I still can't understand why Apple continues to get bad press, even though all other mobile manufacturers appear to want to 'copy' what they are doing, but with a few extra bells and whistles.

Yes, the Storm release is interesting. The bigger problem however is that as long as Verizon, ATT etc think that they are the ones that should add value to the chain outside of being " just a carrier " rates will continue to be much higher than in the other western countries.]]>Mar 31st 2010 7:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/
People are not exactly copying Apple with this me thinks. Apple did great with the simplicity and design of the app store, thats true. On the other hand, they have a walled garden approach to content for their devices that just isnt very cool. Nobody is criticizing Apple for ease of use or design. Its the walled garden part. ( And the hypocrisy in patent disputes, and the use of words as magical to describe large Ipods)]]>Mar 31st 2010 7:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/Mar 31st 2010 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/
I cannot begin to explain to you the extent to which what you said was stupid. Just because your name is hated one, does not mean I will actually fulfill that dream of yours. I do not like the Iphone, correct. That does not have anything to do with the V Cast thing, which I described as being superfluous in the first comment. Nowhere did I comment on free vs not free...

I like to be able to install whatever I want on my device.

You, apparently, like to blurb kneejerk reactions on techblogs.

Apple may have made the app store popular, but there were application stores way before Apple made them popular. I do want to thank them for making them more uniformed than they were previously, however.]]>Mar 31st 2010 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/
Storm 2 is the best phone I've ever used, period! Been on it none stop last two weeks, I am extremely happy.
I don't know what people are talking about, battery pulls and freezes ? etc.
Never had any batter pulls nor lock ups/freezes ... not even once.

Screen is a joy to use, 5 mails accounts, google talk and yahoo running constantly, switching between Pandora and slacker (depending on the next coming song) .... handles everything like a champ...

It has a scheduled reboot every night while I am sleeping which btw I had to do it myself with iphone...

Despite verizon being pretty notorious for doing so in the past. ]]>Mar 31st 2010 8:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/
What ever happened to standardization?
Oh right, they want to cash in on that multi billion dollar cow, so now we got segregation. Too bad all of those trying to join in on the fun (verizon, att, samsung) do not support their own product.]]>Mar 31st 2010 8:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/
I'll check out the V-Cast app store, but I can't think that they're going to be releasing any compelling Verizon apps that aren't drop in replacements for apps in RIM's App World (example V Cast Song ID is pretty much the same functionality as Shazam) or tagged with a monthly fee. Could be wrong, we'll see.

That was enough for me to ditch Verizon and go to AT&T and get an iPhone. Couldn't be happier. Hoping for big things with the new iPhone!!!]]>Mar 31st 2010 8:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/Mar 31st 2010 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/
I use the Crackberry.com App Store, pretty good, but locks up fro time to time.
I use the official Blackberry World Store, pretty slow and limited.
Now Verizon will push this crap store to me.

So which one is the best? None. I'm eager to jump to Android when the Incredible drops (soon, I hope). ]]>Mar 31st 2010 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/Mar 31st 2010 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/Mar 31st 2010 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/
While I don't find this to be very useful because most smartphones these days have their own app stores, you can't really say Apple was the first to do it. Verizon has had a Vcast store for quite a while. All their old dumbphones had an app store where you could buy games, news apps, weather apps, etc.]]>Mar 31st 2010 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/verizons-v-cast-apps-store-is-a-go-first-on-blackberry-storm2/
