RIM's Storm is a Washout

Today i brought my storm back and got a verizon 8330 curve.
I was new to Blackberry (and touchscreen keyboards) so I was excited to get a storm.
It was a horrible experience trying type on it. I practiced for 2 weeks and just couldnt do it. But I learned the blackberry OS and fell in love with features. (BTW, I was the 3rd person returning a storm today at the Verizon store.)
The curves keyboard looks small but i can type on it with VERY FEW mistakes. It is a pleasure to reply to emails (couldnt with the storm) and navigation is soooo much easier with a trackball than with sliding your fingers around the storm then depressing the whole face.

Storm tried to be an iphone and it just idnt make it. LOVE RIMhowever, and will be a crackberry addict in about 2 days.

Buy the curve. Forget the storm.

Hope this helps you.

Getting Cash into Sirius XM's Coffers

I own 30000 sh and for me to pay a one time fee of 10 or 20 dollars makes all the sense in the world. I am all for it. Even if you only own 1000 shares, what is 1o bucks to protect your 900 investment? This is really a no brainer.
AND, I would absolutely pay in advance for service. I know I will be a user for years to come and if SIRI can use my $$ now, I would be HONORED to pay them now. If everybody felt this way, we could say FU to everybody and have a great service along with a great investment.

LETS DO IT!!!! The publicity would be unbelievable!!!!!

Bullish Citi and Bearish Goldman Weigh In on Sirius XM

Connorport: What leads you to believe The Vicar is not a millionaire? (However you define the term).

If the Vicar were a millionairre he wouldn't be here lurking this site and this discussion. My guess, he is someone who craves attention and owns maybe $500 worth of stock (Probably bought 100 sh. at $5.00).

Lets just all ignore him once and for all and then maybe he will just leave the board leaving relevant comments and usefull information.

Bullish Citi and Bearish Goldman Weigh In on Sirius XM

I, too, believe in Siri. But my question is: If some larger company buys Siri (hostile takeover, whatever) and the price of the new company goes up, do we (existing shareholders of Siri) partake in the new company's price per share?

Sirius XM Family Plan Subscriptions Are Well Worth Chasing

I also have a few friends on my account. Sirius is the winner because they have extra revenue and it didnt cost them anything. I did all the work of promoting it.
In my case I just charge them annually after Sirius charges my credit card. Everybody is a winner so I don't look at it as a scam.

Merger Watch: Sirius and XM

Well said, gekko13.
Corruption at is best. What we as Americans should do is NOT vote ANY of the incumbents back into office. NONE OF THEM.

We truly need CHANGE. True, by voting for 100% of NEW people for congressman, senators, etc. we may indeed lose some good ones. BUT the message would be crystal clear. And, given the fact than a majority of these people do not listen to their consituents and vote the way THEY (or the Lobbies) want, we still would come out ahead.

A radical idea but one that at least is worth considering. 100% change. Clean up Washington.

What does everybody think?

Merger Watch: Sirius and XM

It is really very simple to understand. Martin already had one other FCC commissioner voting for the merger to happen. Adelstein KNOWS that Commissioner Tate will vote for it as well bringing the majority to 3 in favor and 2 against. So, knowing this, Adelstein beats Tate to the punch by coming out with his ridiculous demands. He looks good to the NAB and is seen as justifying all the money the NAB has been throwing his way. He knows he has lost and he knows Tate will be the swing vote. So he is being unduly "harsh" in order to look good.

The stock went up 18 cents today because most people know the merger will absolutely happen. When Tate finally ("officially") agrees to the merger with few if any more restrictions than their currently exists, then watch Siri go nuts. I cant wait!!!

As far as Adelstein and the other FCC commissioners go, I hope they are recognized for what they are, and how worthless they have made the FCC as an organization. Now EVERYBODY knows how corrupt and inept this gov't agency is. What a shame!!

GO SIRI !! Go XM!!!
