BlackBerry forum: Blackberry Storm 2

I was not happy at all with the Blackberry Storm, it did not perform very well. I think I needed more memory but by that point I had had it with it. It was slow and would not change pages and would not allow me into websites at all hardly. I could access the first page only. This was as good as my Razor which was not what I had expected. I just shut off the account due to the disappointment that I had with the Storm. I would not recommend this cell phone at all. Maybe if you immediatly up the memory it would be an awesome phone, I will admit I did not do that.

My advice is to avoid the Storm until significant improvements are made. I am generally an early adopter, so I am familiar with the bugs and glitches that come with a new technology. Unfortunately, The Storm may be the most frustrating electronic devices I have used. The list of issues is too long to share them all, but here are a few examples. Perhaps most frustrating is that the touch screen is very unreliable. Even after much practice and taking great care, the wrong key is selected far too often. It is virtually impossible to text with any speed. Also, the phone has an infuriating habit of freezing without warning or explanation. I am very disappointed that the product was released before it was ready.

My wife was a verizon customer for years and up graded to the storm.
Because of her work needed e-mail on the go and extensive contact lists and calender. Sync to her computer the sales man said all will be great. 20+ hours on the phone to techincal help over the course of 28 days led to anger.
She is now on my ATT plan with an I-phone 3g 16g. 2 hours after opening the box her smile was pretty big. One week later she cannot say enough good for this phone
