NEVER BUY IT

Phone owned for less than a month

Worst fone i'hv ever had... The worse phone for me in the last 10 years...
Company bought them for us instead of old palm Treo's. I tried to get used to it for a few weeeks, but I can't. Every time I have to use it, my words were something like "what a f..ng idiot designed that piece of cr..p".
Extremely slow.
Horrible microphones. Speech is not clear, every time my colleagues call me I have to ask what they just said.
You need both of your hands to use it. Keyboard is not precise, I always press the wrong button, even when my fingers do not look like sausages.
You cannot talk and put it bettwen your cheek and shoulder, it is falling down or your ear press something on keyboard.
And so on... Please do not get me wrong, I'm a tech, I deal with different equipment all the time, but this monster is beyond my abilities...
Finally I get my old Treo connected and I'm so happy :)

After having this phone for one year I'd have to say it is the worst. Slow connections. 80% of the time you have to click a button twice to three times to get it to respond.Browser is the worst, just use Opera. Much easier to use then BB browser.Battery pulls are constant thing you have to do.Software Version 5.0 update screwed up more than it cured. Had to reload older version to get it all working again.Leaving this phone this month for the new Nokia N900.

Horrible phone

This is by far the worst phone i have ever had. In the first 3 weeks of owning the phone i already went through 2 of them. The first one kept shutting off every 10 seconds and all of the buttons stopped working properly. The second storms touchpad got stuck making it useless. Now on my third one after having it for 6 months the touchpad cracked from me pressing the talk button making the talk button stuck. Also at least once a day i have to take the battery out of the phone due to the phone freezing. Every conversation i have on the phone, the person i talk to complains saying that they cannot hear what i am saying. The battery life sucks. it is overall a bad phone.
