The BlackBerry Storm is by far the worst phone Ive ever owned

. I got the Storm on release day and am currently on my 4th replacement phone. Each phone I have had has been plagued with horrible software issues and terrible build quality. My most recent Storm was replaced because of dust under the screen.
Ive contacted Verizon and complained about how the Storm is unusable, citing its frequent lock ups and need for several battery pulls per day. The customer service rep agreed with me and wrote a note on my account so that I could go to the store and exchange my Storm for different phone model. The service rep said my best option would be to switch to the Curve. When I asked about the Omnia he said "i do not recommend it"

which I found shocking but anyway.
Since Verizon doesnt currently offer a phone that has the same features as the Storm ie 3g plus business capabilities that BlackBerry offers I figured I would wait till they got new phones to switch. However seeing that new phones wont be out for at least 2 more months I dont think I can last that long with the Storm.
Tomorrow I am going to call Verizon to see if they will temporarily give me a Curve to use until they get new phones that offer the features promised by the Storm, but with software and hardware that make the phone useable.
Thoughts?
Is anyone else having endless problems with the Storm (random restarts, lock ups, having to batt pull)?
