PC World's own Yardena Arar was among the first reviewers to pan the Storm, in a controversial critique posted back on November 19. The New York Times's David Pogue subsequently questioned whether a BlackBerry without a real keyboard really qualifies as a BlackBerry. The Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg was lukewarm on the Storm, too, another blow to a device that was supposed to be Verizon's answer to tech's reigning sweetheart, the iPhone.
this has got to be the slowest phone ever...if you rotate the direction...the screen takes a good 5 seconds to copy...by that time you may have moved back the other direction yet it still changes...
have to push answer about 10 times to get a call...
even though there is a mute button right at the top of the phone there is an additional one on the screen that seems to be unusually sensitive and mutes your calls mid call by the touch of your ear
what else....basically everything is rediculously slow... i had an 8830 before and loved it...seriously considering switching back
all in all...it is a piece of sh*t

BEST PHONE EVER
This phone is the best one I have ever had. I switchet from the Iphone to the Blackberry storm because simply the Iphone compared to the Blackberry Storm is F**ki*g ridiculous. Never Amazing 3g reception, super fast accelerometer,by the way the dude that said that you can mute your phone by the touch of the ear has a defromed or hilarious large ear. LOL

Where Google Chrome security fails: the password I heard mention that the Chrome OS will have some sort of encryption available a la bitlocker. If it's possible to encrypt personal data using another password or key, then it may have potential for very secure data.... And Ubuntu has an 'encrypt home directory' option, perhaps google should follow suit.
