blackberry curve is better than the storm in many ways.Storm has a slow processor and slow internet browser and also the phone freezes a lot...

I got the storm yesterday morning after waiting in line before verizon opened its doors. I have to admit that the Storm browser thus far is the best browser RIM has ever made but i'd say it still needs improvement. It allows for other manufacters to create browsers and i like the storm because it seems they have made it easy for several software developers to create applications somewhat like the iphone. I'm able to type faster on the 8130 then on the storm but i'm almost as fast now. Also downloading software or streaming videos seems to be faster.
The curve is more direct because of the buttons so there can be less room for error if you got the keyboard down pretty well. The speaker phone is definetly alot better on the storm... also the screen is almost twice the size! overall i think its the way of the future so its time to move forward and suck it up!

did you notice the storm gets freezed up after certain number of applications opened and the menu also takes time to open.I consider that one has to be patient to use the storm
