    Why would I want this over the Storm? Isn't all bashing done since they've updated the firmware? What's still wrong with it?

    The non-tactile keyboard is still wrong with it, IMO. Though I know that's a total personal-preference thing.

    I've been waiting for a decent VZW business phone for what seems like forever. I heard about this a while ago. Glad to see it's finally coming to fruition.

    @IHateYourKids:


    I hate to disagree with you here (actually, I love to) but while VZW has always been a step or two behind the more GSMey providers in terms of business[/all] phones, they've had good Blackberries for quite some time. Maybe not as good as the Bold, but that's still a pretty recent release.

    But can it reciever e-mail without leaving computer on with that stupid re-director. Palm pre, come over to verizon...


    (note: this is for a work phone, many people around here bypass a treo and get BB only to discover the whole leave your computer on thing, which apparently is too hard for them understand and wonder where their mail is at)

    ???????


    If you ever needed the redirector then either you or your company is using it wrong.


    I had a Blackberry back in 2001 and I think I had to use the redirector once or twice for some reason that I can't possibly remember because that was 8 years ago. But then again, the BB also ran on a double-A battery.

    Finnnallly.


    I was so excited about the Storm, until a couple of my friends got it.. Then back to the old 8830 for me.


    It kills me that VZW has the best service, but uses damn CDMA. (And yes, I mean best service in my area and yes, I've owned ATT BBs for work and used them side-by-side with VZW BBs, so I'm not a random nut).

    @ScottRose: but it's that random nut that spices up my day. it's like a french fry in my onion rings (or tater tots). that random $20 in my pocket i find the next time i wear my jeans. seeing an ex that dumped get fat with a new boyfriend that's uglier than me. finding out it IS lupus on house. i guess what i am saying here is "ScottRose -- Will you be my random nut?"

    Niagara? So does Canada get the rights to it, or the USA?

    Does that imply that my storm won't work so great when I go abroad this May? It has a sim card in it...

    I wonder... were Motorola phones ever really THAT good, or did we just think they were because of their popularity in the early 90's? I have a Slvr candybar model and other than making phone calls, it really doesn't do anything else convenient for me.

    @surfer88: Motorola actually builds decent hardware,....unfortunately, gives the consumer end the short end of the stick. If you ever looked at their government equipment, it's actually top notch. Excellent build, reliability and usability....but then you look at their consumer line and think WTF WHY DID THEY DO THIS?

    I can see the headline already:


    "NIAGARA FALLS!!!"


    C'mon, that's too easy. Not to mention it looks like a garage door opener.

    Yeah. Motorola needs the vowels for this one.


    You can't have a phone with an "N", a "G", and an "R" and hope that people will pronounce it right.

    @OMG! Ponies!: I'm sure even with all the vowels in there, some redneck coming into the store still isn't going to be able to pronounce it right. If people can pronounce RAZR incorrectly, Niagra doesn't stand a chance.
