The Storm is over.

[Lib_Tech]

I wanted to thank everyone here at Crackberry for being helpful community, As I needed a lot of help since the 4.7.0.75 software was launched with the Storm.

I have decided to Jump over to the Android ship when the HTC Incredible launches.

Again, a big thank you to all.

It was more like a wind gust... Crackberry was by far the best thing to come from my one and quite possibly only BB device. Thank baby Jesus that they have an android section as I'm probably heading that direction myself.

I will always be a blackberry kid

Same here. I'm due for an upgrade in June and am also going to go with the Incredible. The Storm had so much potential. It just never lived up to it.

[TheTusch]

Do you plan to sell your Storm on the Marketplace here?

[mobiledevice]

I'm in the same boat. Maybe I'll wait for the supersonic, but I'm thinking the incredible will be the phone that sinks my blackberry.

droids are all hype, iphones are more for kids bb's is where its at.

Psh, I left my S1 back in November 09.

I am going with a droid. After being a die hard BB user I have had it with my BB Storm. Went to the Verizon store and actually was able to show them my error message and the "hour glass of death". The tech actually had the BB Storm and has been having the same issues. He too was going to make the droid jump.
BB seems to have fallen asleep at the wheel...

I just pre ordered the HTC Incredible.

Thanks again crackberry for all the links to the leaked / hacked roms.

I dont plan on going back to a blackberry anytime soon. I have such a bad taste in my mouth from my storm.

I cant wait to make a video of me stomping my bb storm to death.

I would like to do a video montage of other people destroying their blackberry storms.

That would be a nice f-u to blackberry for making such a piece of beta sh1t.

pm me if your willing to video yourself destroying your storm....

No problems with my Storm. It's a keeper until the Storm 3. I don't know what could be causing people to hate theirs so much. Oh well.

Could be a number of reasons (and I don't want to mention them). The Storm is far from over (S3 anyone?) and mine continues to perform well for my needs.

I will however take a look at other platforms and see if they are also suitable for my lifestyle.

My storm has been great as well, but it still has plenty of problems and reasons I most likely will be jumping ship to the Incredible.

Here are a few:
128mb of application memory. - Once upon a time this was plenty, but with richer more powerful applications coming out, this is not enough anymore.
Poor memory management. - This is much better than it was upon release, but still not up to par
Truncated emails - really? its 2010, this is just sad.
Lack of a webkit browser. - yes i know it is coming, but that doesn't mean I have to wait for it.
Screen - It has one button. Sure it works well most of the time, but your typing speed is greatly limited by the hardware

That's all for now. Again, the storm was great.. but RIM is just not moving fast enough for myself and many other's liking.

Most of those problems aren't Storm specific though.
