well. since you said the storm, I’m guessing you have verizon or are lookin to go verizon. Unless you need instant access to your email or always use data on your phone… its not all that worth it. I had one and don’t get me wrong, but RIM and Verizon make you pay for that sucker. an extra 30$ for your data plan that you have to have if you activate a blackberry on your plan. no ways around it.
