Stormie Weather

Ho's a few month back you might recall I took into my possession two new Blackberry Storms.

Well after several months of use it's official.
They suck.
For the first few months my BB was a nightmare, I kept trying to love it and at times did. Many, many calls to tech support later and one replacement, it appears that this phone is doomed.
Number 9 whom has the other BB was more pleased in the beginning. She never had the problems I did with the screen locking up or buttons not working.
Both phones did share one distinct quality.
The sound quality is quite possibly the worst I've experienced ever.
The only way I'm able to hear anyone is through the headset. Number 9 on the other hand uses hear speakerphone.
Speaking to Verizon has become a joke. Hell they don't give a shit.
Let's see if they care when I take my four (4) lines of service and $350.00 a month bill somewhere else.
Number 9 and I used Sprint before moving to Verizon. Which seemed like a good ideal at the time.
Does anyone have AT&T?
Put off getting an IPhone long enough. Any readers have any comments?

We've had ATT for a long time. No problems. Everyone has different phones. I, of course, have the simplest. The rest of the family has keyboards and cameras, etc. We have no limits - five phones = $180 a month. Worth every penny to keep track of the three kids and The Engineer.

I have a storm and I hate it, too! I would call it a piece of shit, but sometimes taking a shit is satisfying! As soon as my contract is up with verizon I will switch to Iphone... in 2025! I'm a sucker for an upgrade deal!

well, i would hold off on the iphone for a bit, b/c rumor has it that early 2010 will see carriers other than AT&T selling the iphone... considering how expensive/shitty their service is, i'd wait til you can get an iphone on another carrier w/ less-crowded 3G network.

i've always had t-mobile and just recently switched to the G1 "google phone"... i'm really happy w/ it and the android software really makes me happy. i avoid blackberries b/c they are windows-based which means, to me, that they are P.O.S.

if you DO get the iphone, i suggest you also go to the apple store and get the hard case that has an extra battery in it. it's expensive ($80), but worth it b/c the battery life on the iphone is not good.

I like my BB Curve. Verizon customer service has been good, too. No help here.

I have a BB (not sure which) with AT&T and have had no problems. The sound quality is great as well as reception! Love it! Had switched from TMobile - AT&T is so much better reception wise.

I've learned a lot in the last few years. One thing is my ability to keep moving forward regardless of what's happening around me.  My sister is terminal, a lifer.   She's now 46 and her youngest just turned 10.  6 years ago it was breast cancer and  lymph nodes. We had hoped it was all behind us but this was a hope we only wished for.  MD Anderson said two years.  I remain calm and steady, on the outside.  Inside I'm a flying superman with a wicked cape that doesn't keep me at a level altitude. I die with every bit of turbulence.  I will never breath a word of this to anyone, my mad ride in my head.  My Facebook post are generic.  This will now be my place to let it go. All of it.  Bill will never understand my thoughts on any of this. He's never even lost a parent. He still lives in the innocent world that everybody lives forever.  Sure people have survived this. Bob lost his sister and I read every post of his. It broke my h...

HOWDY!!

Is anybody out there???? Everyone has left the blogs for facebook, including me. Well I'm back for at least this post. I'm no longer driving a truck. Bill and I live in Monte Vista, a historic district within the city limits of San Antonio, Texas. Number 9 has moved to the Houston Area along with all her kids in tow. Texas was where we grew up and it appears we left for all the right reasons. Getting back to the neanderthal ways of life are a huge adjustment but trust me, I'm having a much easier time than #9. She has been bombarded by southern Baptist at every turn and it has been a trying time for her to readjust. Back in June I was hurt on the job in Ohio and required a 10 day hospital stay followed by several months of therapy. I'm just now almost back at where I began and hopefully by the middle of the new year, I'll be good as new again. Why the move??several. But the most important one?  well #9 went for her three month check up in Las Vegas back in ...

Oh gawd, What a week already. I did some things around the house but sleeping has become the norm, when I'm not eating. So. On the 26th, it will be one year since #9 shot across the sky in rocking light of fire. It was Friday, just about noon on that day when I whispered in her ear and ask if this was it. She said three words. I love you. Gone like that. On Friday that week she was in Phoenix at the Cancer Center of America. Walking, Talking and doing her thing. Although the news was shitty as hell and they said she would be needing to check in to hospice centers back in Texas, she walked to the airplane, flew back to Texas and walked to her car at the airport. She was a tough old broad as Mom would say. She called me on her journey home to tell me the news and what they had advised her to do. It was a tough talk but we had it. I drove over to see her for the weekend and knew when I left Sunday I would be back on Wednesday, which i did. When I got there Tuesday she was in...
