I got mine day of release and it came in the "HTC Incredible" box before the rebranding. My Storm was also the one missing the sticker on the box. Both ordered online. The Storm what a joke of a phone, I shudder every time I think about it. Probably the worst phone ever produced.

Hopefully we can put to rest the whole "Verizon would never do that" argument now since several of us have clearly shown that they did. That doesn't mean that they will (I personally don't think they will) but we have to accept that it is at least possible.

@ Qazme actually I think the honor of the worst phone ever produced goes to the Motorola Q

A co-worker got a BB Storm at launch. I played with it for five minutes and that was plenty for me. I couldn't get over how slow that thing was. I mean slower than molasses in January slow.

Thank goodness for the DROID. Love at first sight.

That would have been the original .65 software build which was barely functional. About a week and a half alter they pushed .75 which improved things some (device was at least usable if you did a couple battery pulls a day) but yeah those were fun times LOL

Yeah for a few months the device screamed pretty hard if you started using the alternate builds you could find out there, strip down to only the things you needed etc. Of course the obligatory battery pulls still needed to happen, however it was a decent device at first.

Then it just got worse and worse and worse. Fortunately I stayed with it for only 9 months and bailed for a Droid Eris, the OG Droid etc. As far as the Moto Q I can't speak on that VZW, I can only speak on behalf of the original Moto Razr and the Storm. After those two phones I swore I would never compromise on a phone again. (Both of which were top of the line for Verizon at the time sadly)

Loved my q9m. Hated my Bb curve 8330. Bb messenger 5 should not have been pushed to that clunker.

Haha I actually won a Storm2. Fun times.

I was talking about the original Q. actually. I never owned one but I have heard enough horror stories

Yep I was there, every 12-14 days a new build would leak and we would all test writing ad infinum about what it fixed and what it broke. lol Good times!

I never had any issues with the Razr V3m I had or the RazrMax, personally.

Yep the original was a post I heard. But everyone I know who had a razor hated them. Believe it or not my fathers first smartphone was the storm. After the first week it lasted him two years no problems. But he also didn't install any apps.
