I have one got it the day it came out.

I can't say I like it very much it really needs a software upgrade I think it will be good but right now it' still very buggy. I do like the screen size for browsing canreef while I'm out but thats about it. I keep thinking about going back to my curve.

Hopefully they will finally release an update to fix some of the bugs.

I got mine the day they finaly released here after the delays. I realy like it and am totaly happy with it. sure there are some I wish it did..... but your going to get that with any phone. I haven't seen any of the bugs other people report, and after some tweeking with the settings it can keep up to my two finger typing. GPS works awsome, used it to find places in kamloops the other weekend. other than that I uses it mostly for e-mail, then as a phone. it is simple to set up bluetooth on.

I got one a few weeks ago and am still getting used to it. I haven't noticed any glitches either except that when I speak on the phone my cheek tends to hit the mute button and apparently there'll be updates to remedy that as well as whatever other issues people may have. iPhone has had 6-8 updates already so give it a bit of time. Some compare the iPhone to a "toy" while the BB Storm is considered a "tool". Whatever; it depends on the user really.

Hmm I wonder if its just mine then. Mine has a long delay when the phone rings and I try to answer it and it stalls a lot the little clock is on my screen at least 10 times a day! The mute thing took a wile to get used to but I don't do it anymore.

My old Blackberry just passed away (run over by a car) lol and I am looking to get this one too. I can't say I liked it today when I was looking at it though. I don't know why...

And yeah, this is real helpful to you

i have one, i dont mind it, although my wife cant stand it and prefers her bold. the storm may need a few updates as the os is still glitchy and sometimes laggy. there are a few leaks and beta os releases that helps a bit but still waiting on an official release.

I bought one for my wife and she seems to think its Ok, still misses her Treo though. Once in awhile when you highlight something and then click it to open it doesn't seem to respond. Also find when you turn/rotate it for going from straight up to panaramic veiw or vice-vera you have to give it a shake to change.
