This statement here has me worried : )

I know it is still early but I have lost a little faith in VZW/RIM since the release of the Storm
.

Do keep us posted.

Hopefully they get these issues fixed before release.

The one question you can answer for us that will put most of us at ease is:

Does it have WiFi?!?!?!?!

Also I noticed that the charging port is on the right of the phone? Has that been the case with all BB's? It's a stupid question, I know, but the Storm is my first.

Thanks for the quick reply. How does the phone feel in your hand? Is it sturdy like it has some weight to it or does it feel light and cheap?

I'm assuming the GPS will be unlocked. After the Storm had unlocked GPS, didn't Verizon go back and unlock GPS for the Curve and Pearl?

Thank you for taking some time to post pictures for us. One thing I don't seem to like is the keyboard. By the looks of the pictures, it appears the keyboard resembles a Pearl (flat keys). Can you confirm this? I was hoping to see a keyboard like the Curve with raised buttons. It may be the angle of the shot but this would be helpful if the types of buttons can be confirmed.

Thought I'd sum up the questions so it'd be easier if you wanted to answer + add a couple of my own.

1. Where did you get it/were you the one that bought it off of eBay?

2. Could you make a video showing various angles?

3. How does it feel in your hand?

4. Does the keyboard have flat keys?

5. Is it mini or micro USB?

6. What are the dimensions (if you wouldn't mind measuring).

Thanks

Cool cool, I just hope the OS gets a lot better before launch. But there is always that statement ringing in my head: "According to RIM's co-CEO Jim Balsillie, buggy smartphone OSes are "the new reality" because companies will rush to release the phones "by the skin of their teeth" both while the handsets are still relevant and before big sales days like "Black Friday."

*Sigh*

I had no doubt in mind I was going to buy the Niagara the day it releases but after reading somethings on here, I'm having second thoughts. I know it could still be a while before the device is officially released but after the recent devices being released with dysfunctional OSes I'm a bit skeptical.

How long does it typically take RIM to develope a os for a new device? Lookin at the storm there hasn't been a new official release for quite awhile now. I'm sure that I don't fully realize all that goes into os development, but it seems like with all the os that they do have that they wouldn't have to start from scratch when making one for a new model, that it would just tweaking a few things here and there to make it work for that particular device but I don't really know what I'm talking about lol.
