I know 3 people that bought it and the next day returned it. They hated it and said it just didn't function.

Yea all I've heard about the storm has been negative. I have the Curve and was thinking about upgrading, but after trying the Storm out first hand and hearing all of the negative reviews on it, I think I'll wait for something a little better/more reliable....

I have the Storm, and I like it. It takes a lot of getting used to. I came from the 8830 World Edition.

They keep updating the OS, so I am confident it will be fine--I'd wait a month or so though.
You need to have it at least 2-3 weeks before making a decision on whether to keep it though-it has a lot of cool things, but again it needs getting used to.

At this point I would recommend it only if you have patience. I also have connections at Verizon Wireless if that would help.

And while on topic, I got clothes for Christmas--and stuff I actually needed too--plus a decal for my car that says "Georgetown Dad"--that was my favorite! My daughter knows how to get to me :)

[Smartass Flyboy]

Santa apparently didn't think I was good enough for the D80 :( But I did get my Dremmel kit 8) that I wanted (just in time for me to complete more Warhammer models before ICON) and a new waffle iron :D , plus the usual coolection of clothes and gadgets. Oh well there's always the upcomming Presidents Day sales. :borat:

[flyboy 28]

New socks, the new Rush DVD (awesome) and a new camera bag. I'm happy. :)

[Lezam]

I got a wallet. I also won a raffle for a $180 Best Buy giftcard :D

[Iberia A340-600]

I can't complain about the Storm, it functions and serves it purpose for me as a phone. However if I was a professional using it for my job I would suggest waiting until the Blackberry Bold comes out for Verizon or until an updated version of the Storm is out. Typing is a little harder then I would like it to be but its manageable.

I'm seriously shocked at how comfortable they are. I put them on and they required practically zero breaking-in. zip-up, tie 'em tight, and when I bend my ankle....zero resistance or discomfort. Amazing.

You're right, great shirts. I've had others for a near with constant abuse from me, and they don't wear down or anything. Soft, not-itchy. Sure it's just a t-shirt, but people who know me know how picky I get with shirts.

And apparently with your soap and body lotion too! :wink:

[PhilDernerJr]

If you saw my face the morning after a hockey game, you'd understand why the special lotion! I look like a big frosted flake.
