I think it's the carrier more than the manufacturer.  From the response I got from BB when I spoke to their tech support, I guess Verizon SW fucks up their phones.  Those poor bastards are circling the bowl right now.  Best network my ass, those guys are have the same service as other carriers and their phones blow.  I tell every single Verizon employee (including my brother's wife) that I come in contact with that I hate the Storm and that all the phones they offer SUCK.  I'm going to wait until Verizon has the iPhone next summer, and if it's fucked up because of Verizon, I'm ditching them ASAP.

Verizon isn't the same company they used to be.  They don't really cripple phones anymore.  If you take a look at the newer blackberries that are coming out on Verizon, they have wi-fi.  I'm fairly sure they aren't crippled like they used to be.  The new Droid is completely untouched by Verizon, except for a couple badges and a couple Verizon apps.  Otherwise, it's a full featured phone.

The Storm is the Storm.  It's not Verizon's fault that RIM released the phone too early, in my opinion.  The Storm2 is everything that the Storm1 was supposed to be, and from what I hear, is a lot better phone.  Honestly, when users are coming up with such things as using a business card to make the Storm touch screen work better, I think that is a hardware design issue more than it is a carrier issue ;-)

And just an FYI, spend enough time on crackberry.com and you'll see that RIM OSes aren't always perfect and a lot of the time, is far from it.  Granted, I've been running beta 5.0 OSes lately before I switched to Verizon and got the Droid, but I had problems with official carrier OSes as well.

I'm not bashing on RIM, because I love Blackberries, but that's just the way a crackberrier lives.  Just sometimes have to deal with memory management, random reboots, sometimes BIS issues, etc.

Verizon's phone selection is starting to get a lot better now that they picked up the Android platform.  And if Verizon does actually get the iPhone, I seriously doubt Verizon would be allowed to touch the software.

I hear what you're saying Mark.  I don't blame it all on Verizon, because I do agree that RIM is equally to blame for the Storm.  I'm just pissed at Verizon and the marketing geniuses at RIM that decided to launch a product that wasn't ready.

Does anybody know the process of how to hack a Verizon blackberry so that I can use it as a modem for a laptop rather than paying for that freaking service?
