Day one review of Storm

Overall I really like the phone.  I still would like a week to give it my offical review but here are some quick day one notes:

Pros
  • I have the typing down (I'm still faster on my pearl)
  • Touch screen with click is nice
  • Screen is wonderful and video podcasts look great
  • Facebook reinstall fixed menu problem (I blame stupid appstore)
  • Voice quality is good and my old Bluetooth headset connected quickly
  • Easy to move icons around and customize it to your preferences

Cons
  • Still haven't got the browser down (zoom when I want to click or click on the wrong thing)
  • I miss the scroll ball
  • Takes to long to reboot (if you install something)
  • Flips to landscape to quick (Maybe I hold my BB to flat)
  • Same with my last blackberry - I feel like the mute button should also be a Silent or vibrate button that switches to configurable profile (top left)
  • I have answered the phone upside down when I'm using it in landscape mode (strange feeling)

Still need to figure out
  • Google maps still doesn't use GPS (works with NAV4ALL and BB Maps)
  • Need an app to easily upload video

Wish list
  • e-mail/messages in conversation (like g-mail or IM messages)
  • More app to work with new OS (bbPlaces and Qik don't work)
  • An application store that works and is up to date (version looks to control it 9)
