If this has been answered elsewhere please point me in the right direction.
Are there any photos of the phone app? I looked through the links in the first post but couldn't find any. I'm just curious, I'm surprised how much I like the iPhone phone app.
What are the apps like on the Storm? Do they look the same as existing BB apps or, because the Storm and Bold have better screens the apps are more graphically oriented. I guess what I'm asking is, how will the Facebook app on the Storm compare to the iPhone? I'll probably have to just wait and see but I'm hoping maybe there a review online somewhere that has this.
If you would have read #6 in the very first post of this thread you would have seen visual voicemail is confirmed. No word on city id yet. Crappy program if you ask me though. Not very accurate in the 30 day trial I used.
Any chance this visual voice mail would be free to storm users? Seems like kind it's pretty of stupid that verizon would promote this as a feature yet still make users pay extra for it. Granted it's only a few dollars a month ($3?), but it's free for the storm's major competitor (iPhone/AT&T).
I'm just being honest here, and I know a lot of people will think this is ridiculous, but the biggest thing I'm looking to find out is if the Storm will allow you to type out more than 160 characters in a text message. I don't need anyone to come on here and explain to me what SMS means and why RIM doesn't allow it in their past phones. I don't want to discuss why it's so important to me. I just want to know if anyone who has had a hands on or is going to the event tomorrow will check in on that for me. Thanks.

I would say virtually NONE unless it's included in the rumored new data calling plan for the Storm. They didn't give it to the Voyager users either even those on the Premium plan :-/

That's not a BB limitation that's a VZW limitation, and not just for BB's, so it's doubtful. CX or someone please feel free to correct me.

* Bold or Storm. Bold or Storm . . . MEH, one of each for the best of both words!
* My iPod is a Blackberry STORM ;-)
* The Blackberry Storm 9530 (Verizon) DOES NOT have WiFi -- PERIOD! If that's a deal breaker for you then don't get the phone.
* Confused about Blackberry voice and data plans?
