BlackBerry Storm Pros and Cons

As promised here is a list of the pros and cons I have found using my Storm since release.

Pros
1. Simple BB UI if you are familiar with previous BB devices then you catch on to this one fast
2. I really enjoy the "click" it gives the feeling of a keyboard that BB's are known for and makes typing on the unit much easier compared to the iPhone
3. There is a copy and paste feature
4. Updates are OTA (over the air) so there is no need to plug the phone in to your PC if you don't want to. (I still HIGHLY recommend to plugging it in to your PC every now and then to do periodic backups)
5. Unlocked GPS that means I can use any free GPS programs that I like on the device
6. MMS so I can send video and audio files to friend on their handhelds and not have to email it to them and hope they are near a computer.
7 . Upgradeable memory so if I run out I can always add more

Cons
1. There is lag when opening programs and switching to landscape view (a lot of these issues got resolved with the update, but there are still enough complaints to make it a con)
2. Even though there is a copy and paste feature I have yet to be able to get the highlight feature to work properly. Can someone enlighten me?
3. The screen does become a bit loose with use. Will this get worse over an extended period of use? I'll keep you updated, but hey there is a reason I got an accidental damage service plan from Best Buy on the phone.

Remember these are my personal list of pro's and con's that I found while using the phone. If there are any I should add to the list let me know.

BlackBerry Storm

I got my BlackBerry Storm today (Friday November 21st 2008)
I must say that I am very happy with it. I was fortunate enough to get the last one that the local Best Buy that I work at had. There is a bit of delay but nothing that I am not happy about. I upgraded to the new .75 OS and everything is running even smother than before. If you have a Storm and you are still using .65 don't return it wait for the OTA (over the air) update from Verizon you will be very happy that you did.
Stay tuned for a list of BlackBerry Storm supported must have apps, and a full review of all the pros and cons.

Have a great day everyone!
