Which controller?

[michika]

Melev over at RC uses his iPhone in conjunction with the Aquanotes app. and his controller, Neptune?, to monitor his system.

The RKE and I think the cheaper version of the RKE-Lite, both come with NET modules which allows distance monitoring via the internet.

I'm also a Blackberry user, Storm, however there are 0 apps out there for me that relate so I do everything via the internet.

How do you like the Storm? I have the Curve 8900 but I think I would have rather got the Storm now...

My Brother and a few friends all have the storm, and their overall consensus is very negative. I know a few of the complaints, like how slow it is from screen to screen. I purchased an iPhone around the same time my brother picked up his storm, which I think added to his dislike. Side by side comparison, well there is no comparison. The iPhone IMO is the way to go (Still deciding if I like Rogers or not). Blackberry's I like, just not the storm. I used to have the Curve 8330, for just over a year and I was very satisfied. Maybe when blackberrys apps store gets going it will help the storm catch up a bit to the apples. (Come to think of it the apps store should be open, or close).

Its not bad, but its not phenomenal either. The handset is good, its the software that has problems. Although I have heard it from a few trusty sources that Telus is looking to pick up the iPhone early fall. I'll be transitioning to the iPhone if they get it. The Storm is glitchy and slow overall, the graphics are nice, and the screen size is a nice upgrade from some of the older BBs. I do A LOT of texting (30K + in a month) along with tons of emails (~100 outgoing/day), and chatting. It works well for my needs, but other people find it lacks in other areas.

30,000 text's per MONTH?????? That's 1.44msgs per min for 43,200 consecutive mins............ That doesn't take into account the time when you are sleeping/eating/etc...............

Might wanna see a Dr...

I did a firmware update a while back and it is MUCH better now! Still not perfect but alot better. Telus is supposed to have GSM up and running by Christmas. It needs to be done for the Olympics so they can cash in on all of the visitors GSM phone$

Well I was told the new Curve was faster than the Storm so thats why I got it. I am pretty happy. I used to have the Curve 8330 and I liked it.

the reason I like BB though is for the Blackberry messenger. Many of my friends have BB's and so I can talk to them free and its faster than texting. I dont think Iphone has the messenger does it? And besides I know too many people with BB's. Its nice to be able to just get someones PIN and start talking to them through BBM.

I do like the Iphones too though

If you want a full on touchscreen phone.... Iphone is the way to go.

I love my BB Bold, but even I am considering jumping ship from BB and going to the Iphone... a decision I went against when I got the Bold.. Hindsight is 20/20 ... haha

iPhone on telus. That would be nice. I remember Bell and Telus announced sometime last year that they were going to build a joint GSM network. Other than that I have no idea. Would be nice to have telus coverage
