Grow up serious you are arguing over a phone...a phone. Some like the iphone and some dont...some like the Storm some dont..the iphone cant picture message and its on a crappy 3-G network ...the Storm was realesed today and some say its running a bit slow and has the weird shur-press. Personally im getting the Storm because of the Network. So stop acting like your in the third grade arguing who has the strongest dad...remember its just a phone.

I went to VZW and Circuit City... no phones, just demos.... after using the demo... the Storm is over... Verizon needs a BB Bold or Curve 2 with 3G... now... there were several unhappy customers... they decided to keep there current phone and wait for VZW to get it right

VZW needs to add a QWERTY BB that can compete with the BOLD.... I use the BB because it's provided by my company... I like the same feel with my personal phone... bring the BOLD to VZW

slow, lag, slow, my thumbs hurt, slow, lag, slow. It took around 7 to 10 minutes to boot up. I feel like I just picked up a computer from radio shack in the 1970s. So much potential, SOOOOO SAD!!!! I guess BOLD really is beautiful........

I hated it! I am a girl with acryllic nails, and the touch screen was impossible. I was so excited to preview the demo yesterday and I had already made plans to arrive at the store when it opened, but I was so dissappointed yesterday, there's no way I would ever buy it. The program was slow, it took about 40 seconds to switch between apps, and the rotating view of the screen didn't work (when you turn it sideways the screen display changes). This poor attempt at topping the i-phone was embarassing.

interesting since the storm uses the same touch technology as the iphone, minus multitouch. I'm calling shenanigans.

Find it funny that everyone is complaining they're not used to the surepress screen.... um duh... it's the first one of its kind, of coarse it will take some getting used to. Just like everyone had to get used to the flat touch screens that are so popular now. Can't blame a company for coming up with something to revolutionize the industry... after all isn't that why you guys are all so obsessed with apple?

I don't rwmeber anyone saying that they had to get use to the iphonevtouch screen when they used it and it was the first of it's kind. The voyager was my moms first touch screen phone and she wasn't complaining that it hurt her fingers or that it was too hard to use

I have sprint and I'm happy with the service and their selections. I WISH we could get the storm although I know that's not gonna happen. I really hope the phone does well with verizon users because to shut up iphone users. The world continues after the iphone. I've been reading about how much people don't like the SURePress but I think its an awesome program and would be nice to see that on other phones. I really hope those who actually take interest in the phone don't go in looking at the Storm as an Iphone they are CLEARLY two DIFFERENT products. Good Luck Verizon

too bad everyone (including you$ compared this to the iPhone. "I really hope that the phone does well with Verizon users because to shut up the iphone." don't get your hopes up because it doesn't look like that's going to happen anytime soon.

actually, they arent that much different, iphones make better business phones than multimedia phones, i had to learn that the hard way myself. thats why its rated one of the most recommended business phones on the market. and as far as multimedia phones, it donst even have videorecorder in it. if u want a touchscreen phone that plays music, get one that ISNT a smart phone. that way u dont need a $30 data package, u can just get a mediamax bundle for like 25, or 20 bucks a month. and still do all the things u want.
