my thoughts from the other thread:

I've had mine for a week. Do I love it? nope, do i hate it? far from it. But as I'm using it more, it's growing on me a lot. The first day i had it, I really didn't like it, but now? i have to say, it's a great bberry.
For anyone who is a "bberry guy", it will be a somewhat difficult transition, but not because the storm sucks, it's because i've been using a more traditional bbery for what? 10 years? and it's different. Different doesn't mean bad, it means different.

There's an OS update coming on 12/15 (over the air update mind you).

Things that are better on the storm:

Bluetooth: it's louder and clearer than my 8830 and 8130. It synched easily with my jawbone and bmw.

3G - i can now send/receive emails while talking on the phone. Awesome feature.

Full QWERTY keyboard - it took a bit to get used to the touch screen, but now it's easy.

Audio - much better than 8830.

Camera - 3.2Mp, autofocus, etc... i'm not big on camera phones, but this one is better than my 8130.

Comes with 8GD SD card.

What's not to love? Well, other than the Iphone fan-boys who are worried about bberry people being cooler than them

BBerry changed the charging cable to micro-usb, so all of my older Bberry chargers are now useless, including my car charger.
