I am due an upgrade. Obvious choice is go for an iphone. But the 4g one is due out soon (not sure i like it TBH). Also i will have to pay for the handset and my price plan will increase. With all this in mind I am thinking of getting the BB Storm 2. No price plan increase and phone is free. lol no brainer i guess? Any other suggestions?

Opinions people.

Honestly, your best option is once youve decided what handset you fancy is to get on the vodafone forum and ask whats about, one of the moderators will contact you and sort something rather good out.

I got my upgrade from a shop as I got a fantastic deal, and then we managed to get the same deal for the Mrs on a new customer through the forum :)


The Bold 9700 is ace, I didnt like the touchscreen BB's

HTC hero ftw!

Although I do fancy an iphone, and the mrs is after the sony ericsson satio.

Few mates have the bb storm and reckon it's ace!

unless they have improved the Satios crashing problems, I'd give it a miss.

Nice one Stu. I am off to hunt down the forum now!!

EDIT: registered on the forum. Did you just simply post in the BB sub forum and ask about what deals were around then?

iPhone + jailbrake + cydia = all apps for free WIN.

Tbh after doing the above I see no reason to get any other phone. I know there not everyones cup of tea, but I think once you've had one you won't want anything else. The only thing which could be improved is the camera, but this is 5mp with the 4g.

Stuart, what crashing problems does the satio suffer from? Mrs is well set on getting one, and i'm not so keen forking out the cash if it's just gonna f*ck up.

go play with one in the store.... if it dosent slow down/crash on you within a couple of mins then youve done well lol.

I think they tried to do too much too soon. The newer Sony touchscreen thing is better

Update(ish)....

Following my thread on the VF forum, it seems a few people have had issues with the BB Storm 2. Hmmm. On looking into the BB abit more i'm wondering if i should maybe wait and see what the new 4G iphone brings lol might go for that. BUT with o2!! The deals with VF dont seem all that good in comparison!!
