They won't kill it, they'll just discontinue it.
There are no new devices being released with the Storm name, it's been revamped.

I guess my choice of word was a little off. But since no one caries the Storm anymore you would think they would get it off their Web Page. I'm not even sure the Storm 2 is even being sold now from the carriers.

They need to update their web page. Get the new models on their and dump the old ones. Very poor client experience from what I feel.

Verizon still sells the Storm 2 for 199 on a two-year contract. Go figure.

Why is the storm series still being sold? Why hasn't Rim fixed the flaws with the storm? This is just another form of consumer fruad! Why should consumers have to put up with faulty electronics?

The manufacturer and the reseller should take responsibility when devices have known defects.
