BlackBerry Storm (CDMA) / Reviews

I saw the commercials for the Storm2 and decided I had to have this phone (yep I'm a sucker for cool effects). So I called Verizon and asked about it. The Tele-Sales rep said to me why not just get the original storm, it now has the same OS but the only real difference is that the original storm doesn't have wi-fi. I don't use wi-fi anyhow so the deal sounded good as the phone was only 49.95 with a 2 year contract. I got the phone and couldn't have been more disappointed. The click keyboard is a hassle to use. It shouldn't take me 30 seconds to dial a number. Most of the apps cost extra money per month. The web browser didn't even work. The media player is fair and I have to say the phone is LOUD! When the phone goes from normal to landscape it takes too long. Loading music is a chore, the software convoluted and it just plain bad design. It should not take me 3 weeks to learn how to use a phone. I have had it under 30 days so I am turning it in and probably getting a Motorola Droid A855 Phone (Verizon Wireless) or Samsung Rogue SCH-U960 Phone, Black (Verizon Wireless). Stay away from this piece of junk.
