It's supposed to ship on the 17th and arrive on the 19th.

I have a couple of questions.

1) will it come with the proper software? Will it be slow like most have complained theres were.

2) did I make the right decision?

3) Is web browsing much improved on the Storm? Over the Curve.

1) If it doesn't have the latest OS you will be able to upgrade over the air.
2) I don't know, did you?
3) I didn't have a Curve, but I had an 8830 and to me the web browsing is a little better but I don't really use my phone to browse the web. 99% of the time I have my MacBook Pro with me and since you can use the Storm or any other BlackBerry device as a wireless modem I opt to just browse the internet using my MacBook Pro with the Storm as a wireless modem.

#3- Yes. Browsing on the Curve was a pain in the ***. Storm is much improved

Is the lagging problem still around or have subsequent updates corrected the problem?

[anon(52425)]

.75 is a nice improvement.

One more question, does anyone know if Verizon is ahead or behind in sending out new Storms?

They told me it would be arriving on the 19th, is that actually going to happen?

I just ordered mine too, and although Verizon said they ship by the 17th, the order status says i should receive about 2-3 business days.
I don't want to get my hopes up, but damn i'm excited!

I think you made a good decision. I've had many of Verizon's Blackberries, from the 7250, to the 8830, the 8330, and now the Storm. I'm confident that, if not now, then after a few software updates, the Storm will be the same reliable Blackberry I'm accustomed to. Time will tell!

Anyone else know if they are behind or ahead?
