hey guys just got back from the Verizon store and i have to say the new storm is nice. i think they got it close to perfect. they fixed the speed issue and the screen and typing is great. i did notice the screen felt firm and it would feel the tap more accurate. alot less mistakes when i was testing out the 9520. i think i might upgrade to the 9550 being that i am on the Vodafone 9500. i prefer the all GSM version . but i am still worried about the whole OS being good or not from what i have been reading online seems like every other person i having issues.

OS 5.0 is still brand new (Not even FIPS 140 certified on ANY device yet for those US Govt folks out there). It will have its issues, just like you see with all the people with betas out there. Its official, but that just means the carriers signed off on it. The OS will get better. it always does.

No issues for me on the 9550. Love it.
