RIM BlackBerry Storm 9500

Typing is definitely slow - and the interface is far from intuitive. I have to say I'm struggling to warm to my wife's Storm and may now wait for the Nokia 5800 in February since I'm tied to Vodafone.

It's so sluggish, even locks up sometimes. Take a coffee break while you're waiting for the screen vertical/horizontal rotation feature. Taking pics of my little girls is a waste of time - they're on the next fairground ride before it takes the snap. I'm checking every day for a new firmware update for this dog. However, if they sort out the problems this will be the dog's!

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 entirely SUCKS...I cannot blame the reviewers as they look at the phone for a limited time and move on. BUT, I am one of the few people who bought the phone from the Sony Style store on day one. I was eager reading all the reviews and wanted to replace my current SE P910. It has been 15 days since I have been using the phone and IT TOTALLY SUCKS.It has all the bells and whistles but when it comes to ease of USABILITY and handling as a phone (receiving & making calls) it is crap. It is because of Windows Mobile 6 and lack of thought on SE side. One has to go to so many screen taps and button presses to be able to get the Phone application. All the time the Phone hides the on screen number KEYPAD. Hence when you need to check you voice mails and delete them, you just struggle.The Contacts list is messed up and not thought thoroughly. The screen is small and the ICONS on the screen are so tiny that you always need stylus. Even for me who has small thin fingers I cannot pinpoint an icon to push.The PANELS are a nice at first impression, but once you get using them on daily basis, they are all the same and lack functionality. So far I have 7 panels and other than the Facebook etc panels, all the panels have same buttons and icons. So, they essentially are useless. I change the panel but see the same s*#t in a different color and background.I miss the Symbian/UIQ apps and usability from the previous SE phones.On top of all this the SONY return policy is return only within 14 days and 15% re-stocking fee. So, you essentially lose everywhere.Unless someone comes with a good re-constructed apps like the iPhone, i see that people will get away from this phone. And I will make sure to make them aware of these facts.

You've added this comment to the Storm review - but looks like Mobile Computer agrees with you in its X1 review[url]http://www.mobilecomputermag.co.uk/200812091121/sony-ericsson-xperia-x1[/url].

The Storm is an amazing device and you can't go wrong with purchasing one of these.RIM has delivered the best multimedia BB device. The hardware is very fast, the device may seem 'clunky' but it will improve with software.
