I've read some God awful reviews on The BB Storm. What phone do you have now? If you're with VZW, I suggest that you look at the Samsung Omnia or the HTC Touch Pro. Can I convince you to go to The Dark Side and iPhone?

There worse carriers for sure than AT+T; but where I am at least, Verizon is the best reception-wise. And what good is a phone if it doesn't have reception?

I have also read bad reviews about the storm but the recent software updates have apparently helped. Try one first before you buy. And according to crackberry.com, by changing a few settings users are reporting that slacker runs on the storm. They are working on the storm-specific version but in the meantime the current one can be made to work.

Agreed. Whichever carrier gives you the best reception in your area, then go with that one. Fortunately, in my are, (NE), both AT&T and VZW and pretty much rock solid.
