This MUST be the worst phone I have ever had. Slow, crashes sometimes, but that could be the twitter app.
Screen is not sensitive enough, and pressing it sometimes shifts where you click. The on-screen keyboard is a joke. Battery life is so so, not too shabby.

Slow and quirky. Bad for those with fat fingers and I can't find a way to prevent it making "helpful" hints during typing.
Other than those issues, I like the phone and use it daily to track news, weather and travel. Hope software is upgraded to version 6, soon, to fix annoying browser behavior.

Seeing a lot of Storms around lately...
Not sure what's changed, but suddenly seen a LOT more people with Storms around town over the past week or so. Could it be because Verizon dropped the price to make room for the Storm 2? Or maybe just a coincidence?

OS 5.0.0.323 makes the storm a bagazillion times better. Yes, a bagazillion
I am running 5.0.0.323 on my Storm and it is a whole new phone. I have never disliked the phone, but I did see its weaknesses, as any phone has. My only real complaint was that at times it was very slow. Well now it is amazing. The Updated OS is Superior to what the phone was released with and everything that had been released as of yet. I was contemplating getting a new phone, and the droid is mighty tempting, but with the OS refresh, I just don't want to anymore. If this was the OS...

BlackBerry Storm 2 in October?
So I'm due for a new phone next month and I decided I'm going to stick with Verizon. I also decided I'm going to get a Storm despite the bad (mixed) reviews. I started doing some research today and found random posts/forums/articles on the Storm 2 coming out soon. I went to my local VZW store and asked an associate about it. He said it was coming but could not confirm when or what will be different. Big help, I know. I've read it might have wi-fi and they have done away with the...

Does the Blackberry Storm really Suck?
I have never heard someone on the web saying that the Storm is a good device or it works good.. no "GOOD" words are linked with the storm... and everyone says i returned mine and saw ppl returning their storm back to Verizon. But i have friends who use the STORM... does it really suck? if not then why this HATE?

5.0.0.140 firmware makes it much better, sort of...
Been running the beta 5.0.0.140 firmware on my Storm for a little over a week now and overall I'd say its an improvement. Actually, some stuff is totally broken but at least I can see that the phone will get much better when the final version of the 5.0 software releases. Big improvements in moving between screens (nice animation added to transitions), the call screen is much nicer. The icons are small along the bottom so you dont press the speakerphone or mute when holding the phone against...

Wish I could actually add my review link here..
Don't know what constitutes an "authorized" site, but my re-posted review of this phone from my blog is rated the #1 most helpful on amazon.com. http://www.danstechreviews.com/?p=41 Maybe someone can read it :p

Will the BB Bold ever come to verizon
I am a loyal BlackBerry fan/user and fell in love with this device when I went to play with it at an AT&T store this past spring. Anybody have any thoughts if or when it is going to be coming over to Verizon? A Verizon BlackBerry with WiFi would be killer!

The Change We Need
Blackberry makes outstanding devices, but I think many people agree that the Blackberry Storm could be a lot better. What do you think went wrong with the storm, and what do you think needs to change for the next version?

Storm without SurePress?
So do you guys think that the next storm with come without the SurePress screen? Do you think this would help it gain popularity? I know someone from RIM was saying that SurePress was here to stay but they did not say in what capacity that would be.

Is it Really that bad?
I haven't personally used this device but i have heard about it from friends. Some say its great and others say it's barely usable. So I want to hear from people who have it and use it daily how is it? Have there been any updates that fixed your problems?

I want Pac Man for the Storm!
I wish Namco would release Pac Man and Ms. Pac Man with the swipe controls for the Storm. If you are reading this and can do something about it, please make it happen!

Why is there so much hate for this great phone?
I switched to the Blackberry Storm from a well-loved Treo 650. I was ready for a change, and, since my mother-in-law works for Verizon Corporate, I was sort of obligated to stick with my carrier. I thought about getting the Curve, but I saw the Storm previews and thought I'd give it a try. I got one fully expecting to have issues with it, and was surprised at how much better of a smartphone it was than any other smartphone I'd tried, iPhone included. I know it takes a little time to get...

The Essential Storm Screen Fix™
Hate your Storm? Find the screen mushy and unresponsive? Maybe it's been dropped from a small height and suddenly the corners of the screen no long recognize touch at all? Fear not, you can fix your Storm - and make it better than ever! The Storm screen sits over a single button. When the screen isn't pressing the button properly, it stops registering touch - and it makes the Storm feel like the crappiest phone ever. Tools you're going to need: -A slim sharp blade like an Xacto -A...
