Default If not the Storm, would you get.......

Please Login to Remove!

I want to stay on Verizon, I do not have a BB now but want a BB type device. I have been waiting for the Storm to come out but based on what I am reading, I think I am going to pass on it.

So, what would you do if you were me?

A) Still get the Storm, it's not as bad as they say
B) Get the Curve
C) Get the Samsung Omnia?

I have a thing for a full qwerty (physical) keyboard so I would either go with the Curve or wait for the Niagra. Of Course I would keep up with Storm updates.

I got the Curve 5 months ago and I'm pretty happy with. I played with the Storm wasn't that impressed but I do want to mess around with it after this update since it sounds alot better.

If you really want the Storm I would hold off and see how the OS updates go.

Just my opinion this is all up to you after all .
