Interesting.

I got one almost a month ago and, not to mince words, it´s pretty awful. The Bold is much better.

I was wondering how people would receive it. I had both generations of iPhones, and I think the whole huge morphing touchscreen is overrated. But that's just me.

I settled for the Fuze. It's ridiculous craziness.

Now I'm just waiting for the flexsible folding LCDs to come out.

I have the BB curve right now and was thinking about getting the storm. So there's mixed opinions?

I've got the Fuze's anorecsic cousin, the Touch Diamond. Loving it because it is for more or less words... a real smartphone!!! I can do everything, even remote desktop...

I have the BB Curve, and I think its great. I bought it about a month prior to the storm coming out. Ill let someone else pay for R&D and working out the kinks by the time Im ready for a touchscreen BB phone.

wrong section, but i didn't like the storm at first either but now that they updated it I like it a lot more now its faster and better IMO, so many people are saying its crap without even giving it a try it takes time to get use to just like any other phone. sure its not 100% perfect but neither was the iphone it took them to the second generation to fix everything and at least with the storm BB sends you updates so you don't have to buy a new one.

And plus i wouldn't ask for opinions here because most of the members here are iphone fanboys, or there to old for the whole touchscreen generation of phones (no offense to the older guys I'm just speaking the truth).

and in addition BB didn't make the storm for business purposes like most BB's are for, its more of a personal phone to have fun with.

If you are implying you would have had to buy a new iPhone to get updates, that's not at all true. The same software runs on both.

In fact, the 2nd gen iPhone suffered from far more glitches at launch than the 1st gen. iPhone.
