Its not bad, but its not phenomenal either. The handset is good, its the software that has problems. Although I have heard it from a few trusty sources that Telus is looking to pick up the iPhone early fall. I'll be transitioning to the iPhone if they get it. The Storm is glitchy and slow overall, the graphics are nice, and the screen size is a nice upgrade from some of the older BBs. I do A LOT of texting (30K + in a month) along with tons of emails (~100 outgoing/day), and chatting. It works well for my needs, but other people find it lacks in other areas.

30,000 text's per MONTH?????? That's 1.44msgs per min for 43,200 consecutive mins............ That doesn't take into account the time when you are sleeping/eating/etc...............

Might wanna see a Dr...

I did a firmware update a while back and it is MUCH better now! Still not perfect but alot better. Telus is supposed to have GSM up and running by Christmas. It needs to be done for the Olympics so they can cash in on all of the visitors GSM phone$

Well I was told the new Curve was faster than the Storm so thats why I got it. I am pretty happy. I used to have the Curve 8330 and I liked it.

the reason I like BB though is for the Blackberry messenger. Many of my friends have BB's and so I can talk to them free and its faster than texting. I dont think Iphone has the messenger does it? And besides I know too many people with BB's. Its nice to be able to just get someones PIN and start talking to them through BBM.

I do like the Iphones too though

You mean you never sent text messages or never use BBM?

BBM is a million times better than text messaging IMO. I do some promotional work at clubs on weekends and a majority of BB users will just give me their PIN instead of number. And I am pretty surprised how many people have BB now.

I must have a few hundred PINs but not nearly as many phone numbers
