Hey guys, I recently bought my curve but I'm already looking at moving up
. I like the storm, its a cool looking phone. I was playing around on one in the Telus store and the screen didn't seem to pick up exactly where my finger was. I haven't had enough time to look through it all so I figured I'd ask. Do you think its worth the money for the phone? Or is it just popular because its touch?

For me; yes - it's well worth the money. My wife always said that she thought my blackberry was overcomplicated and "way more phone" than she would ever need.
She has had her Storm for a week now and is completely in love with the device
So for what it's worth, there are 2 happy Storm owners here in Illinois, USA.
Good luck!03-07-09 09:54 AM - i personally think my is worth the money... but then again, i bought it during the verizon/blackberry promo "buy one, get one". i sold my curve on ebay and made more than what i paid for the storm. so... to me it is worth it. there are things i miss about my curve (like buttons) but the apps for the storm and the overall features are lovely.Hey guys, I recently bought my curve but I'm already looking at moving up.

You will never know until you spend time with it what YOU think. I know what -I- thought BEFORE I had a storm. I was called a Storm hater, and while there are some serious drawbacks to the device, only YOU can judge if they are a deal breaker for YOU.
Don't get me wrong, I had a lot of fun telling people who thought the storm was god's gift to the wireless industry that they were high on Verizon Brownies and drunk on RIM kool-aide... (because they were...) .... but again, YOU have to decide for YOURSELF.
I think the analogy was made before, but this is like dating... if all you do is sit back and ask your buddies who have pretty girlfriends if they are happy with a pretty girlfriend... you will never get to experience it for yourself. Reading about it here is like p0rn... lots of fun, shows and tells you a lot, but you need a month of hands on to know how she feels to you.
You can look around plenty of places for pro/con comparisons of the Storm. One thing, you will NEVER be as fast at anything on a Storm as you are on a Curve or Bold, but you will look good while being slower and a little less reliable.Last edited by jdoc77; 03-07-09 at 11:21 AM.
