Bb Storm = Overrated

**freedomfighter76** · 11-21-2008, 12:32 AM

Hey guys some of you already know I work for Verizon, well the launch of the phone is actually in just acouple of hours. Guess I should probably be sleeping. But I finally got my hands on it today to play around with and was very unimpressed. The touch sensitivity takes you back to that of the Voyager when it first came out... Just crapola. I'd be much happier with a Curve then this piece of garbage. Great features and capabilities, bad functionality. The battery is very tiny... Idk how much life it could possible get... Guess we'll see... My store only got 5 in it's shipment, super ridiculous... I had about 100 people call about it today and we only get 5. God I hate Verizon.

And you can't wait until Black Friday (next week) when Wal*Mart will sell them for less?

I still very much like my Bold. Way better than the iPhone. The Storm was supposed to be here last week, but was delayed. We should see it after Thanksgiving.

Merlin I was thinking of Dumping my iPhone and getting a bold. any problems you notice.

**psi chick** · 11-21-2008, 10:12 AM

i was going to ask about the bold too. i have a 8310 curve that i was thinking of ditching. i love the curve but goddam i'm on my third one already and this one is having trackball problems now AGAIN. it's fucking rediculous. i'm hoping that the build quality on the bold is better than that of the curve.....
