I am a gadget nut. Seriously. I'm not someone who needs the latest and greatest of everything. But every now and then, something moves me so much that I just HAVE to have it...if it's within my budget of course. So I sold my LG Dare and purchased a Blackberry Storm - on launch day. Yes, on a cold November morning, I sat outside of a local Circuit City waiting to be one of the first to have this little treasure in my hands.
Unfortunately, my delight began to wither away shortly thereafter. The touchscreen was inconsistent to say the least. The phone lagged, lagged, lagged. But after having the blackberry experience there was no way I could go back to a regular phone. So I decided to wait it out. A software update came. It helped a lot but the hardware still seemed a little jacked. So I got a replacement device. This one was a tad better but new problems arose with this one. It would reset spontaneously, freeze for no apparent reason. Just awful. So I called Verizon customer service once again and after pleading my case, received yet another phone.
So now I am convinced that RIM has made some adjustments to this phone that were not there in previous issues. The touchscreen is MUCH better than either of the other phones. The interface seems a bit peppier and with another OS upgrade due this month, I suspect it will run like a champ. The phone I have in my hands now is the phone that should have been available on launch day. Sometimes it simply doesn't pay to be an early adopter.
