I've used a couple of BlackBerry Storms and I agree with Anna - I don't like it at all. I currently have an iPhone and a BlackBerry Curve. The Storm's click screen doesn't allow you to type fast, and the touch screen is not nearly as responsive as my iPhone (nor can I type nearly as fast as I can on my iPhone). There's also a consistent problem with the corners of the screen being non-responsive, that people are solving my putting pieces of paper and business cards (can you believe this??) between the screen and battery. I'm too heavy a user of email to deal with issues like this on my blackberry - I'll be keeping my Curve.

Wow, really? I've never had any problems with mine at all, but it's a work (primarily email, and lots of it) device. What I dislike most about my Curve is the keyboard. If they had made the keys rounded instead of flat on the top it would make it much easier to type and differentiate one key from the other. Otherwise its been great.

i've been using BB Storm in 2 weeks now, getting like it everyday. Just updated the OS to .75 and run smoother & faster. I think it's just a matter of time until BB release the next & next update and it will be an excellent phone.
Just like any other phone, such as iPhone, of course it has bugs in first release.....then it will getting better and better, correct ?
And btw, I used iPhone for 2/3 weeks back then and sold it on Craigslist right away....I'd prefer BB Storm over iPhone...IMHO. And I have 3 friends who using iPhone that tried my BB Storm and they are thinking to move to BB Storm....*no kidding*

Wow, lotsa Storm haters on here!
I got mine on release day too and I love it. I upgraded the OS to .75 and it's much more responsive now. I'll agree with Masboy that just like any other devices, the first model is gonna be buggy for a while but in the end, everything will be smoothed out. Plus, I got the phone for $100 and 15% off of my monthly bill so I can't complain.
