So who has bailed on the Storm?
- Would be interesting to do one of those graph surveys for Storm owners to see who have done the following:
1. Have already bailed
2. On their way to AT&T
3. One foot out the door
4. Unhappy but not leaving
5. Content where I'm at
Anyone know how to make this?05-19-09 08:51 PMLike 0 - I guess you could say i have one foot out the door. I'm tired of the Storm and im already saving money to buy the Tour when it comes out. The lag and the clicking and the lack of buttons is just too much for me to be paying for. I'm almost ready to buy a silver/white verizon curve for the time being until the Tour comes out.05-19-09 09:03 PMLike 0

- Unhappy but not leaving...
Not happy with the Storm...I want the Iphone but hate AT & T service. Waiting for Verizon to get in on the act!05-19-09 09:26 PMLike 0 - I will probably drop the Storm shortly, as there are just too many basic flaws to make it worthwhile.............I love the damn click though, so maybe I will give the Storm 2 a shot depending upon the reviews. As far as the OS, call quality, ease of use and dependability, Verizon simply gave me my Christmas goose early.......05-19-09 09:48 PMLike 0
- I beez a happy boy. Some peeps believe we who have Storms that are not problematic are either in denial or lying. Hehe.
Guess i lucked out with good hardware, and now with the best software setup for my phone, its a beautiful machine.
I'm not in denial. I'm not lying. When it was running .75 it was laggy and froze up. I've never said the Storm doesn't have issues; I've never bashed it either. I just did what i had to do to get it to work properly. I don't want or need an official. I pay my bill every month and that's all i need from VZW. I'm enjoyin my Stormie more everyday.

- I'm on the fence myself. While I don't "hate" the device, and truthfully find many of its attributes useful; I just would like more in a TouchScreen.
By more, I mean stability and speed. I don't think the Storm 2 will really be that much better performance wise. I think it's just an upgrade to the hardware.
We will see, I believe I will be running after the Tour, or the alike.
I'm half tempted to go back to the iPhone when third gen comes out.
1.5 time better battery life, Faster processor Larger memory.. etc
But blackberry's are just so damn addicting!!05-20-09 12:08 AMLike 0 - I myself don't have anything bad to say about the storm itself...just that it doesn't work right for me and what I want it to do. Yes, I've upgraded to all the leaks/hybrids etc etc and I guess it just wasn't in the cards.
After about a week of back and forth with VZW customer service and threatning to early terminate just to get out of the storm, I got a call from a "regional manager" today who decided he could "make an exception" and let me trade in my storm for whatever device I would like too. He also told me that a "OS upgrade is scheduled....." I then cut him off and said "please, no need to tell me that, as this so-called upgrade has been in the works for months."
Anyhow, I just wish the device would've worked out for me, but you can't have your cake and eat it too....05-20-09 12:50 AMLike 0 - Storm is an ok device but doesn't cut it for me. OS wise the Storm doesn't match the 8900, 9000 or even the 8220 and it needs some serious work and its crystal clear RIM won't be taking advantage of the Storms potential. RIM however makes great phones and I won't be leaving. Storm 2 should be a nice product IF RIM listened to what the first gen Stormers were complaining about.

The new os leaks and kd bustin out sick themes makes this phone always feel like it has something new to offer!
Problems? yeah. that's technology. Does it hamper usability? nah, love it05-20-09 09:20 AMLike 0 - When you start a thread you have the option to add a poll. That way, you can have a visual representation of what you posted.05-20-09 09:29 AMLike 0
