Purchased the Storm 2 weeks ago, and figure i check it out, and if i didnt like it for whatever reason, i have 30-days to return it. Coming from the 8330 curve, texting isnt as fast/accurate, and it was one of the main reason i looked into dropping the Storm, and going for Tmobile's 8900.
Just came back from the Tmobile store, and was told that all the 8900's were sold out. I did get to mess with it for a while though. Nice phone, with similar features to that of the storm, but it just felt too small. Even in comparison with the Curve 8330. That was the first strike. The second was the fact that the phone was only available for Tmobile. So i though to myself "do i really want to leave such a reliable network like verizon, and switch over to tmobile for a phone that verizon will probably get within a few months anyway?" Nah.
Aside from the texting, i actually love the storm. Im gonna stick it out for another few weeks and see how it goes. Worst case scenario, i'll just go back to the 8330 curve.
Wooo! Congrats. I had the Voyager before the Storm and when i looked back, it was hard to get in the texting-swing of it. Then a few weeks later I was a texting storm, so hopefully you'll be back to your full texting self in a few weeks!
but really, glad you're giving it a chance. it's kind of aggravating to see people who only have it a couple days and talk all kinds of sh!t about it. If all else fails you'll still be in the BB family!
