RIM's Storm is a Washout

Unbelievable. Try using it for more than 5 seconds, and maybe outside an obviously blocked area for coverage.

I have been using a STORM for about a week and a half, and it is clearly the most powerful smartphone on the market (no lag or loading issues on mine). As for the keyboard, you have a choice of horiz full qwerty or the vert suretype. OBVIOUSLY the keyboard will take some screen space (as with the iPhone), but it is not a hinderence (just a matter of preference for phone users).

It is really disturbing to see many reviewers just "follow the herd". Do you even care about the 3.2MP autofocus camera? The user replaceable battery? The memory card slot for microSD cards? The enterprise server flexibility? The robust email system? (All of which are missing or weaknesses of the iPhone).

Again, you have to spend more than 3 seconds with the phone to learn its shortcuts, and to understand all the really unique things "it can do".... but of course, you are in a rush to JOIN THE HERD! By the way, not all of had the lag or loading issues. Like I said, do a FULL review with the 3G coverage, and while using it for more than a few seconds in a store (try a week, and learning about it), lol :p If new users on youtube where whipping it out and typing with no issue....

I can't believe people get PAID for 5 second reviews.
