Ok lets hear it.
My Blackberry's screen went out today, after a year of constant abuse, and its time to upgrade to a new blackberry. I am torn, should I go with the blackberry storm? Did anybody receive one from Santa? How do you like it? Hate it? Regret it?
Ive heard that the processor is a little slow, but its still an incredible device.
Please Discuss....
(PS I am getting it TOMORROW so any feedback asap would be appreciated...)

I've had the Storm since release date (nov 21) and I love it. The screen is huge and cystal clear. It did take a week of getting used to the touch/click screen. They have updated the OS a few times to help with the once laggy processor. All in all I'd recommend it.

brought mine back lagged and froze up twice. OS is a nightmare if it don't want to work. Thank god it happend at the end of the 30 day trial. Verizon did not charge me the 30 dollar restock fee since it was a crap phone and i was not happy with it. Got the omina instead for me and the dare for my wife. Two great phones.

I gave one to one of my end users about 2 weeks ago. I spent a few hours playing with it and decided that it was OK. I still like the real buttons on the standard BB better, but the Storm seemed to work OK. I am debating getting one for myself in a few weeks.

ominia is the soooooo much better in OS and features. One of my buds has the bold. I should have gotten that but was enthralled with the idea of touch screen.

But the Ominia has Windows Mobile on it... and I have learned to hate anything windows-mobile.
I've played with one of these in the store and I'm just not a fan. Maybe it was bogged down by store customers constant abuse, but I the screen needed to be realigned and there was no way of doing it... you needed the touch interface to get to the right menu to align it, but it was the screen interface that needed aligning. Overall I was just very unimpressed with it, especially in comarison to the iPhone 3G, which I had for a number of months, but sold because the bill was too high.

wooowooowooo Not talking Iphone, i would love to have an iphone. But since we are with verizon i had to take the next best thing.
Like i said with the omnia i can not complain at all. Oh my god yes i was like microsoft product in a cell phone great now i can get the blue screen of death or maybe the red ring of death on it. i have no problems with responding to touch or aliment. A customer probably found it and messed with the aliment. The greatest idea about the omnia is i have already hacked its coding with exe. files and unlocked features verizon did not want users to have. Gotta love microsoft and its loopholes. And you can back up just about everything on the pc or your memory card.
***disclaimer i do not endorse anyone hacking and or modding an omnia***
