But as most of us know, the storm has had its problems. I bought mine the first day that it came out. Hopefully with the new firmware update it will be faster and more reliable. I am a fan of the qwerty keyboard in portrait mode now.</p> Great post. But as most of us know, the storm has had its problems. I bought mine the first day that it came out.

You'd think the Storm is all unicorns and rainbows judging by some of the bloggers out there.

The Storm is grossly under-powered for its operating system.
