"Enough!! Wi-Fi is NOT a make or break on this device."
Pros: 1) Blackberry Product Quality
2) Tremendous battery life
3) Strong network support with Verizon (unlike someone else we know)Cons: 1) The App Store is truly the make or break here (sorry, not Wi-Fi) and it's success will be critical!!
2) Speaking of Apple, I love my iTunes. Can the Storm manage my library?? Hmmm
3) FINE!!!! No Wi-Fi. But I put it third so take that!!Summary: I don't write for any sites & this is my ... read more

"How can you rate this phone when you have no experience"
Pros: It is ridiculous that people are complaining/raving about features this phone might or might not have. All of you who have rated this phone should really have waited until you were able to get your hands on one; your reviews are worthless.
Cons: The fact that CNet allows morons to review products that have not been released.

"Planned to buy it, glad I spent 45 minutes with it"
Pros: It's still a Blackberry (1 star) It's still on Verizon's great network (1 star) The screen is larger, which makes web browsing easier (1/2 star)
Cons: The device is terribly slow. The transition from land scape to portrait view was ridiculously slow, scrolling on the device was choppy, jerky and slow. Application selection and launch was slow. Had to reboot the device after about 10 minutes.
Summary: Don't buy it, save your money. Stay on the C... read more
