I stopped by the Verizon booth in the mall the other day to try out a Blackberry Storm, the new one with the touchscreen. I'm a current Verizon customer, and my antique Moto Razor is about to do the El Croako. I'd heard the Storm had a good browser and a great screen for viewing media. Since Verizon has treated me pretty well and I've no complaints about their service, I was curious about their new phone.
The guy at the booth let me play with theirs. I tried typing on it, and was not very successful. The Storm's touch screen acts like a button, so you have to press it down to enter a character. But it also acts like a touchscreen, so there's obviously no indent for your finger to know when you're over a button. I mistyped many characters, sometimes more than once, and got frustrated after a few minutes of fiddling with it. Perhaps this is just me. I'm curious to know if others on this list have successfully adapted to the Storm's unique touchscreen/button controls. Or if anyone here helped test or develop it and would like to share something of their experiences. Some million or so people have eagerly purchased this handset; I'd like to know how it's worked out for you.
