I recorded a few videos with mine earlier. Quality seems better than my old K800i that was also 3.2mp. But it's probably because it's a much bigger & clearer screen.
My battery has lasted about 7 hours so far on it's first charge but is now nearly flat. I've been watching vids on youtube and listening to music quite a lot though. I'm still very impressed with it and haven't had any issues yet.
BTW, bubblevaux or Robbo, how do install itunes? Or do I just connect the Storm up to my PC and it will automatically sync? Cheers

Just seen an advert in the local paper.
Says:
Unlimited txts, internet (im still presuming 500mb), 600mins
all for £35 a month?
Sound about right?
I also presume the txts wouldnt be "unlimited" too?

Yeah that's the deal I got. I think you need to go in store to get it though otherwise it's £40 a month.
I really like this phone now. I've got about 14GB of my itunes music on now and a couple of vids. Internet works very well and is very functional. I also find the typing to be easier than on the iphone using the "suretype" setting. All in all, a very good phone. Needs some better games though
The software update should clear up most of the issues people are having anyway hopefully.

Memory Cleaner lol - you got to love that a product like that is shipped. Its a bit like saying "Hi we can't code our apps to work cleanly so we will give you a program to clear up when its all gone a bit pete tong"
That said at least they have shipped it.
The pics look OK - nothing special IMO. I have seen equally good pics off other cameras - even the iPhone
Personally I would rather have a really good 2MP with top lense than a 5MP with a crap one

not entirely true
Unlimtied texts and unlimited data
However, if u regulkarly exceed 3k texts and 500MB then you may find you get charged but its not to say the 3,001th text will be charged as it won't

Review of the storm.
Their opinion and review is scarily close to what I predicted when we first found out it wasn't really a secret phone.
The groundbreaking click thing isn't really that good.

your funny. it comes with an application to assist the user to assign memory to more frequently used applications? and you think its a bad thing?
its like telling a car manufacturer to not produce vehicles with electronic fail safe or limp home modes.

tbh i havent read the review, have they set the touchscreen up, or just used it straight away?

They are tech experts that write a tech blog, they aren't just some random site, they've had to deal with and set up more than a phone.
It's the whole concept and the way it's just tacked onto the non-touch version of the OS, nothing to do with the way the screen is set up.
