The Storm will soon be mine...I just placed my order!
- So, after doing my research and weighing the pros and cons, I have decided to buy a Storm. A few things to consider:
1) I really like the Verizon network over all others, so I wasn't planning to switch.
2) Today was the day that I became eligible for my "new-every-2" upgrade, so after that discount and the rebate, it only cost my $99.
3)I'm upgrading from the LG EnV2 and I've never owned a BlackBerry device previously. I've always wanted a nice PDA/Smartphone.
I personally feel that the Storm is the best Verizon has to offer at this time, based on what I was looking for. Though I know it has it's bugs/issues, I am confident that most of them will be resolved in time. I've played with one a few times before and aside from the sluggish OS/occasional lag, I thought it was a neat device. I'm hoping I made the right decision. I think I did. Can anyone give me any kind of reassurance?
Also, since I'm new to the world of BlackBerry, can anyone offer any tips/advice?12-17-08 04:03 PMLike 0 - Read the stickies at the top of this thread! And also the blackberry 101 which you can find at the top of the page

Congrats on your purchase man it seems like you and i will have our hands full (literally) tomorrow, enjoy , I know i will be. I have a Ghost Armor in the mail for me so that should be here in a few days to protect this sexy piece of technology. Also i wish us both good luck with no screen issues and smooth sailing let me know how it goes ill be sure to be on here ranting on how sweet it is.
My brother just got one and he loves his thats what really sold me on it then just the fact that such an amazing company like RIM made it, It has so much potential to be even better in the future which is hard to imagine. Well have fun Fantom12-17-08 10:10 PMLike 0 -

- You know, I gotta tell ya that the best thing you can do is read everthing on this website, and play with your phone constantly. I am an addict... yes thats right ladies and gentlemen, I am addicted to my blackberry. When I die, you will have to bury my bb with me...
Also- the storm, well, again, I love this thing. I haven't had any of the problems that folks are talking about on here. I suspect it is just a matter of luck really, but hey I will take it anyway I can get it.
Congrats on your order. Please let us know how things are going for ya after you get your new baby....12-18-08 09:53 AMLike 0 - Mine is almost here i am dieing with anticipation right now as soon as my door bell rings i will be making a mad dash to the door lol.
