My upgrade for my phone is December 30th, and I'm not sure as to whether I should go ahead and get the Blackberry 'storm' or wait and get the new 'Curve' that's going to be released soon?

I'm Verizon.

I heard that the Storm isn't a good phone. (G4 reviewed it.) I would wait until the Curve.

Fuck G4. The Storm is great. The IT kids at my dad's office all pitched in and had their 8830s turned in and got storms and they love them.

I have tried the storm at the verizon store and honestly, it's very slow and the keyboard is harder to type with then the iPhones. It lacks the jailbreak that an iPhone has and lacks a lot of programs that you can get for free with AppStore.
It's almost phail, but the click feature is sorta innovative. Honestly it could have come out much better.

Well, 7/10 reviews are mostly bad about the Storm. It just doesn't look good for it. Although, I've heard so many good things about the new curve, including an improved keypad, that I think I'll wait on it.

My friend has a Storm and it's really nice. The Curve isn't going to be that great.

I played around with a buddy's Storm and it seemed to be a pretty good phone. The speaker on it is amazing though.

I think I need to just spend some time messing around on one, to decide if I like it or not.

My dad has Verizon and they let him test a phone for a week when he was eligible for an upgrade.

Sweet. I'll ask if I'm able to do the same. What did your Dad decide?

I'm still rockin' the Red 8830.

Any Blackberry PWNS. End of story.

For him it was between the Pearl and the Curve. He chose the Curve.

I'm waiting until next year. HTC is making more Android phones.
Plus DrXThirst is on Verizon. They don't have a G1 for Verizon.
