Ehh sounds like someone dident know how to adjust their screen or properly close applications. Anyone I’ve talked to who have used the storm and had issues with it having to do mutliple battery pulls etc dident know how to properly close an application cuasing the phones memory to dwindle and had bad a touchscreen responce because they dident know how to adjust the screen via the 2 screws under the battery cover. The storm in its early stages sucked, it was slow and people had some issues… Since some software upgrades it has gotten a lot better… Now after running the 5.0.230 software the phone is a completely different beast… Response is fast as hell, the phone doesnt lag when switching from portrait to landscape, flick scrolling is awsome, threaded SMS rocks and overall the phone is much quicker The storm 2 is even a better improvment… every demo ive seen just completely blows the storm out of the water… the new technology being used in the touchscreen is going to be the biggest improvement Its no iphone and im getting sick of the touchscreen, I’ll be going with a blackberry tour or the new curve when it comes out next week Anyone ive adjusted the screen for or anyone who ive given a new OS to on the storm love it now > [@\*OFFICIAL\* 06-07 Toronto Maple Leafs Season Thread](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-06-07-toronto-maple-leafs-season-thread/18511/254): > > I knew it would be shit phone with a screen that actually moves :lol Pretty dumb idea if you ask me. It was acctualy a great idea, just the design was flawed… The storm 2’s design is 10x better, now the phone is a closed unit, the screen itself doesnt move at all… it uses a technology that allows the glass to have some give in it when an electric current is passed thru it, when the phones off the glass is completely solid giving a better more accurate feel of pressing a button Also now you can press mutliple keys at once allowing for much faster/responsive typing --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/verizons-iphone-killer/247808)._
