I would not.
David Pogue likes it, but the big problems I had with the Blackberry Storm had to do with reliability of both the equipment and the synchronization software.
In a two year contract I went through four telephones, three Storms and a Storm 2. They would get harder and harder to use, and they would do inappropriate things when I punched a button.
I use Microsoft Outlook as my e-mail and calendar software on my laptop. The Blackberry synchronization software lost its ability to sync the calendar and then couldn't find contacts at all.in the last installation. Every time an upgrade was installed the software had to be reconfigured. As I remember, for example when getting a new laptop, the software was hard to find.
It was all a matter of my having to serve the telephone rather than of the telephone's serving me. Even when I served it, I could not get reliable use of it.
My Android telephone won't sync with Outlook either, a great disappointment, but mostly, not always, when I touch the screen it does what it is expected to do.
If I were buying a phone right now I would pick up a Windows 8 Nokia.
Being sort of in the market for a smart phone
re: market
Looks good
I would not.
which phone did you have?
A Motorola
When I had both my Blackberries, they synched perfectly with Outlook
I had a deteriorating experience
It looks great but I'll wait for the 2nd generation to see if I'll switch
