*BUZZZ* Thanks for playing. The other reason the Bold is faster is the Marvell processor that runs roughly 100MHz faster than the Storm. The Storm's Qualcomm 528MHz is bogged down by the new OS and all that touchscreen cutsie-pie goodness. I'm sure it will continue to get better as the code is optomized, but like I said... never to Bold speed as its developers do the same. Plus, that Bold processor is a beast. Rumors around those at RIM are that they are going to release a "storm v2" with a better CPU. With the backlash from 'berry fanatics about the Storms shortcommings I wouldn't be surprised if this turned out to be true.

If you think the Storm is quick or not laggy, try the Bold out for a week. Then you'll know how a phone should respond.

You havnt been reading. I HAVE USED THE BOLD. My dad has one and we traded for a few days to see the differences. They both have their ups and downs. Your just spewing specs, but have you acutally used them both. I have, and IMO they arnt that much different other than one has buttons.

I just wanted to update those who are interested. I have had the Bold for almost a month and still love it!! I bought a 4GB Micro SD card to load videos, pictures, music, etc. on. I found a free GPS Navigation software here http://www.amazegps.com and I even used a free Golf GPS program http://www.bbgpsgolf.com

It is a lot faster when on the internet than my old 8700 on the EDGE network.

Here are some pictures that I took with it. I think they turned out pretty good.
