Its so slow and buggy right now, you may want to wait for the next version release.

I think the Storm sucks, all the hype for a crappy phone.

thejohnremus

eh, everyone new version of anything sucks/buggy/hasproblems/etc


I'm actually quite interested in seeing what the next version, or even firmware updates have in store...

I've been using a treo 650 for almost three years and while it's still working just fine, I want to upgrade

Curious, based on what criteria is your assessment on?

yea..the apps are a bit slow. but verizon is releasing a update for the phone which will make everything work more "normal"..

When I test it at the verizon, it was hella slow, it froze, and it takes a while to go from page to page and I didn't like how it texts because you actually click the screen so you can't text that fast. I didn't like scrolling, it's not like the iphone.

Basically, I had high expectations because I'm currently with verizon and my contract is over in january and I was hoping this phone will be better than the iphone so I can stick with verizon, but I guess not. Plus I read a lot of reviews, and they say that phone sucks!

Like mentioned in this thread, there is probably a firmware coming out to fix it soon.

If I am not mistaken, when the iphone first came out - it too was buggy to begin with. Hoping RIM puts out some good updates soon.

Yes, kinetic scrolling is not on the Storm; hoping it will be though.

I like the clicking feature of the screen as it helps avoid false-positive inputs. You can highlight by hovering over the key & execute by pressing in the screen. It's not perfect right now - which again might improve with updates.

For my use, the Storm is better than an iPhone as it can integrate with an Exchange Server/BES better & has support for VPN & other corporate infrastructure protocols/applications.

The iPhone does not integrate well with Exchange & screws up calendaring on the user's mailbox. For a corporate user, I would recommend the Storm over the iPhone. For a general user, not integrating with an Exchange Server/BES; I would recommend the iPhone.
