its their first ever touch screen and it has a revolutionary design. Its prolly not gonna be perfect out the gate, but I think RIM will fix things with software updates if need be.

thats odd because thats 100% the opposite of how I feel. I have used both the omnia and the storm and i felt both were good. the touchscreen on the storm was very reponsive just as good as the iphones. as for buggy you probably had a storm with an older software version on it. the first one I played with was buggy but with the new software its not

YOu must have used the Storm to say this. I saw the Phonescoop review for the first time this morning, and he kind of agrees with your criticism. My question, can this be fixed with a software fix and it is something that VZW would be willing to share with its customers? They don't always make software upgrades available, or they take a long time to implement them (e.g. the MotoA upgrade of about 1.5 years ago). Or, would Rim come out with a new version of the phone to fix the bugs the way Apple die?
