I hated the phone when I was running .75 but now, holy crap I'm glad I kept the phone. A new guy checked into work and had a storm and hated it. He never upgraded, was still running .75. I let him mess around with mine a few minutes and he completely changed his mind. Brought my laptop in the next day and updated his Storm to .151 with lyrc hybrid and hes a very happy camper now.
The performance of the phone has come along way since it was released. .151 runs wonderfully and it is very cool seeing the phone perform as it should.
The Storm is definitely coming into it's own now. I am still waiting for an OS update from Vodafone UK that compares with what .151 is supposed to be like (I'm one for official OS updates only). If/when that comes out, I will be the happiest Storm owner out there!!
I have to travel quite a bit and when I think of the many devices I used to carry around that the Storm singularly performs there is no way I would ever go without BB and Storm.
Best thing about the Storm is that it's a Blackberry ... and one that even I can type on.
