Wait for Storm 2 or ...
- Well, I'm just about at the "New Every Two Window". In two weeks I plan on trading in my old old Palm Treo 700p and replacing it with a Blackberry. I'm pretty sure I want the Storm but with the Tour comming out and the Storm 2 out there without a release date, I wanted to get an idea of what "everyone else" would do.
Close my eyes and get the Storm
Wait on the Storm 2
Go with the "safe bet" and get a Tour
Thoughts?

I expect that when I type anything on any device, I don't have to wait for the device to "catch up" to what I'm typing. Really that's my real pet peeve with the Storm.07-02-09 01:12 PMLike 0 - I suggest you wait. You then have to ask yourself how strongly you feel about a touch screen. Definitely play with various models at a VZW store. Folks sometimes make a decision based on specs. Nothing like a hands-on test drive.

- personally i love my storm.. however.. that doesnt mean she's without her flaws. the sure press screen is without a doubt my most beloved feature of the love of my life.. with that said; with there still being questions on the actual feel of the storm 2 (i.e. true press) and the tour not having a touch screen at all, your really talking about 3 very different devices.. if solely based on the way you will physically enter information.. i'd wait until i could at least get my hands on all three.. hope that helps07-02-09 01:57 PMLike 0
- Thanks all. I think I am willing to deal with the virtual keyboard. I'm not that fast or accurate on my Treo so I may not be trading off much speed. I know I hate using .my kids ipod touch but I should be able to get used to it. I know how painful it was to go from my Palm TX to the small screen on the Treo. It will be nice to have a big screen again.
