Nice review +1 4 U.

Some short questions about it:

First, with the "clicking" screen, what eggsactlee is "clicking"? Does it use haptic respons and I actually feel a click-response? Is there a click sound? Or is the click just confirmation of position?

Also, the media player: seeing that it's simple in UI, what audio formats does it support by default? Particularly since your review was of the 755 and not the Centro, the Centro is of course the only one with PTD standard out of the box - the others have only standard PocketTunes, which of course only supports mp3, wav (uncom), and I think ogg? Does the storm support wma, m4a, aac, etc. - other better formats that are supported in the deluxe pTunes built-in to the Centro but need to be purchased on others - and what about streaming media?

The browser: does it support embedded flash video... or flash in general?

And are there any multitask changes with the storm compared to other BBs?

(More later if I think of more, tho likely not cause you gotta be kiddin me if you think I'd actually think for a second bout buyin one - HA!)

The screen actually has a button behind it and it is a physical click.

I'm not sure...I will convert some files and test it out. Do you have a site for streaming media that you could recommend for me to test using?

I will get back to you on the last two questions in a little bit.

The Storm supports MP3 and WAV, no WMA. I tried download a .PLS file from ShoutCast.com, but it gave me an unrecognized file error. The browser does not support Flash, but the built-in video player plays videos from http://m.youtube.com. Multitasking is pretty much the same, with the Switch Application option in the menu.

You kiddin me? Dag - thas even more of a dumb blonde than the "cryPhone" (borrowed from MDJ - I like iPhony)

of the virtual keyboards i've seen/used the storm's was the best but that said i need my phyiscal keyboard (sorry this is spinning into a topic on the comparison but hey y'all have the power to spin it so )  i've noticed in future and rumors a lot of people want no phyisical board but i think they are dead wrong.
@dickie glad to see my word is catching on

I agree, and I often find myself typing too fast for the Storm to handle (button behind screen doesn't get enough time to pop back up).

The main problem with touchscreen keyboards is that you don't get tactile feedback. I can dial on my Treo without looking (for the most part...), but not on the Storm.
