BlackBerry Storm 1 hour review

Well, I can't really say that I got to do much in the first hour.  I basically played with it for 10 min and then upgraded it to v4.7 of the OS that wasn't a quick process.  I'm not sure what was on it before but  4.7 works pretty well.  So, first hour was basically set up and that's it.  My first hour review:

Pros
  • I like the luck button (on my old BB I remaped the 
  • Love the auto focus camera: you can push the button (or touch the screen) and it focuses so when you take the picture it's a quick process (about a second)
  • Transfer of contact and settings was seamless from other BB

They need to fix
  • Sporadic menu drawing errors (ex, Facebook's submenu never looks quite right)
  • Browser isn't quite there yet (maybe I just need to get used to it)
  • Landscape suretype keyboard option
  • Stop letting applications control the type of keyboard (ex, Opra Mini doesn't use suretype)
  • Application store is down right embarrassing
  • A little disappointed my mail accounts didn't port over but that's due to switching providers

ToDo
  • Figure out why Goggle Maps isn't using the GPS (BB Maps does)
  • Move around icons (not a fan of default folders)
  • Look for some new applications
  • Make some calls on it
