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:

Seriously ? Windows OS vs BlackBerry OS ? yeah almost the same thing.

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.

Nevermind RIM made them pull the video. I hear its on Youtube though.

LOWFLYER

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:

The storm 2 is essentially the Storm 1 just a bit smaller and lighter with an enhanced touchscreen. As far as memory and camera and OS , it is pretty much just what the Storm 1 should have been.

Other sources are saying the release date for Verizon customers will be 10/15 and include OS 5.0 which is suppose to be a significant upgrade. I'm looking forward to the phone because I believe Verizon will make the same mistake with the Storm 2 that it did with Storm, releasing a handset that had a significant amount of problems. Because of this, I think (hope?) the Storm 2 will be free of most headaches when it is released. Unless the reviews slam the Storm 2, I will use my upgrade to get one.
