A lot of early reviewers had the device for a few days then poured their souls all over the web complaining of this and that.... I don't think they gave it enough time and did not allow for OS improvements to better the overall user experience.
It's very apparent that the keyboard has a much tougher learning curve to master and most gave up before they could become usability experts.
Like usual, the ones who had issues were much more vocal but still represented a much smaller minority.
I for one am neither a Verizon customer or a Storm owner, but from the outside looking in that is what it appears to be.
I'm sure this thing is a hot seller both in terms of subsidized upgrades, early upgrades and new activations.
I'll wait till they make one of these bad boys with T-Mobile's AWS 3G band and UMA type service before I plop down $ 500 dollars on something like this....
Overall it's a good device. Sure there are some issues such as lag and the camera could be faster. Im sure they will be resolved with another firmware update or two. Hell, I still have problems with my iPod Touch sometimes (which I love), and that just goes to show that there really is no perfect device in existence yet.

The storm isn't $500. it's $149.99 if you get it from Verizon using a "new every two" discount and $199.99 if you get it by signing up for a new 2 year contract.
