    Ok so today my screen literally fell out of the storm and was hanging by the wire. called around to all three verizons in the area one had one left , rushed there and tested it out.... the click is garbages the bottom half is flawless but the top half is ****, so it seems to that either you have to deal with someone what of a click , or dust , and i want neither .... very close to going to a curve and just calling it good... or maybe just maybe , the omnia ..ugh ...

    You have a lot of posts so I assume you know a lot about BB's despite only having a Blackberry for 1+ months. It suprises me that you would even debate between a curve and an Omnia?! What gives?

    No doubt about it the Curve is bad a**. Of course I am still in love with my 8703. If RIM had have put a camera on it I would probably still only have one Blackberry (not. Love my Storm but you know first love and all). Sorry your having so much trouble :-( Like S3th13 said....Curve.....Curve.....Curve. My opinion the Omnia is a POS. What's with the lipstick stylus?

    yeah that lipstick stylus is junk lol , and i want a curve but the internet is garbage ..... and thats no good. i need a fast nice internet , and i just dont know if the curve can cut it lol, honestly i am afraid to go back to a full qwerty physical keyboard my last 4 phones have all been touch screen ... < storm,voyager,iphone,instinct > so idk .

    Sooks....you can't leave....you are like one of the original stormers. Got mine because of people like you.

    In all seriousness - I can understand your situation. I feel pretty lucky with mine so far (about three weeks), but it has been quite frustrating at times for me and I have only had 1. Good luck with the next phone.

    Let me be the first to call BS.

    5 replacements?

    With the last one having a screen literally fall out of the socket held only by a strand of wire?

    Yeah okay. Maybe you ought to look into getting one of those "rugged" phones.

    Or better yet, a calling card. You can submerge those babies and they'll keep on ticking.

    sooks my man! finally talking sensible hahaha. Yeah get the Curve it's great. It's primative but it damn well works fast and efficiently. I got it went it first came out in May 08 not one problem at all. Well correction there is one problem 4.5 has a speaker phone blast bug. But it's really not all that bad.

    I got me a iPod Touch to satisfy my media and game addiction : ) best of both worlds.

    Sad to see you give up the storm. I'm sorry you've had such bad luck, I've only had one replacement and I've had it since it was out, and my problem was Software, not even hardware. But, I would get the Curve, or the new 8900 Curve(since that is coming out for Verizon, correct?)

    But, I know you are very knowledgeable with the Storm, so I'm sad to see you leave it.

    But, good luck with whatever phone you do end up getting.

    Oh ok. Well, I have friends with both the Curve(8300) and the BB global phone or something like that(the 8830) and they are both great phones, very popular, and they work really well as I've seen.

    But again, sad to see you go, you've helped me so much with the Storm, and you are very knowledgeable, so, even though you are leaving the storm, hopefully you will be around the Storm forum every once in a while to see whats going on, and maybe even reconsider when some hardware updates come out or something.

    I got my degree in PHDBB, a certified Doc I had to do some surgery and post op on my Curve on Tmo so I maybe able to help you and your problem....give me a tube of super glue and a couple minutes with your Storm and I will fix one problem, the dust problem however I think your clicking problem would have amplified greatly.
