Slow and Cumbersome..
But i am one of the lucky ones.. whew (except customer service).
Ok so I was a verizon customer. very happy one at that. it hurt to leave. But sence Ive owed the g1 there's nothing on the verizon network that would bring me back..
I tried the storm at a verizon store.. Not impressed. I don't know the BB OS very well so it was even more of a hassle. slow and cumbersome is all i have to say about the OS. screen is nice but.. needs a lot of work!
Kinda like most the apps on the g1 market!
ha
enjoy the improving tech peeps!

Storm, IPhone 3G or Omnia, that is the question.......
The Storm was good, but not great. The browser is good, but not quite like IPhone. The video screen was awesome to say the least. It looks like HD on a phone. I didn't care for the push typing though. I like the touch of the IPhone.
I will test the Omnia, before making a final decision.
Right now, the IPhone is in the lead. I would hate to leave VZW ...

No Keyboard? And You Call This a BlackBerry?
Published: November 26, 2008 New York Times
Research in Motion (R.I.M.), the company that brought us the BlackBerry, has been on a roll lately. For a couple of years now, it’s delivered a series of gorgeous, functional, supremely reliable smartphones that, to this day, outsell even the much-adored iPhone.
The Storm can display a touch-screen Qwerty keyboard, above, or SureType keys.
Here’s a great example of the intelligence that drives R.I.M.: The phones all have simple, memorable, logical names instead of incomprehensible model numbers. There’s the BlackBerry Pearl (with a translucent trackball). The BlackBerry Flip (with a folding design). The BlackBerry Bold (with a stunning design and faux-leather ...

Good web browser comparison video
It pretty much just addresses speeds though and does not get into the ore advanced features of the iPhone like tabbed browsing.
One thing to pay attention to is how many times he has to click the screen each time he tries to activate the browser bar...and how long it takes for the keyboard to appear on the Storm.

Valid and not so valid issues/concerns with the Storm
Software: Very Valid
This is the most valid issue. Without working software the hardware is irrelevant. So far this phone scores an F for software as far as I am concerned. I do have faith that RIM will eventually make the software right if they can convince enough people to accept the physical design of the phone.
Once they get that issue fixed we can move on to lesser concerns.
Click screen usability: Valid
If you are a fast typist I...

Software downgrade and upcoming update...False rumor?
Author's note: There were rumors of a last minute software downgrade with an impending update coming, which is why we held off on publishing our review for a few days, but RIM has addressed the issue and this has turned out to be false. Still, we think they have to be working on something given how bad the menu runs. We are rating the device in its current state, but if there are any major upgrades that change the user experience we will update our review accordingly.
Big turn out for the Storm :lol:
I guess all their customers are at at&t stores buying iPhones!!!
They actually thought people would line up for it lol, sorry its no iphone haha
