So a while back when the Blackberry Storm first came out on the Verizon network I rushed out and got it and as you can see in my previous post I wasn't exactly thrilled with way it performed. But I have continued to suffer along with it because I have a rule about using what I buy. I was just about to give in and move on to something new (The Droid was set to come out) when I saw that the Storm 2 was coming out. I guess RIM decided that the first one was such a mess that they had to come out with version 2.0 less than 12 months after the first one. I shared this comment with another Storm 1.0 users who informed me that not only was the Storm 2 coming out but an upgrade for the first Storm was out and it really improved it. I scoffed at him, because RIM had been putting out new code for the Storm since almost the day it came out trying to make the thing actually work the way it should. But being a glutton for punishment I downloaded the upgrade and gave it a role. To my amazement my Storm started acting the way I would have wanted it to out of the box. The applications launched quickly, the keyboard responded, the screen rotation actually rotated with my movement of the unit. Now I am not going to tell you that the Storm 1.5 is the best thing out there, but I will tell you it has made me hesitate with regard to moving on to another unknown phone like the Droid. At least for a few more days. I will let some other sucker be the first one to try it and let me know what they think this time. So someone hurry up and try the Droid out and tell me if I can ditch the Storm for something more perfect.
