BB Storm vs Iphone

We all love our Blackberry Phones. We all love our Iphones, but Verizon or RIM really, decided to combine the two. Guess what, THE STORM IS NOT POPPIN!! First of all, you couldn't even walk into a Verizon store to find one on display that you could play with. Second, when you did manage to find 1 out of the 500,000 people who actually bought one, you had a hard time even getting started. Third, you had to press down so hard you felt like you were breaking the phone. In the Wall Street Journal this week there was an article announcing the sales for The Storm. 500,000 units sold in one month compared to the Iphone who sold 2.4 mill in their first quarter. I have a quote from a Verizon Wireless employee. Correction, Verizon Wireless Corporate, that is.

"I'm not gonna front that joint is wack. I'm only holding it until the curve 2 comes out. The storm is garbage and it keeps freezing. Iphone is definitely a better phone.
Only thing good with Verizon is the reception, but their phones suck they get every phone last" -EF

You better not let your boss hear you talking trash. Tisk Tisk!

In a nutshell, stick with your Iphone or stick with your Curve, World edition, Bold or even if you still rocking the old VCR Blackberry.
Wait some time before you rock with the Storm.

“In today’s economy”.... Blah Blah

I get so annoyed when people say “In today’s economy”. Blah Blah…It’s the most overrated phrase for the year and people say it to make themselves seem so knowledgeable about what’s going on. What do you know about today’s economy? Do you even know what economy means? Do you know what stocks and bonds are and what the difference is? Do you know how your dollar impacts the US, let alone the world? No! You see that the price of Frosted Flakes went up and you complain about needing to go on a budget. Pick that price apart and find out why it is so high or low and where your money is going. People, wake up!! Stop using these phrases losely.
Become more knowledgeable about what’s going on today. Know what your options are for your money. Make your money work for you. Don’t keep cash around, you worked hard for it, so make sure it earns its keep. Pay yourself first. We’ve all heard that before. It’s your money. Try to understand the stock market as much as you can. It was set up so the “common” man would not understand, but don’t be “common”. Do your research and truly understand the words that are coming out of your mouth.
