From Storm to Droid...Best Day In Cell Phone History!

[DougDroid]

Finally got my Droid today and all I can say is WOW!

I never thought I could hate a phone so much, but if you own a Storm I'm sure you can relate! Man life is going to be so much better and faster now that I got rid of that slow piece :icon_ banana:

The only thing good I'm going to get out of it is the 8gig SD card haha!

Yup Storm to Droid here also. In my case it was not that the Storm device was so bad - its just that they never worked out the bugs in the operating system. I don't know how many leaked releases i had and there was always a glitch somewhere.

This does not seem to behave as a rushed out for the holidays product as the Storm was. I have to assume Blackberry is sweating over this one.

Oh Yeah - had the phone for 3 days and no Battery pull yet - don't know how to handle life like this!

I think the speed is the number one thing for me! My Storm would hangup all the time and the video camera was just #$%&. If I took 3 videos I might get one that I could actually save and find to replay.

I am also amazed at how fast I can type on the touch screen! I bet I'm 3 times faster typing on the Droid than the Storm

Same here!

Honestly, the battery thing was getting old on the Storm. I even downloaded the quickpull app which didn't seem to help.

I sincerely wanted to like the blackberry storm. But, there were two main issues that kept me from doing so... the constant battery pulls and the keyboard/screen which I never quite got used to.

Hello Droid. I'm sure I'll have some issues (it's new technology, there will be something) but the quality of build for this thing is what I noticed first when playing around with it.

Don't forget the 10 second time it would take between pushing the button to take a picture and the picture actually getting taken if at all...I almost threw my Storm against the wall just about every day...what a piece of junk...

Funny thing... I still have the Storm I use for the company. Since June 1st of this year, I think I had a total of 1 battery pull with it. I hard had any issues with it as far as needing to do that.

Still using it for work, my personal phone went from being an LG Chocolate 3 to a Droid, and I'm happy with it cause now I can put more music beyond the 8 gigs I could put max on it.

I will admit, the camera on the Storm was tediously slow, and some things I wasn't happy with it, but then again, still trying to find good apps to mimic some things I liked with the Storm, such as the power on/off part, or at least, making sure certain things come back up that I want. Still need to wait for Locale app to update for some of the Droid 2.0 issues I see so far.
