Never buy first generation anything... period!

(3.00 out of 5) by vchand on Sep 23, 2009

Pros: First touch screen Blackberry. Faster processing than other Blackberry devices at the time of release.

I was so excited when I got the Blackberry Storm 9530 smart phone on the day it was released (N ...

Skip this Blackberry!

(1.00 out of 5) by juline on Sep 7, 2009

What the non tech person needs to know

(4.00 out of 5) by jasperboy on Sep 1, 2009

Pros: Access to all forms of communication, wether you want them or not.
Cons: Touch screen takes some getting used to, poor ear and mouth piece.
The Bottom Line: If you have to have access to email, you might as well be able to see the screen.

I am not a phone guy! My previous cell phone was a Samsung unknown model that a friend gave me ...
