Anyone else remember these seeming huge?

[@Pray-For-Profits]

yes i was thinking the same thing now. now iphone 4 3.5inch seems very small but i remember when this BB 3.15inch was huuuge :))

[@ScottZ370]

Senator 3211 It really is mad how things change, I got a HTC Sensation back in 2011 or something and it was 4.3inches...people commented on it's size saying it was too big since everyone has Iphone 3GS/4 back then but even the HTC feels small in my hand

[@Pray-For-Profits]

+S Miller yeees right, things have changed drasticaly, now 4,5 inch is small, whats next? im really scared whats gonna happen in years

[@ComputerLearning0]

I remember my son telling me how overly huge my Storm was. He forgot all about it after seeing the Samsung MEGA that replaced it...

[@SimbaTheGreat]

Never thought it was huge then or now. I do remember appreciating the screen size compared to other cell phones but it was very pocketable

Whos here after watching the blackberry movie?

[@michaeljackson6106]

This phone reminds of one of the best times in my life. Yeah, I loved it also the WhatsApp with that 'by the time' huge keyboard. Now everything has changed. Phones are better but life is shitier.

[@danielk6840]

I liked that, too. I thought it to be a good idea for someone who is used to a physical keyboard and now uses a touch screen.

I still have my old Storm-1 stored away with the rest of my old cell-phones. I can remember thinking how cool this device was back when it came out. Today I can't believe I ever bought one. That goofy-ass floating screen and NO WiFi... what was I thinking? Oh well... live and learn. My Storm-1 is still in perfect condition but will undoubtedly forever remain stored away :>\

[@danielk6840]

Yea, no WiFi was really ... what was RIM thinking?

[@ComputerLearning0]

@@danielk6840 They wanted to keep you locked in to your cellular data plan.

[@danielk6840]

@@ComputerLearning0 Apparently, but they failed.

[@ComputerLearning0]

@@danielk6840 I made damn sure my next phone had WiFi. It was a shitty thing to do to leave out this feature when every other device included it. RIM knew exactly what they were doing and it ended up backfiring on them.

[@danielk6840]

@@ComputerLearning0 Yes, it's really weird and not very customer oriented, especially considering that all BB models that came before had WiFi.

[@dankeel3899]

Great comparison, one thing I would say that happens in a few of you videos is that you don't turn off the auto-dim on your devices. This looks slightly unprofessional and if you change it your videos will look a lot more polished.

[@NeoTechOps]

Watching this in 2024 because I remembered how much I wanted one of these when I was in high school.

[@heatherhutchinson3625]

3:57 "it wasn't that accurate, but it was quick." LOL

didn't age too well

[@WiseGuy02]

I had the storm 1 and got rid of it after my contact was up. I was sick of doing battery pulls to speed it up, and one of the emojis was incorrect. It was never fixed in any of the updates. I figured if they can't even fix that I'm done. Went to Android.

[@wickedmilitia271]

Blackberry storm 2 was such a beautiful phone for its time.

[@JMazterV112]

oooooohhhh the memories!!!! :(

[@Blobby_Hill]

The first time using a storm 1 it blew my simple mind. Back then all I owned was a trac phone.

[@todwcampbell]

I actually think the text impute on the Storm 1 is good. The Storm 2 seems to be an improvment, although not evident through your demonstration.

[@danielk6840]

Storm 2 was a great improvement over the Storm 1, too bad the latter already destroyed that models reputation. BTW, you do know that in the settings it was possible to change the keyboard so that the key your finger is on, would pop up above it, like on the iPhone or Samsung phone, right? Also, predictive typing is one of the first things I turn off.

[@MOTM1234]

[@MasterG753]

I miss BlackBerry. Life was simple back then.

[@arkvsi8142]

Should I buy one?

[@cssvt]

Jon, the 3G v. 1XEV is an Operating System change, not a Storm2 v. Storm1. Leaked versions of 5.0 OS for the Storm1 (prior to the official that was just recently pushed by Verizon) had 3G(bb) logos in them.

[@lumirpe5343]

OMG. Eleven years later...

[@PamelaAnn80]

Wow I remember the click click and the terrible lag on the original storm.

[@tahnolikessharing]

I agree. And I've actually never had a problem with dust getting in the cracks. Probably because I use a nice black gel casing.

[@Andrew-tw6pe]

This really brings me back to the Blackberry phase. Thank god I didn't buy into it.

[@andrew23215]

Actually there is a full portrait keyboard on both the storm and storm 2.

[@SonicXRulz4Eva]

@UltimateAnn No the Storm 1 (9500/9530) hasn't got WiFi. Buy the Storm 2 if you want WiFi. Plus my 9500 recently got the Black Screen!

[@arzo2000]

lol yeah that was bugging me too. It's obvious he isn't a BlackBerry owner. You gotta always hit the Back button :)

[@iiTzKrypt]

the storm 1 does say 3g with the blackberry symbol in corner cos mine does

[@c4k3two]

tbh this video could of been 30seconds long, him holding the two phones and going "yeah the storm two takes a giant dump on the first one, its a no brainer." and it fades out

[@Pinwormx]

Not a full keyboard in portrait? Dang.

I'm buying mine today

@@dhananugrah6002 - Owen Wilson

[@MitchellKuykendall]

one was made for canada and europe (9520) and the other was for verizon wireless (9550) they both have the same radios though so if you wanted either for use on tmobile or att or something either one will work after you get them unlocked.

[@wickedcurve]

Correct, you can have a full qwerty keyboard in portrait as well as suretype keyboard

[@MrHardcoreJustic]

i dont have a blackberry, but couldnt they of done all this in an update?

[@EVPpsycho]

@WoWmista I agree. I really really love the Storm aswell. I learned it like the back of my hand, and if my Balckberry can do it, I know it can. But it's SO slow. Sometimes the lock button doesn't work due to a bug in the system. Sometimes it will restart at whatever time. You'll be in the middle of a text and it just restarts. and its a damn long restart time. It's just been such a bad experience and i feel like I bought the Phone during its testing process. the storm 2 better perform well. :)

[@wukket]

I’m SO glad that our keyboards do not have two letters per key my god

[@labounti]

i wonder if all these test are done with the wireless network on storm 1 is set to 1xEV and NOT Global. For some reason "Global" is slower and set as default.

[@VAR1UM]

Am i watching this right? No apple products to compare??? Finally a video that makes sense! Although i wouldnt buy either of these. I have a HTC Imagio and love that thing! Review an android phone!

[@faceoff3315]

One Question the storm 2 USE GSM network like the BB Storm 1 ?

[@richcxx]

I loved my Storm back in the day haha

[@joker1811]

I don't see wat the big deal is. Maybe I just need to use the Storm 2. I've never had any major issues with my storm 1 or anything. The 5.0 software update has made it even better. Plus I have paper under my battery which makes the typing even better. Idk maybe I'm just lucky.

[@MrLee23666]

You say the Storm 1 Doesnt show the 3G with the blackberry logo and instead uses the traditional 1XEV ..... Your so wrong there. Im looking at my BB Storm 1 and it is showing the 3G with BB logo.. It might only be like that in the states though.

[@RAZGRIZ13456789]

Do you still have to "click" the screen on the storm 2

[@Imapancake22]

irk if u were being sarcasting about the email text thing because idk wut a blackberry is

[@Miny000000]

i don't think when you did the two together (tilting them) it was very accurate... as the one on the bottom will have rotated before the one on top :/

[@FerbyArisaka]

Ahh remembering the days i was at college, i like this phone actually had a nice camera that day 😄👍

[@shopafelic]

watched this video hoping to decipher whether it's worth the 1 month extra wait before Storm 2 is officially released on Vodafone Australia. Tried out Storm 1 in store and typing was horrendous compared to iphone. Still don't know whether to wait and check out the new typing on Storm 2..

[@OMTZ0]

wait is this jon??

[@J3dindahouse]

is it possible to view youtube videos on it directly fro the browser??

[@420kyle5]

Finally just saved up enough money to buy mine 😆

[@NUSORCA]

Was this video made before AppStore or google play were a thing?

[@skatblast]

Blackberry had there own app store

[@mattdotts]

that doesnt matter if ur in a spot where there is coverage.

[@pattycarljackson]

the storm does have letters that pop up when you press on them you have to go into menu cause mine does it.

[@SBeckerDTD]

You can change it in the settings.

[@tahnolikessharing]

I forgot the exact breakdown of the costs, but I have unlimited data coupled with 450 minutes (lowest amount of minutes), and my bills run me around $100 every month. There's no way of getting passed high costs when you have Verizon, everything costs money, especially the Blackberry. But it's a good phone, I've had mine since December, 2008, the first generation that is.

[@dankeel3899]

You can't really update the screen system, processer and other hardware through software.

[@xlacky1]

@wesTbruce it was only 180 the most in a verizon store. not 500 dollars

[@3bucko]

The tilt test was kind of biased. The storm 1 was tilted more and loaded faster going to the side, but when straightening, the storm 1 was still tilted.

[@tommy94612]

"egos is a rear" lol

[@donnel981]

i am confused with storm one and storm 2 because i taught that there are two types of storm 2 9550 and 9530

[@elibsika]

@choudu1234 if you dont have wifi its a Storm 1, and storm 1's csreen is moving realy annoying, can be get dust under the csreen, and the under 4 buttons are seperate from the screen, these are the nail reasons)))
