<p>hmom5, I use that feature on my old model Blackberry, have for 2 years now. They have special software that loads on your computer then you just use a USB connector to connect the Blackberry and the computer, launch the software and connect. It is a little slower than broadband but faster than dial up. .</p>
<p>S2 had a bad experience with the Samsung Glyde (touchscreen) so he was very leery of the Storm. He got a Blackberry Curve for Christmas and loves it so far.<br>
DH works for a large corporation and we found that we got a corporate discount (20 %)for the Blackberry and the internet service (through Verizon) package. It never hurts to ask if your employer qualifies.</p>
