Wait for #2! The Storm 1 is a crapshoot on whether or not you'll get a good one at time of purchase. I love mine and I got lucky I guess, but don't get stuck with old hardware when the new stuff is right around the corner? They'll have had almost a year now to right some wrongs with the first one. As always good BB maintenance practices are vital in keeping any BB running smoothly, some more than others and I really think this is where the big disconnect is with a lot of BB customers who don't do research or read up on how to use the phone properly. "Smartphones" are different than "dumbphones" in that they run more like a computer than a cellphone and as such require shutting down of applications after use and soft resets on a daily/weekly basis to regain memory and performance.

This might tell you how to remove the battery so that it will work for more than a couple of hours :smileyhappy:

R you going to follow me to every thread? By the way, you're just conceding my point, and thank you for that. Win Mob and BB OS are very similar yes but we already knew that.........welcome to yesterday. :smileyindifferent:

Production is suppose to ramp up next month and Nov looks like a good date for release :smileywink:

BTW you can check out a Storm 2"ODIN" being used on the frontpage of Crackberry.

I saw a video of the Storm 2, don't remember where exactly. But I think all the buttons on the bottom of screen (phone,blackberry, escape,end) will be touchscreen. I could have waited for the Storm 2??? My 2-year contract would have ended in early winter, but I qualified for annual upgrade, so I grabbed the Storm. :smileyhappy:
