I would wait for the clouds to clear before buying the storm.
This was my first experience with Blackberry. I had heard a lot of good things about their product line. That was before the storm.
I have tried the storm and discovered it's many flaws as listed. This is Vista dejavue!! Understand that the main function is that this is a phone, while the bells and whistles are great they are not its main function. The bluetooth locks up, it reboots at will and the only response to these issues was to reboot and reinstall factory settings. I have spent many hours over the last six weeks working on these issues, avoiding accidents while pulling the battery to reboot unit. Finally I was told that I need to purchase a specific bluetooth that has been approved by Blackberry for the storm. What they did not know is that one of those recommended bluetooths was the first one I tried before buying another one and receiving a second new storm from Verizon replacing the first defective unit. Nothing worked! That is why I returned the phone to verizon and had my old Razor reactivated.
To be honest the only four people I know of that purchased the Storm (each with different needs) have all returned the storm. As far as I am concerned this unit was never tested properly and rushed to production and why Verizon would have marketed such a product with their reputation on the line just to compete with an iphone is beyond me. I personally would rather purchase an IPOD and have my business phone separate if it would resolve the issues. Most people and companies that subscribe to Verizon due so because of the service and coverage which is great. If anything this will hurt Verizon's reputation.
