mine. Just blink dammit
- Reception seemed very low
- But something was amiss
Day 2
- I loaded OS 4.7 and the interface got smoother
- Sametime 8.0.1 worked finally
- Reception got better, much better. More bars all the time
- Loading new apps was a breeze, same as yesterday
- I still am taking pictures and can't find them saved anywhere
- I started playing with the camera and other apps
- I still didn't like the weight but you get used to it like anything else
