I got my deposit back from Best Buy - anyone else? or anyone return the Storm there?
I was at a Verizon store today. The demo models they had on display were running v4.7.0.65(Platform 4.0.0.76). It was a buggy mess. I went to Best Buy later to pick up my Storm and they had a working model there for me to try out. It was v4.7.0.65(Platform 4.0.0.82). This one only had a few bugs and was actually running pretty well. Shocking how Verizon stores (I've been to 3 different ones all have the .76 software running and all were extremely buggy, but the Best Buy store had .82 and it worked well.
Needless to say, I had a Storm box in my hand (the one I pre-ordered), but I got my deposit back. Just not good enough for my needs. I am probably going to go with a Bold.
By the way, while I was at Best Buy, one other guy was going through with the Storm purchase and one guy came in and returned the Storm he bought on Friday, along with a bunch of accessories.
p.s. the reps at the Verizon store were still acting like they didn't have a clue that there were problems with the Storm. One rep was giving a demo to a lady and he kept saying "This is really slow. There are definitely problems. Not sure why." The keyboard would not come up at all for any applications. I told them the known issues.
I returned mine to Best Buy
