Day 1 with the new BlackBerry Storm and I can safely say so far I love this phone. The touchscreen is a little quirky but once you use it for a while, the quirks become second nature (pretty much like any cell’s quirks). I am slowly getting apps installed to make the Storm the device I’ve been dreaming of since Verizon squashed my dreams and nixed the iPhone™.

The battery life is something I will probably fret over as I have OCD about cell battery bars. But it is to be expected with as much as this beast does.

Weight-wise it’s not too bad. It’s pretty close to my LG enV (version 1). The enV’s thumbpad was also good training for the Virtual Keyboard on the Storm’s touchscreen.

And the click on the screen? It’s pretty nice. Some feedback would have been good, but at least, it still feels like you’re hitting buttons.

Tonight, I get my phonebook and pictures transferred over from my enV to the Storm so tomorrow should be a richer experience.

Let’s see what Day 2 brings me…
