So now I'm getting a Curve in silver.

The curve isn't so bad.

The curve is a good phone. The storm really is bad if you can't make hybrid OSes to make it somewhat decent. It's a very odd phone, different phones work better with different OSes.

I hope they do a serious overhaul of the OS soon. Not only the Storm, but all Blackberry OS's. A guy at work got a Palm Pre and let me play around on it, and that things is flat out fucking impressive. If Palm can junk their god awful, piece of shit, garbage, shithole, asinine, horse shit, Palm OS and replace it with an incredibly intuitive, easy to use, and goddamned incredibly functional Web OS, RIM could do the same, especially on a phone like the Storm. Shit, put Web OS on the Storm 2 so I won't feel so bad when I swap over to a Web OS phone when it comes time to upgrade. Feels like I'm using a DOS phone in comparison now. Damn Pre spoiled me.

Can't speak for others, but with the exception of one or two of the betas, my phone hasn't locked or frozen since the .90. It's been pretty reliable in that regards, with each of the betas smoothing out those problems.

Gladiator, welcome to the site man.

What does memory leak actually mean?

Some programs or aspects of the OS drain your available memory when they don't close properly or hang up in the background. If it doesn't get fixed, the phone gets slow as fuck, your text messages get randomly deleted as the phone tries to free up memory, and the whole thing gets fucking goofy real quick. The quick fix is to pull the battery and let it do a reset, but on some OS releases, the problem springs up again within minutes. It's fucking annoying as shit.
