well, im getting one friday morning. im pretty excited, my plan will be 80 dollars with unlimited texts, insurance, 2500 minutes, and unlimited data email whatever the fuck else is on that unlimited data/blackberry plan that verizon makes you get. thats with a 15% discount through work (hartford hospital).

it looks pretty dope, and will relieve my nearly broken samsung gleam, as well as my ipod touch from wifi haha. so now at the hospital i will only have to carry one thing, and it should actually get service as opposed to my shit phone i have now. plus, with the 3.2mp camera i can take pictures of peoples broken appendages in high quality and post them on the internet!

anyways my point is who else wants/is getting one? ill try to post a review on friday for those unsure.

I wanted to quote that better than it turned out, but it killed the formatting. Anyways, you said you didn't like the browser. Look up Opera Mini Beta, supposedly it is a HUGE improvement for the BB browser. It is much faster and easier to use and displays pages alot better. In future OS upgrades I'm sure the BB browser will be fine tuned, but for right now the Opera Mini browser is supposedly the shit.

As for your screen not pressing, you should talk to Verizon and complain. You will have to wait until either Dec. 5th or Dec. 15th if you can work out to getting a new phone, but from what people are saying the screen click is a hit or miss. Some storms click with ease, others have corners that REALLY SUCK. It sounds like yours might be one of the ones that isn't working too well and Verizon should warranty it for you.

You also may want to check out crackberry and look up some tips. There are a couple settings you can change to make the Storm work drastically better.
