BlackBerry Storm 9530
Quick Review - From Visiting Store Not Purchased
Cons
Interface
- Seems slow and clunky. It's hard to explain until you have one in your hand but it seems slow to respond, you find yourself waiting between 1-5 seconds sometimes and don't try to do too many things at once, it only takes longer.

I just came home from the North Brunswick, NJ store and played with one as well. I also spoke to a VZW rep behond the counter. The reason for the lagging is because the phone has a lot of pre loaded aps which eat the phone memory and making it slower for this reason. I liked the browser, which is much better than the EVDO on my Moto Q.
The ONLY thing that is holding me back on this phone is the push touch for messaging. I wish that it was a simple touch like on the iphone. I agree that the landscape to portrait reacion is slow. I was told that it is like this on the iphone as well.
I was in the Toms River, NJ store across from the Ocean County Mall and found the same thing as the original poster. It did seem laggy. But I also think this could change with upgrades from RIM. All in all positive and this is from somebody who has no intention of getting the Storm at present (I use a different carrier). I do think its by far the best phone that VZW carry's. Good luck to all of those who get it.
