And my Storm arrived this morning. Busy setting it up to my liking.
Initial impressions: Great build quality. Looks good. Touch screen is responsive enough (not as great as the Nexus 5, but 100x better than cheaper Android phones. Screen looks good. Was worried that the screen protector would feel cheap, but it feels good - fingers slide easily enough. Processor struggles under load - you can feel lags while the phone is downloading and installing apps and you're trying to set up other apps - but this is expected with the mid-range processor in the phone.
My concerns over the next few days will be how well dual sim works, pocketcasts works, and my usual phone usage works. Right now though I need to cut my sim card to size.
Update:
Cut my CellC sim down to fit in the nano tray making it sim 2 while my Afrihost data sim is sim 1. Dual sim works very well and I can force the data sim to 3g only via the testing menu. This may only be working because it is sim 1, I'm not sure and am not willing to test otherwise.
Pocket Casts has had a few strange glitches. But only when listening to podcasts via headphones. I'm hoping that this is nothing too worrisome. The phone's speaker is loud enough and works well enough for talk shows. Music may be a bit irritating over the speaker.
The camera may be 20mp, but the quality of the photos is pretty disappointing. Colours are okay, but image quality is not great. I've read that a camera update is coming soon. The camera also does not support any of the manual camera APIs. So no playing around with fun camera options.
