I just got the Original Storm 4 months ago, with a 2 year renewal of my contract... Well basically I called VZW today, and told them what a piece of crap that device was!
They decided that they would offer me the Storm 2 for $179.99, even though I just renewed in JULY! I am ecstatic! It's already ordered and on it's way now!
First the Storm 1 is not a piece of crap. It's a perfectly good blackberry. If you thought S1 was bad I doubt you will like S2. But good job of getting it for that price.

Yes the s1 was a garbage wrapped in a wonderful exterior. S2 rocks!

I agree with hookbill . The S1 is neither garbage or crap, I found it to be a great device. I loved mine , until it got stuck in selection mode one day .
I really feel sorry for the people who have had so many troubles with their S1 that they hate it. I guess I was a lucky one. I am still on my first S1 and have never needed service. Although I too did suffer through some software issues, it was never really bad. I have had phones that were bad and the Storm 1 was not.
Still today I know there are improvements to the software that must be made, but I am 90% happy with what I have now, and I am willing to wait for the next leak or software upgrade.
So rushing to the S2 is not immediately needed. I do want it. I will get it. But it is not like I need to rush to it because of problems with my S1. I am only going to do it because I am an electronics geek and I always have to have the newest things. So S2, I'm coming soon, but S1 I'll miss you. You were good to me.
I got the same deal last week. Emailed Verizon and they called me and offered me a new Storm 2. I sold my S1 (had since Feb) on ebay for $155. So I didn't pay much for my new S2.
After having the S2 for a week, I must say it is worlds better than the S1. After all the hybrids and OS leaks I got the S1 to work good, but the new Storm is just solid, no memory leaks, types great, etc
I am not putting down the S1, just that I am pleasently surprised at how well the S2 is. It was worth the early upgrade.

No battery pulls, my phone works great. My screen is straight. My LED hole looks kosher. I put my phone in my handbag with all my stuff, and my screen comes out intact, everytime. I just don't understand half of what I read here, as far as the problems folks are having. But I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I am absolutely amazed at how much I love this phone.
I have had S1 for a year now and i love it!!! am getting S2 in a couple of days woohooo! i think all phns will have glitches and if you know how to get around them you will be fine, got to love VZW
I had my Storm1 since Feb with little to no problems til the OS upgrade. I guess VZW decided it would be the right thing to do since I had 3 replacements overnighted to me in 4 days to let me have a Storm2 as a replacement. Oh and since the Fed-ex guy decided to ignore the garanteed 1030am delivery time on priority overnight shipping they also let me upgrade the other two phones on my account long before my ne2 time of next october. So my Storm2 was free and I got all my ne2 credits for the other two so I spent very little money on 3 devices....Like maybe $200 with new car chargers and stuff to get them going. YAY ME!
Actually, the S1 and S2 have virtually identical guts (aside from the screen and wifi). So not quite sure what you are trying to say.

This is like saying that a Mac and a Pc are virtually identical inside.....I guess if you mean they have circut boards it may be true but Im almost possative if you tore into the "guts" they are quite differant! hey however do have the same color green board in there.
