Blackberry Storm 2 9550 Unlocked pretty good phone

The Storm 2 is a pretty good phone, After experiencing problems with the original Blackberry Storm, Verizon eventually upgraded me to the Storm 2. I have to say that, for the most part, I have been satisfied with this phone. The touchscreen keyboard is only functional for me when it is in the wider landscape mode. When I try to type in the portrait mode, my fingers cannot hit the correct keys simply from the standpoint of spacing. The keys are just too close together. The one issue I experience consistently is when I try to hit the "a" button I instead get a "q" which I do find frustrating. From the standpoint of overall ease of use, this phone is pretty simple to operate. A good number of apps are available including internet based radio from Slacker, Pandora, and i-Heart radio. You can use an aux cable to connect the phone to your car's radio and play these stations through your sound system. The calendar function, contacts, and e-mail all work extremely well on this phone. Occasionally, the phone does freeze which requires a soft reset by removing the battery. For whatever reason, these issues seem to have been minimized over the past six months or so. After a somewhat rough start with the Storm line of phones, I would now have to say that I do enjoy the Storm 2. 

As a PDA (personal digital assistant), you like that you can store files and documents, access spreadsheets and work on these same spreadsheets as well. It holds a vast volume of contacts. Games and movies can be played on this particular PDA. Instant access to the internet is convenient and easy to use for someone always on the go. You can set up instant messaging on your phone, which is great for quick communication, and can sometimes be better and faster than texting. You can set up several personal email accounts on your phone and receive your emails through your phone, rather than having to access the internet constantly. The touch screen makes it easy to use, but sometimes difficult, because the touch screen features have a tendency to freeze up and letters and tabs are sometimes close together. RIM (research in motion) is constantly looking for smarter and faster technology. Picture quality is fairly good and takes good pictures; zooming in and out is easy to use. The video quality is fairly good. Internal storage is good, and the external storage can be upgraded to 16 gigabytes, maybe more. You can set up to have your PDA do visual voicemails, which means you no longer have to call in to your server to access them. And you can also set up voice commands. Overall, this phone is a good PDA to have. 

I've been using an iphone then a Blackberry 8520, so :

PROS : 

• it came with 16GB micro sd card from blue electronics. thats great!
• camera photos and video quality. 
• BB software stuffs: messengers, browsers, etc.

CONS :

• would be hard to write on the touchscreen virtual keyboard if you've ever used a normal qwerty keyboard. In general, iphone touchscreen much better than 9550 touchscreen.
• when you click something you really need to click it pressing down the screen like a button, that's weird. its the first touchscreen that really meant the click action. 
• this smartphone has 3G SINGLE BAND 2100.... too bad
