I only have the curve but was looking. Let me know how it works out for you especially with the update! I saw the palm pre from CES...
I origionaly had the curve (still do actually) and I loved it. Actually I was so happy with it I almost didn't want to upgrade to the Storm, but hell a touchscreen BlackBerry is just too cool to pass up!
I'm getting mine next week. Are you having trouble learning to use it because its your first berry or is it just harder to use than other berrys?
The storm is my third berry, following the 7100i (MikeBerry) and the Curve. What I'm finding difficult is simply hitting the right button at times, but since having it for 24 hrs I'm getting much better at it. Battery life, however, is not the same as a 6 month old heavily used Curve, so a car charger is on my to-buy list.
The operating system also seems to bog down at times. Now I'm not sure if thats me just turning EVERYTHING on at once and maxing the thing out (I've been known to do that before!
) but the OS (Atleast .75 build) seems slower than the Bold and even my Curve...But time will tell!
The "cool factor" of the phone hasn't worn off yet, I just love "clicking" it and the speaker is considerably louder than a Iphone. The screen quality in video mode is amazing, and the media player looks quite similar to the Iphone's. Actually its rather scary how similar the two phones are, considerably more than the other "Iphone clones"....
Signal, however, is less than on my Curve and the Storm is noticeably heavier than the Curve, possibly even heavier than the Bold as well. The unit, however, feels quite solid in my hand and I'd not test it to find out but I'd imagine that in the event of an accidental drop the unit would hold up, abit scratch it's shiny chrome edges....
My verdict? I'm giving it two weeks and if I still don't like it then Craigslist it goes.
