I am at the end of my contract with Big Red. I am a fan of the iPod Touch and have enjoyed it for a year now. I have decided not to switch to AT&T and go with the Storm with V. I played with one for 2 hours in the store and hated the typing interface compared to my iPod. I understand that the iinstore Storm was on OS .75 and there are many leaked versions to use. I am wondering if I should wait for the Storm 2 or not. I have heard September but that really means December.
Hello and welcome to crackberry! Have you previously owned a blackberry or a smartphone? I mean if you plan on sticking with Verizon for now why not go ahead a get the storm. It's a great phone I think. Yes it needs some work but I mean the iPhone didn't come out swinging either lol At least this way you have 30 days to take it back right? And you will always have someone here at crackberry to help you!
When it comes to any electronics and especially mobile devices, you will always be waiting for the next new device. The storm 2 release date is very much speculation at this point. Look at the 9630 (Tour?) that was supposed to come out in May and now its supposed to be July. Maybe that's the device for you. Remember you always have the 30 day return period.
Once you get use to actually "clicking" typing is not bad. Like everyone says you have 30 days. I never had a touch screen phone before the Storm, I had the Curve, it took a few days and a couple os upgrades and now I can type pretty fast. Get the Storm I love mine.

I took your advise and got it today. I will upgrade the OS tonite. I am getting used to the typing. I had an Ipod and the letter appeared above your finger before you type it to be sure it is the correct one. I will miss that.
