That is so true lol. I hardly bother with pros and cons anymore, I usually own my phones for 6-7 months at a time before selling and getting something else. I feel different with the Storm though, I actually REALLY like this phone. But who knows, I only signed a one year contract w/Verizon and the Palm Pre is coming out in a few months.Most of us will have newer "devices" by this time next year and arguing about their pros and cons once again.

Problems for me: The click screen manages to mute or speaker-fy my calls if I smile while talking on the phone. Calls are dropped randomly. Strange beep in the middle of a call, only to find that my ring tone had reverted to factory settings. Ring tone changed once again on it's own again today, and the SMS message tone disappeared completely. Sometimes I never receive notice of a beep or red light when I have a message. Slow to turn the orientation sometimes, and other times it's fast. It's starting to lag, yet I have NOTHING on the phone (1 pic, no videos, no music, no new ringtones, no docs.)
The camera? The worst. No rhyme or reason as to why it refuses to take a pic, but the endless focusing and that bright light that is blinding my friends, is bad. Then if it finally decides to take the pic? Well.. the shutter speed is so slow that everyone has moved by the time it takes the pic (it's like the olden days when people had to sit still for minutes to get their pic taken.)
Oh, and it freezes up at odd times, rendering the video camera fairly useless. There is no excuse for having to do battery pulls on a new phone.
The bluetooth (I've tried two so far) never seems to work right with the phone. I push the button to use the voice call feature and instead end up calling the last person I talked to (which got pretty funny because I just kept calling my Mom over and over by accident.) I set connect the bluetooth and it says they're connected and get the confirming beep, but when a call comes in... I'm back on the handset.
Too many things that don't work for me with the phone. I was SOO excited to get it! And I loved the calendar and task aspect, and the touch screen. But my phone is far from flawless, and will be exchanged for another PDA type phone, like a Curve.

Makes you just want to pick it up and squeeze it--do something, anything with it. And it's so functional. It seems there are so many places it can go and wonderful things it can do. I may find a new way to enjoy using it every single day! Yeah, my unit is rock solid, baby.01-18-09 09:16 PM
