I’ve had my Blackberry Storm for a few months now and personally love it. I’m well aware that some critics, typically iPhone fanatics, hate the Storm. While I’ll be the first to admit the Storm is nowhere near a perfect smartphone or blackberry, there are great applications, tips and information available to help you get the most out of your Storm.
Helpful Blackberry Storm Forums/Sites
My go-to site for the Blackberry Storm is the Crackberry Blackberry Storm Forums. This is where the majority of the tips I’m publishing in this post originated from. It’s a community of Storm users sharing information that can greatly enhance your Storm experience. A few other forums and sites that may be helpful to you are BlackberryForums, Blackberry Blog, Mobile Crunch and RIMarkable.
