Any one try a more recent version on the Storm? Any better than the original?

I had a chance to play around with the Storm when my brother in law came into town for a visit. In my opinion, there is no comparison between the Storm and the iPhone -- with the iPhone being the winner. The deal breaker for me was how I had to touch the Storm's screen, and pushing down actually made the whole phone feel like a clicking button. The iPhone is finger pressure operated, and is much sexier. I have a Bold at the present time, and my wife has an iPhone 3G. The Bold sounds better in terms of playing .mp3 music, and when a 16GB microSDHC card is added becomes an excellent .mp4 player. Blackberry Bold: “Must-have” Applications

Over the past few months, I have taught myself how to use WordPress and to install plugins, but I never understood how the plugins worked. Don’t know if I’ll ever write one, but now I can read the php script with some level of understanding. Thank you Mark

Too bad David Pogue’s review of the Storm didn’t come out until six days later:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/27/technology/personaltech/27pogue.html

He utterly trashed it.

Selected quotes:

“I’ve got a better name for it: the BlackBerry Dud.”

“R.I.M.’s execution is inconsistent and confusing.”

“trying to enter Web addresses or unusual last names [on the portrait mode SureType keyboard] is utterly hopeless.”

“Incredibly, the Storm even muffs simple navigation tasks.”

“trying to navigate this thing isn’t just an exercise in frustration — it’s a marathon of frustration.

I haven’t found a soul who tried this machine who wasn’t appalled, baffled or both.

And that’s before they discovered that the Storm doesn’t have Wi-Fi.”

“But wait, there’s less. Both of my review Storms had more bugs than a summer picnic. Freezes, abrupt reboots, nonresponsive controls, cosmetic glitches.”

“When you look at your typing, slow and typo-ridden, and you repair the dents you’ve made banging your head against the wall, you’ll be grateful that Verizon offers a 30-day return period.

How did this thing ever reach the market? Was everyone involved just too terrified to pull the emergency brake on this train?”

Final paragraph:

“Web rumor has it that a bug-fix software update is in the works. Until then, maybe Storm isn’t such a bad name for this phone. After all — it’s dark, sodden and unpredictable.”

He must have given RIM an advance copy of the review and then they convinced him to embargo it for an extra six days.

Was at the Verizon store checking out the two Storms they had on display. Embarrassingly slow UI. I for the life of me could not figure out how to get the phone to write and send a test message. Navigating and moving around the phones different applications seemed railroaded. I kinda liked the clicking screen, but it seemed more of a novelty. I had a better time typing things out on a LG Dare. And I wished the display phones had some media and documents to test to really see how this phone worked. If I was to get a Storm, I would wait until they work out the slow UI issues. It was disappointing as an initial encounter with the phone.
