…and I take offense to the “idiotic ravings” comment. The posts are a way to blow of steam and maybe get Verizon’s attention as a paying customer (although we are pretty sure they don’t read this stuff or they would realize the world of customers they are ticking off).

I love my Storm. The problem I have is with Verizon’s motives. Verizon, like all other major telecom companies, jerks us around because they know we don’t want to pay half the US deficit to get our of our contract. So they will string us along until another version or a new phone comes out and hold that over our heads by pulling support for the old phone(s). It’s a game to them and I have a problem with that.

As a software developer, I know that there is no such thing as a bug-less release. So why is Verizon being so darn picky? They weren’t when the Storm was released (look at .75).

I will be hard pressed to recommend Storm 2 to anyone that is non-technical if they plan to support it the same way they are supporting Storm 1.

So if you’re driven to spewing idiotic ravings about this, take all that energy to help yourself out of the situation.

This is only newsworthy in that Verizon’s behavior is so questionable.

So I got my Storm day one (number 21 our fo 40 at my local Verizon store). I was somewhat disappointed but willing to be patient while the bugs were corrected. After all, I was an early adopter that helped you make your bottom line in a recession. You worthless pile of dung for a company.

And here I am, 6 months later and you are going to leave me high and dry in an effort to get me to buy the Storm 2 when it comes out? You impotent, ungrateful, slothful bastards. If you don’t update, I will make it my personal mission to destroy your market in my area. I will get a blackberry on A*&* and spam the crap out of anyone I know on Verizon to change to any company but yours regardless it that company supports it’s hardware and customers. I have a lot of people that listen to my tech advice including an internet audience. Upgrade or die. You sorry, spiteful, “full of suck” excuse for a technology/communication company.

(That felt good…)

And don’t believe for one second, users don’t know any better. Especially ones that read this site, or numerous other BB related sites.

The *.75 release I’m running right now has problems (color flashing among the most annoying) and is slow and sluggish along with a host of others problems that I won’t list (because RIM fixed them you BLOW WHOLES! ).

I purposely switched over to a blackberry because I needed tethering and didn’t want to be locked down to an “Apple only” (hint hint) store AND I didn’t want to have to “jailbreak” a device I depended on to do business with. If I had known Verizon was going to pull this BS, I would have chosen a different carrier.

I have been waiting patiently for the next official release but will now go off and do EXACTLY what I didn’t want to do… and probably what you don’t want either… install a release that YOU didn’t approve and run it on YOUR network.

I can’t WAIT until my contract is up!

And yes, I think I feel better!
