Default Gave up the storm for the droid but....

At the end of last year I went from my storm to the droid. Droid died last week so i had to go back to my storm as a back up. I will admit is was very easy to fall right back into the storm. It very intuitive and its PHONE functionality is far better than the droid. My storm never failed on me to the point were i need to switch back to another phone well waiting for a replacement.

Well my replacement droid is here, but I'm hesitant to switch back to my droid from my old storm. I know I will shortly only because of the speed of the internet, os and other features on my droid. why dose the storm have to be so slow. even the storm 2 doesn't compare in speed to the droid. sad day

The browser is one feature that I hope RIM does fix in OS6... and for us S1 users hopefully in a future OS5 update. What is the point of having 3G if the browser is only .5G

funny thing is the storm 2 was still not up to snuff, if u will. It was just a big disappointment. I was in need of faster phone for work (yes, work requires having a functional, timely, internet application. believe it or not RIM)

With that being said, I have yet to switch back to my droid. even though my refurbished droid is sitting right here. Damned intuitive design and easy of use can not be understated. I yell at the storm less than I do at the droid lol. Unless, of course, I'm trying to do anything on the net

There needs to be a middle ground...you need the ease of access of the BB Os with the multimedia abilities of the android Os...hopefully Os6 will move in that direction.

From everything I've heard so far in regards to S3 that is what RIM is attempting to do.
