Blackberry - Storm 9530 Cell Phone Review

I purchased the Blackberry Storm 9530 back in March.  I thought it was a great phone and very cuting edge.  I believe that is would very comparable to the iPhone.  I really enjoyed the phone at first but after a month or so it would the phone would freeze.  Any time it would freeze I would have to pull the battery from the back of the phone. 

The first update was better, but really did not fix any of the freezing issues.  It did did add a few features, but the freezing still made things pretty aggravating after a few times of use.  Blackberry just pushed out an update a few weeks ago and it made the world of a difference for this phone.  The new update has finally made the Blackberry storm 9530 very comparable to the iPhone. 

The way it glides and moved between apps and windows is awesome.  I really love this phone now.  I will recommend this phone to anyone who wants a touch screen but does not want to pay the price of an iPhone. 

Also, more applications are now being written for this phone.  It is also a good idea to check out crackberry for some great apps and information. 

One more thing, I have dropped this phone countless amount of times and it may take a day or two for it to get itself back together, but have yet to break or crack the screen.  I have also had a 8 month old suck on the phone and fully submerging the phone with liquid and after a day or so with the phone completely open (meaning take off the back of the phone and take out the battery and let air dry out the phone for about 24 hours) and it has bounced back.  I will admit I have a few little spots on the screen where it was wet, but it works nonetheless.
