Default Storm!!

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

You mean you never sent text messages or never use BBM?

BBM is a million times better than text messaging IMO. I do some promotional work at clubs on weekends and a majority of BB users will just give me their PIN instead of number. And I am pretty surprised how many people have BB now.

I must have a few hundred PINs but not nearly as many phone numbers

Anyways.. back to controllers...

I've got the AC Jr. and I went with it because I didn't feel I would use/need the extra feature of email alert and webserver that come with the AC3 and AC3Pro... but now that they are releasing the new Apex line of controllers I might have a look at them...

The only other controller I would go with is the GHL Profilux... but that's just too expensive right now..

BBM is great, but yeah, people have to have a BB to make it work.

I hit such highs with text messages because I send to multiple recipients each time, each recipient = 1 text message. I usually send to 15 recipients at a time. So I guess the number was mis-leading. Regardless though I send a lot.

Any ideas where you leaning now for a controller?
