Well If you have Verizon why not get the Curve, its reliable and always there when you need it!! *dnt kno what that had to do with it* lol, if not just stay with the Storm and what for the update cause im assuming its the lag issue on your storm. :/ Whateverr BB you choose is a great choice, cause its BB duhh!
2 Each their own...but quality of service first and phone second. What good is any phone if the service sucks?
If Verizon offers the best service to your area, consider the Curve until the Jupitor (or whatever it is called) arrives. If AT&T has the best service in your area ... then yeh, go back 2 the Bold.
....or....with some patience, who knows...issues with the Storm may get worked out. Personally, I think the whole Storm release is wild-bad,,,but RIM is usually good at taking care of problems.
