I got one a few weeks ago and am still getting used to it. I haven't noticed any glitches either except that when I speak on the phone my cheek tends to hit the mute button and apparently there'll be updates to remedy that as well as whatever other issues people may have. iPhone has had 6-8 updates already so give it a bit of time. Some compare the iPhone to a "toy" while the BB Storm is considered a "tool". Whatever; it depends on the user really.

Hmm I wonder if its just mine then. Mine has a long delay when the phone rings and I try to answer it and it stalls a lot the little clock is on my screen at least 10 times a day! The mute thing took a wile to get used to but I don't do it anymore.

My old Blackberry just passed away (run over by a car) lol and I am looking to get this one too. I can't say I liked it today when I was looking at it though. I don't know why...

And yeah, this is real helpful to you

I've good contact with Roger's cell phone techs and they say the Storm still needs a bit of work to get it to the Enterprise level. They recommend the Bold 9000 from the Blackberry line. You just can't replace the full QWERTY keyboard with touchpads especially if you have fat fingers.

and that would be because rodgers doesn't have the storm but they do have the bold. kinda makes sence for them to say "buy what we have"

I used to thing like you about the keyboard, I do have fat fingers, and I can type just fine on the touch "querty" keyboard, when I did have problems on the curve. I think the fact that you get a larger keyboard is what makes it better than any blackberry keyboard yet.

yes there are a few issues that some people have, the pproblem is they are mostly from Verision release which was 3 software upgrades befor telus release it in canada. at any rate it is still light years ahead of the I-Phone when it was released.

LOL, I expand. I got an LG Venus phone form Future shop on a Telus Contract. I did not get any extra services.

Within the first few hours it said I had a message (Hmmm, weird didnt sign up for this).

So I called support and they told me I didn't have voice mail, couldn't possibly be happening. LOL Over the next couple days the messages kept appearing and I kept calling Telus. Finally I pressed "1" button to get my messages LOL and it dial Sarah's house. (I used reverse 411 to figure out who's # it was, I just happened to know sarah.) Her poor daughter thought I was some sort of weird stalker calling her and hanging up.

Turns out the # telus assigned me was Sarah old cell #.

If I hadn't recognized the # and called her at home to explain Telus would still be trying to figure this out.

p.s. Got the phone in Sept 8 (used it for maybe 1 1/2hrs total) the battery is dead now & the LCD face is toast. So pretty much the whole experience was a nightmare.
