So being broke this year didn't mean not getting a new gadget, as @Amazon has a promotion running today on cell phones. I got a brand new BlackBerry Storm2 9550 top of the line model for $0.99! That's less than a buck, plus NO sales tax! IF you were to (and you cant) find a deal like this at a retail store (the lowest I've found is $179.99) you still have to pay sales tax, which is a hefty number in Los Angeles, racking up at about 10% depending which city in the County you live in. This truly is the best bargain in cell phones Ive come across in a long time and they have other offers available. I will miss Sprint, but @Palms lack of build quality and lackadaisical responses to major issues plaguing the Pre & Pixis are just too much. The FINAL straw in my cell phone camels back follows: I arrived at my best friends house for Thanksgiving Dinner yesterday at 1:30PM & my @Palm #Pre battery which was FULLY charged was EMPTY by 6:30PM after taking a couple of pics, tweeting and showing my phone to a friend. Un-Frakking acceptable for a smart phone which I paid $200 for plus accessories. This phone STILL cant record video, doesn't have auto focus for the camera, has ZERO quality games and social media apps. Your loss @Palm. I'm happy to pay more for excellent service with @VZWOffers and get kick ass reliable service, high speeds, great build quality and access to hundreds of applications that I can truly use for my lifestyle.
I will update with an unboxing and a review of my phone (which is mine, not a PR unit)
