Yep.

Well....we went to our local store yesterday and they didn't have any Storm's. They never got any in the first place supposedly. And I picked up an EnV for mrsreindeer and I'm kicking myself already because I realized after the fact that I could have possibly ordered through you Jay...can we?

For the enV, they charged $169 with a $50 mail-in rebate for signing up for another 2 years...I come home to find a Verizon ad saying that after rebate, the enV is $79. WTF!

Yep, just pull from Palm into Outlook and then sync to BB...

You definitely don't want me to post how I really feel...

Let's just say I will take a very sick pleasure in destroying every piece of my pearl much like they did in Office Space... only I won't be using bats and shoes... just my hands and it will be a bloody mess!

As for the storm I may have to wait just a tad longer... I blew my budget on CCs... too damn many good deals lol and the storm will be there later the deals may not, at least that was my justification...

I noticed if you order on-line the ship date is pushed out to the 15/12.

I saw that, pretty bad.

I pre-ordered from Best Buy, but they took more pre-orders then the amount of phones they were getting in apparently.

Typical BS...sell more than you have just in case so you can cover your a$$... never mind the customer... I get so sick of these stores... I just wanna smack 'em around a bit..

in all fairness VZW ordering said we would have as many as we wanted. then they all the sudden cut our orders in half.

BTW, after playing with this phone it's not worth it. a curve will do the same stuff 100X better. if you still want one i should have more coming in way before the 15th. we had to take care of locals fist though and then i can start sending them out. i can do 50$ off the price generally.

Yea i've been hearing that for heavy users its not so good. Im not a heavy user yet (a couple emails, some web surfing), probably not for a couple of years. Its not worth the $600 im paying for it, but whatever, its cool and i want it haha

I'm leaning more toward the new I-Phone! Has wi-fi, multiple apps; connection issues and dropped calls are much less now!

So i've had the phone for about a day now. Its pretty damn cool. Had to cut up some paper to put behind the battery to improve the clicking. The contacts list is pretty plain looking but thats a blackberry thing. Its a fingerprint magnet too, but I put a screen protector on it, but everything else just wipes off with a microfiber cloth. Its also pretty slow and laggy, but that will hopefully be fixed with the updates.

I listed all the bad thing s about it haha but i like it.

Nice. I'm just waiting for Jeremy to get some in.

Any more feedback, I heard they put out some update to help with some of the intial issues, I don't know what those issues were if there were any at all.

[Stog-a-Boy]

I actually returned mine today. The update did help though. It was alot faster and 10 times better then when I bought it. But I had some hardware problems and from what I read online it would take more then 1 return to find one that works perfectly. This was mainly the click screen and not clicking properly the whole way around the screen. I'm eligible for and official upgrade in august and will most likely buy the Storm again. By then all the bugs should be worked out. I really did love the phone and if you get one thats perfect then it would be a great phone.

That's why I still have my Curve...
