All in all I am VERY satisfied with this phone! I have not found it to be slow at all. In fact in a side by side test, it loads web pages and apps much faster than my daughters iPhone. Also, I have not had any of the syncing issues described in other reviews (although I’m using a PC, not an Apple).
Some have said they don’t care for the clickable screen. I REALLY like it! Although my fingers aren’t huge they arn’t tiny either and the QWERTY keyboard works for me just fine (although I’d definitly recommend landscape mode when typing). I have noticed that the more you use the typing feature the more you get a “feel” for typing on the virtual keyboard.
My only issue with this phone was getting a well built unit. The first phone I bought had some kind of contaminant under the glass of the screen. Phone#2 had a bad mic, Phone#3 had a problem “clicking” on one edge of the screen. I’m on phone#4 currently and I think this one is a winner (knock wood). I will say that Verizon switched out the phone each time, no questions asked and sincerely wanted me to be happy with my purchase.
Minor complaints (not strong enough to deduct a Star):
1. Music data (album name, artist, etc…) should be editable on the device, instead of just on windows before you transfer the song over.
2. The data displayed while a song is playing does not appear to be configurable.
3. Hoping for a 32gb SD card option although 16mb is probably fine.
4. Agree with the previous review re:placement of the sd card. It would have made more sense to put it on the outside somewhere to make it easier to swap out.
Overall, I would highly recommend this phone and would advise that one just be picky to make sure your phone doesn’t have any functional issues.

I see a lot of negative responses, and I just think they didn’t give the phone a fair shake. The storm is not very intuitive, meaning it doesn’t function like most phones. I had a hard time getting used to it, but once I did nothing could stop me!! It is the best phone I have ever had.
I have had it move slow from time to time, but I have found this is user error. When it is taking a while to load a page I can look at what apps I have open and ALWAYS it is my fault for not closing other apps I was using. Side by side with my friends iPhone my storm loads pages quicker.
It syncs great with google! I love how it got all my contacts from gmail and syncs automatically in both directions with google calendar.
Music is amazing, I can transfer from my iTunes, don’t even use my iPod anymore, I don’t need it. You can also use your own music as ring tones if you like. No more purchasing ring tones.
I also don’t understand the complaints with the keyboard, although the keys are small, it will automatically correct misspelled words. Maybe they have this feature turned off.
It is an amazing phone, but since it is so different it takes some getting used to. Once you learn where everything is and how to maneuver around its great!

A wonderful piece of gear. Takes some getting used to; like a Rubik’s cube, some will get it – some won’t. A new discovery every day until you figure out all the capabilities. Much faster than Ifone, much better video – not gray and dim, but vibrant. Problems mentioned by other users, if any are easily overcome with practice. Be sure to exit out of applications and web browsing not in use, so as not to tax memory and processing power in background while doing something else. Always clean your browser and memory when done, or between aps and ops, (just a couple of button presses), again so things don’t run unnecessarily in background unbeknownsed to you. Great speed. Great coverage. Great videos. Qualities and capabilities beyond Ifone, like stereo and voice navigation. Requires a little practive and familiarization, like a Rubik’s cube. Finally, much better packages with Verizon Wireless, and better rebate and initial outlay. Go with the proven product, Blackberry. Many federal and military agencies and orgs use them regularly. Don’t cheat yourself on screen space by opting for one with a hard keyboard. The touchscreen offers much more space, is adjustable in the setup and options areas, and is fun once mastered.

many people were not happy with their BB storm however, with the recent updates its performance became great. But still if you are getting lots of mails and it is not nesseary for you to respond them, you are not BB guy thus, buy something else.

A few months ago, I upgraded from my BlackBerry Pearl 8130, and decided to go with the Storm2. I alllmost went to a Droid phone, but the Storm2 really caught my eye, and I’m already comfortable with the BlackBerry user interface. So, with that in mind, I ordered my S2 online via the Verizon website, and figured if I didn’t like I could always swap it for another phone within 30 days.
Honestly, I didn’t need 30 days to decide that the Storm2 was the phone for me. I liked my Pearl 8130, but it did have a few annoying things about it. Websites that needed java were a bit sketchy with my Pearl; it would request to enable Java and I’d allow that, but then the site still wouldn’t work correctly half the time. I don’t have that issue with my S2. Also, the browser speed is so much better on the S2. With my Pearl, I had actually added the Opera Mini browser because the native browser was so slow. I don’t even need Opera Mini on my S2; the browser is that much faster.
The SurePress will take some getting used to if you’ve never had a touchscreen phone before (I hadn’t), but I was typing like a pro after only a couple days.
All in all, I don’t really have any complaints about the S2. I really enjoy using it, and it’s a very functional phone. There are tons of fun, useful apps out there and the S2 has plenty of memory to accommodate your aftermarket apps.
