I'm searching for what to do or how to tweak the sensitivity of the touch screen. I'm trying and trying to get something to highlight and nothing will. And then when I do get the thing highlighted, it won't do as I ask. VERY disappointed so far, only had the thing since Tuesday before Christmas.

I've had the Storm for 3 weeks now and I love it. The .75 update worked wonders and it's much more responsive. I love the full screen, media capabilities, and sure press screen. It's a more advanced device than the iPhone so naturally it has a bigger learning curve.

I am disappointed by the storm as well. My previous phone was a Treo and it did alot AND, was simple. This BB Storm is so hard to use and the freezing of applications is annoying. Also, when you lock the screen, and then unlock it, it takes up to 15 seconds before you can use it. Me No Likey!!

Still think Storm should have WIFI. No reason not to, because phone will still require the data package. 3G is mostly fine but better for VZW cause it alleviates network traffic. BB has more followers technically so the independent apps will come soon. Looking forward to that.

I have been using Blackberries for many years and I was very excited to get the Storm. When it arrived and I astarted using it, I was very dissappointed. However, I made some adjustments to the sensitivity setting and practiced, practiced, practiced. It works great - no problems.

I have the storm, I got it on release day and yes I waited on line for it. That said, it has been working really well for me except one glaring flaw. The battery consumption does not come anywhere near what they claim. I charged it yesterday, and it's dead now 24 hrs later w/out hardly any use.

I will probably be returning mine. The space between the screen and the perimeter of the phone is cavernous. God forbid you use the phone in a drizzle or at the beach, there would be no way to prevent things from getting inbetween the touch screen and the hardware itself. Not impressed.

I had the LG Dare for a few weeks and hated the small buttons on the touch screen. The Storm is a great improvement of this. I always know what I'm clicking. As for everything else... battery drains very quickly, it takes forever to respond to some commands, and it's VERY VERY glitchy

Chris, California, USA

i got the phone last tuesday and had to wait till thusday to port my number over - so I was itching to start playing with the phone. It is now Sunday evening and my overall impression is of massive disappointment - to such extent that I will be returning it tomorrow and getting a Bold instead

Andy, leeds,

very disappointed with phone - battery life less than a day, trying to select url's on the browser a nightmare, has frozen / crashed several times requiring battery removal,

Andy, leeds,

I can confirm all of the problems mentioned in the review and more. Battery life is a major problem for heavy users. Phone freezes all the time and browser is poor. Biggest problem is poor reception. Compared to the Curve reception is much much worse.

The storm is a mobile phone right? If I'm at home I'm using my laptop not my phone on wifi.
When I'm mobile like phones are meant to be, 3G works great.

I would have to disagree. I have had my Storm for over week now and yes the battery was alarmingly poor for the first few days. But with a few changes I made in the settings..ie display brightness and auto dim, it made a huge difference! Also exit ALL apps that are not in use! Great phone!

I had the iphone which i felt was a good phone with a whole array of features, got bored (as i tend to do) and have now got the storm. I feel the storm is a slightly better device than the iphone and it looks prettier but i do agree that the verizon is nowhere near as quick as wifi.

For those that live in Montana and cannot access 3G, I really like the Storm. I am impressed with the Storm because of what I can access with it, especially in Montana. I do own an iTouch, but that is not even close to an iPhone. Some improvements would be nice, like battery life and software

Brett, Missoula, USA

I am having same issue with Storm's battery. I charged in the morning in the evening its gone :(
There might be glitch with the phone planning to take up with vodafone customer care apart from this I love storm really kewl gadget stunning screen and speakers
Still lost in the maze of How to dos :)

I'm sorry but the 300-700kbps of the Verizon EVDO network is nowhere as fast as the multi-megabit speeds of wifi nor is it as cheap or available as corporate or home wifi networks.

I own a Storm. I have super fast internet access, it isn't glitchy and the battery lasts for a very long time. I use it primarily for texting, and emailing. I'm a fast typist however it does take a while to adjust to it. After adaption, you'll learn that it is a serious piece of kit. Thanks

BiBi, Beds, UK

I completely agree. Had the Storm for two weeks now and I am completely in love with it. I have used it to its highest potential and it always satisfies. No problem with any glitching or battery drainage and downloaded songs superfast from Vodafone Live. Typing is fantastic. Thanks

BiBi, Beds, UK

The storm does not need wifi because the the Verizon network is better, As far as using it at home I have several laptops and a desk top for a prefered way of getting on the internet. The i phone is great but lets face it the Storm gives it a good run for the money because the network WORKS!!!!
