Terry,

Yay. I don't felt so alone.

The Blackberry "Storm," the "iPhone killer" they rolled out last November
has met with some disappoint among some of the 50,000 "quick to adopt"
purchasers, said the Wall Street Journal. And the company wouldn't disclose
the returned units when asked. Apple, they noted in the article, has 25% of
the smartphone market share. That's an accomplishment, pending reliable
data they did not produce.

I did wait, unconvinced myself unto the 3G iPhone came out. Jailbroke it
(removed all Apple blockades) days after purchase and threw the kitchen
sink into it. Very rewarding! Heck with the warranty. I can refresh it to
factory firmware whenever I want.

Best,

Andy
