I LOVE my Stom2. I’m at upgrade time and there’s no VZW Blackberry out there for me to upgrade to.
And now the next Storm won’t have “SurePress”. Man i don’t know what I’m going to do. I’ve played with the other touch screen devices out there and none of them compare to the “SurePress” logic of: press = do.
I think all the Storm haters are nuts. If Apple had come out with the “SurePress” tech, everyone would love it and every phone maker would be trying to copy it.
Just to be fair, I admit that the Storm2 is NOT perfect. It need help with the OS load time, not enough memory, terrible browser, and all around lag time (would a faster processor and more memory have been to hard?).
