made in Mexico here.
Works pretty good except for low battery life.
running with no apps on, very few calls (2 maybe at the most) and only get 6-7 hours, then shuts off.

whatever that means
my screen clicks fine. i've disassembled before to seal the screen with electric tape per a thread here on cb. i noticed just a few specks top right/portrait after several weeks. it's barely noticeable so it doesn't really bother me. so far so good, haven't noticed any additional dust. this also appears to block out some of the light bleed around the screen in a dark room. alright. my storm doesn't look so "cheap" in the dark anymore. lol
response has improved from numerous leaked/hybrid OS updates. so i'm assuming the hardware is fine. software still has a way to go. can't wait.
Canada on the left and Mexico on the right. Any questions? LOL! In all fairness, Mexico has had a hard life. Apparently a nasty fall was not what the BlackBerry Doctor ordered!
Oh yeah, the Canadian is an original launch day and it's been good to me.
Edit: After I posted this I decided to investigate the dust issue and how it can happen. Since the screen on Mexico is cracked anyway and worthless I decided to peel off the top glass layer. Well, it doesn't take much. part of it was already separated (Probably from the fall), but the rest pretty much just popped right off. There is a very thin gasket in between that isn't really all that sticky. I can see where if the glass didn't get pressed on good and tight it would leave a gap and stuff could get in. One thing I want to do is experiment with maybe a silicone sealant on the broken display. One of the nice things about having a broken phone!
BTW, I finally figured out what some others were talking about with the space around the display. The Mexico phone had a significant amount more open space between the screen and the frame. I could clearly see the inner parts of the phone through the crack just above the hard keys. My Canadian Storm has very small gaps in comparison and I can't see down in there really.

Reason: edit
My first one was Canadian and was a crap. Constant reboot issues, and click screen problems. Went to the VZW store for a replacement and got a Hungarian one. Seems to be working great, no crashes yet, and no clicking issues.

Mexico... The screen clicks fine but feels a bit "mushy" and it also wiggles.
My first one was Canadian, sadly the OS froze up and being within 30 day's I just returned it for another one. I realized that was a mistake, the screen click was perfect and it didnt wiggle.
