I was issued one of these Blackberry Storm phones by work. What a piece of crap. It would lose calibration every other day and I’d have to recalibrate it. I used it only as necessary as I had my own personal iPhone at the time. I just connected to mail on the iPhone and forwarded all the incoming calls because using old clunky (every button press was a “clunky” of the screen as you mentioned) sucked. As for tech I couldn’t do without- my first computer, a TRS-80 Model III and the Epson MX-80 I bought for it. Happy to say I still have both in working condition. The Epson just needed a ribbon. The TRS-80 needed a Rifa cap replaced. Good solid gear!
