I read that Verizon is not going to carry the Storm 3 at this time. So I thought I would write about my dream for the next Verizon Storm:
* Obviously run OS 6.
* At least 1 GB of Application space. The Storm 1 has a gig of internal storage (not for apps), but it can only be used for media
No need for that, media cards are very inexpensive.
* Drop Surepress and just have it be a normal Touch Screen (like the Torch). Surepress seems to be a love it or hate it feature. Most other touch devices I have used are like the Torch.
* LTE
* Add a compass and make sure the motion sensors are ultra responsive, maybe give it gyros so it is like the iPhone.
* Add a Front Facing Camera. Maybe Skype would take advantage of this for video calls. Maybe BBM could be enhanced to use it.
* Tap to focus like the iPhone.
* Record better video. The current resolution is great (whatever matches the device's screen -- no need for HD). But maybe the compression could be a little nicer.
* Some video and photo editing built into the OS. At least Crop and Rotate and Save As for photos.
* Definitely needs to be multi-touch. Pinch zoom, etc...
* Add a proximity sensor so that the screen darkens and cheek dialing doesn't happen.
* The on-screen keyboard should show the key press in a pop-up just above where your finger touches the letter. Right now it turns blue right under the key. The iPhone and Droid phones I have seen actually pop the letter you are pressing into view right as you press it. (I guess this is in some builds already. But I have not seen it yet.)
* Allow multiple browsing windows with the new browser (not sure if OS6 supports that yet or not).
* A trackpad like the Torch for navigation and text selection would be a nice addition.
* Let videos play in either landscape or portrait mode depending on how you hold the device. (The video camera lets you record in either position, why not let it play in either position?)Last edited by NevadaJake; 11-04-10 at 03:56 PM. Reason: Added some more dream features.

Cut your nose off to spite your face or, find something you like and get it, but pontificating with irrational, uneducated opinions, does not make for a very good impression.
I found an image of the greatly anticipated Storm 3/4 for Verizon!

The "magic" of the iPhone is that even if the thing you tap on isnt in the center, it will focus on it. ("magic" is sarcastic, I don't care for the iPhone, I just like some of its features).Why does everyone always ask for Tap to Focus? The Storms already have it where you can put your finger on the screen to trigger a focus. WTF?
Haha! Very funny! If I wanted an iPhone, I'd buy oneI found an image of the greatly anticipated Storm 3/4 for Verizon!
I really like BlackBerry and don't like AT&T!11-03-10 09:56 PM - With the amount of times you reference iPhone or iPhone-like features, it would seem there's a phone in existence that already suit your needs.I read that Verizon is not going to carry the Storm 3 at this time.
