i went in to a store to mess around with one, mine is in the mail still… i am not 100% sold on the browser yet, it was really hard to click links lol. might just be because i was a noob. the form factor and the keyboard were really nice though :tup: ---

I am curious to see how the touchscreen integration really works with the existing OS. IMO they should have waited till they had a new OS that was designed around a touchscreen. ---

call into CS, check the webiste, or go to a store. you are looking to see if you have $100 NE2 discount. You may only be eligible for $50, or none at all depending on how your account is set up ---

When i went to go play around with one at the verizon store there were these 2 dumb bitches in front of me complaining about the data plan. The deciding factor for this asshat was the fact that the new chocolate isnt skinny anymore… I also asked the guy how many people do you have to explain the data plan to… He said something about morons under his breath. ---

I guess the phones are shipping with OS version 4.7.0.65 on them. It was meant to have 4.7.0.87 which fixed the issues people are seeing but there was a last minute problem with the build. Expect an OS update in the near future. ---

i had all intentions of going to pick one up friday, but i was also disapointed. i hate how the screen floats on what seems to be springs, (thats how it “clicks”) and its slow compared to my curve. so im gnna keep the curve. ---

We ordered ours Friday morning and got them overnighted. Still have yet to see them. We’re currently on the phone with Verizon working our way up the chain. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/bb-storm/55040.md?page=9) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/bb-storm/55040.md?page=11)
