Storm 2 poor build quality :(
- I have dropped mine in parking lots and on concrete- it still looks brand new. Guess you get what you pay for. Does this mean I can't take the $10 Rolex that I bought from the guy in the stained raincoat on the corner back because it is peeling and have Rolex give me a new one? I know quality when I see it....NOT!04-23-10 07:10 AMLike 0

Peeling problem was known since Bold, and I see it's still present.
Who ever droped it on concrete and say it didnt leave a mark I think he lies.
I know when you fell in love you can see only good points about the one you love, but fell in love with a phone, ridiculous.
Just try with your nail to scratch corrner of the plastic next to left and right side of the screen, and not only you can peel off metalic paint, also it bands so easily that it seems like you can brake it off with no sweat.
So, for all my BB loving fellas, dont you think it would be better to have real metal rim around the screen than metal battery cover?
And if someone know is there a custom body replacment (metalic), please let me know, thanks for repliesLast edited by Nedooo; 04-23-10 at 11:05 AM.

Try to stick your nail betven the side rim and the screen than try to flex the rim, and "voila" there you also have the hard (or not so hard) evidence. Fact.
P.S. Just flex it a little bit, dont brake it04-23-10 11:56 AMLike 0 - The facts are in front of my eyes, and you cant convince me with "facts".

People come on, if you all have it you can see it. In fact everything else is top noch, but this plastic is disaster.
Face the facts why is it so hard???
This makes me laugh04-23-10 12:28 PMLike 0 - I got my car new just few days ago, and the paint next to the hood is pealing of, smal bit for now, but that just shows how bad painting is used

Funny thing, all I can see is US of A boys replying.
Btw I'm from Europe, and I have vodafone branded device.

Cars get chipped and scratched, shoes get scuffed, watches scratch, jeans fade, and your phone will get marked up too. Suck it up
Besides that, either you got the one bad phone or you hit it with something (key, fingernail, etc) I actually though that trim piece was real metal, that's how well mine has held up.
You should see how my iphone looks lots of scratches.04-24-10 04:03 AMLike 0 - For people who can't handle the scratches on their phone...

- It's not protective foil, I removed them first day.
Black or "white" market it's the same product.
Oh, do I still hear voices from USA BB lovers, please grow up and face the facts.
Post something smart or dont post anything, as most of you posters here cant tell difference between plastic and metal, so your expertize is worthless :PLast edited by Nedooo; 04-24-10 at 09:11 AM.

Rather than take it back to where you purchased it you would rather just complain and bad mouth the product.

I know that it was reported few times, that Bold 9000 had same problem, so it's nothing new for the Blackberry. I don't know is this a lone problem, but I have my doubt's.
Wonder is there a way to lock this thread.04-24-10 10:48 AMLike 0 - I just pealed a bit of colour from the plastic on the right side of the screen with my nail, it's not pealing any more, and when I used plain micrifiber cloth to try to polish it, it was even worse, so I just took waterproof marker painted that edge, and that's it. Now it's almost unnoticable. What I noticed is that paint used is verry poor quality, I can live with that. I doubt that any of you have some "special" painted plastic around the screen.
