Ive had multiple goes with them. they fail in almost every regard. what kind of retard did they let loose at Rim to get them to design a phone like that. you see Storm the Minor issues is actually a major issue....its the Blackberry Storm. it does look rather nice though I will say but its so annoying to use. they never did anything better than the Bold. I dont think they will for a long time...would be nice if it had better buttons and battery life though.</p> Hahaha the storm is an epic fail of a phone.

If you have an iphone that's cool but at the present time without any doubt the Storm is a more well rounded handheld .It was just stupid of RIM to release it before it was ready just for the holidays .</p> cruz1022 Obviously you haven’t been informed about the software updates for the Storm .Almost every issue has been fixed .Remaining issues are very minor and most would say not noticeable.

But if you watch this commercial, and you just want the latest and "best" technology and you see this commercial. It will make you wanna get a blackberry storm.

The Storm is nowhere near where it should be and has a LOOOOONGS way to go.</p> It’s a great marketing commercial and I wish it would have played during the superbowl hah, I still think that the competition of RIM that you should compare the iPhone with is the Bold and 8900 for now even if they aren’t touch screen.

Maybe it’s just that I’m so used to the iPhone’s hella responsive screen that the clicking thing on the Storm just makes things too hard for me.

All I can say is I'm glad I switched. I will admit I went to test the Storm out and I completely did not like that button feel. I was trying to figure out what it reminded me of and now I know what you can compare it to. If some of you guys are old enough to remember the old Texas Instruments calculators that taught you addition subtraction multiplication and division! It felt just like when I was pushing those buttons 25 years ago. All I can say is good luck with that. LOL.</p> First of all let me start by saying I’m an Iphone owner coming from having BBs for the past few years. All I can say is I’m glad I switched.

Why don't they try to get it right first then praise apple while showing that they can do it better. Assuming that someone can.</p> Why do other phone manufactures think that talking down the iPhone and apple while unsucesfully copying the very thing tthey try to rip apart is a good idea.
