Reviewer: Anne Smiley - Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK
Date: 1st Jan 2010

Firstly I find that the reception on the telephone is very poor even though this is a Vodafone contract & their website details the reception is very good this is not the case. Even when the shop contacted me to see how I was getting on they couldn't hear me! As a result of this the Wi-Fi connection will not work properly & will not allow me access to the Internet as a result. I am now onto my second Storm 2 within 2 weeks & both phones have frozen when trying to access the icons, needless to say the phone is going back yet again & hoping to change to the bold. Lovely design but not prepared to be in a 2 year contract & have a broken phone already don't know what it will be like in a year.
