It is more like a MIGRANE HEADACHE-and when they discountinue do you think they will offer an upgrade to help the idiots like me who had faith in them??? NO...they probably won't even give us ASPERIN for the headaches it caused. The touch screen is poor (although you can make it better by cutting a slice of a playing card and putting it under the battery), the WEB browser sucks, it has not WIFI, it constantly locks up requiring the remove battery reboot, it locks the radio in the OFF status and will not turn it on unless you reboot, and on and on....this is without a doubt the worst phone I have ever seen, in fact the worst device I am aware of. As soon as my company offers IPHONE support instead of Blackberry with the Enterprise Server only, I am going to throw my STORM out my car window when going 80MPH and watch in the rear view mirror!!!! RIM-fire the idiots who talked you into this and then go away............. I got this “thing” because I thought it would be somewhat like an IPHONE-is is not.

"Contact" organization sucks, the Internet is now unreadable, I recive missed phone call messages when I have 5 bars on the phone, it drops calls(at least 2 a day, it locks up and I need to pull the battery, screen fonts are way to small on some apps and cannot raise without scrolling from left to right just to read it, the camera function sucks because now I have to find what folder it put the pictures in, when looking at contacts say a mobil number it decides it needs to make it even bigger making the other numbers like home and work not visable, the wi-fi portion is cumberson in trying to locate an open or encrypted signal,will not download certain JPEGs from emails, etc....... Heres a clue.......test the update BEFORE SENDING IT OUT !!! Stuck with Blackberry that I can really only use for a phone and some email, the rest of it sucks. Here is hopeing you go out of business soon, Looks like your stock is starting to tank, (6/17/11)wonder why this train will not stop geniuses?

It was the slowest piece of crap I have ever seen. The touchscreen would not work properly at all. I was essentially without a phone for two days. I then traded it for a Curve. Have had no trouble with the click keys. They work great. But, the Curve is as slow as the Storm when texting or using internet. The ball keeps getting full of lint and dirt, and must be taken in for service every few weeks. Sometimes the battery is dead, even after charging all night. Blackberry is the worst. My friends with Droids and iphones never have problems at all. My contract will be over soon! Yay!!!! Had a Blackberry Storm for one weekend. It was the slowest piece of crap I have ever seen.

I agree with all the comments above, especially the lock ups and constant battery pulls. I loved my first blackberry curve and when my contract is up will go to Droid or Iphone. Blackberry should be held accountable for selling such crap. They have lost me as a consumer and I will tell everyone what I think of their crap product This is the worst phone i have ever owned.

Touch(Click really) screen unresponsive at times. Either blootooth or USB connection repeatedly fails. The voice dialling interupts music constantly. The voice dialling doesn't recognise any thing I say even after several training attempts. Any help available is bloody hopeless. This was a complete waste of money..I will not purchase any Blackberry product again. Storm is a piece of shit the music station stops partially through a song.

My only complaint on this phone is the crappy suretouch screen rim decided to slap on this piece of shit. Almost 99% of the time I pull it out of my pocket to call someone, I have to wait patiently for ~10min for it to calibrate and decide to work. If rim had placed an actual touchscreen on the first release, a whole lot of people would have had no complaints. Comparing it to an iphone? that's a bit harsh on blackberry's first touchscreen devce. Believe it or not, I’m writing this on a storm1.

I was so excited when I got it but now I realize what a total piece of cap it is. I constantly have to yank the battery. When I use it for over thirty minutes it becomes hotter than a toaster oven. The web browsing is slower than an ardvark. And watching youtube videos is impossible. It cuts out like every five seconds for five seconds. Why even give the phone internet capabilities? Can't wait til Oct. when I can upgrade to the droid x. I'm making no attempt to sell this. I'm taking a sledge hammer to this POS. Yeah I’ve had this phone for over a year.
