Well, I left my 6800 on after a fresh boot and after 2 days of just sitting it was down to 37%. The Storm was at 35% in the same time frame but with HEAVY usage. lol. I watched the entire "Jeff Dunham very special christmas special" and only used 25% of the battery. 1 hour 25 min run time. The battery is still coming up and getting better, and at this point I can say that it will go 2 to 3 days with average (for me) use without a charge. As the OS gets updated I'd expect to see it get better. atleast a little bit.

I guess it was a better transition from a Sidekick to a Storm then to a WM device for him since he really is not into phones like DEL30 is. Besides like weedahoe stated WM is NOT for everyone.

Kyle try to stay dry in your STORM!

Nah, there is no 1 great device. They all have their ups and downs, so I can't ever become a fanboy! lol. I think the Storm would be a little tricky for anyone who hasn't used a smarphone/PPC before. The options with BB are EVERYWHERE. not neatly catagorized like they are in WinMo. It took some getting used to for me, and I'm still learning, but its been fun exploring a new device.

Hopefully VZW will get its act together and put out a solid, uncrippled version of any device of the future generations.

i went from a 6800 to a storm. was planning on exchanging it for the omnia but so far im very happy. i liked the WM ALOT and it definetly has more options but the storm does all the things that i used MOST (<<< keyword) way better than my 6800 did, so i have kept it. i loved my 6800 but with the storm, im very happy with it

Lyle, have you found a way to properly lock that storm? on my buddies bbStorm, the hardware end button will shut off the phone even while "locked"

Maybe we just need an update to WM. Once that comes I think things will improve.

What OS is he running? .65 was shipped on the early ones and .75 was on mine. I Updated to the leaked .83 the second day I had the phone. When locked, clicking the screen does nothing, the 4 hardware buttons will light up the screen but tell you its locked, every other button is locked and hitting unlock is the only way to unlock now. I think I remember reading about that on crackberry and that either .75 or .83leaked fixes that problem.

I couldn't agree more. Its not that WM is a bad os, it just needs an overhaul.
