BlackBerry Storm 9530
Texting??? Data ???
Can someone tell me how it is text messaging using the storm? I currently have a VOYAGER and am thinking of switching to the STORM. Do I have to take the extra package for data with this? If so, what are the price ranges?

I use the Storm as my primary phone and also carry a Voyager for my second line. All things being equal, you will pay a few more dollars for the unlimited package offered for the Storm. You will lose "Get It Now," the T.V. feature, ringback tones if you utilize them, (You can get free ringtones at crackberry.com) and of course the flip keyboard. As far as texting goes, the Voyager is much faster and accurate and if you type a lot of messages, then you might find the BB slow & frustrating. The Voyager has a terrific keyboard! On the plus side, email retrieval, functionality, and program downloading make the phones incomparable...

Like Stormsurvivor said "Incomparable" is probably a good way of describing the two phones.
The Storm can do things on a smaller scale that a laptop for example can do. email, opening attachments, document editing, actual web surfing, ability to add programs, etc.
Without a data package you lose a good part of what the phone is about so I would recommend one if you purchase the Storm.
Texting will be a better experience on your Voyager, but as long as you aren...

The ability to do so is not really the issue here. The logic of foregoing the provisions of the data package would make the decision a "non-brainer." The cost of operating the phone without a package would be exhorbitant, and as Hawkeye mentioned, would negate features and attractions built into the package. For me, it would not even enter my mind to operate this phone in a limited manner.
My old moniker on this forum, "extremelunatic" would descibe anyone who would forego a feature-laden data plan... You wouldn't buy a Cadillac with an AM radio, would you?
