frh, I've had the storm now for 2 weeks and it's a great device! I was not expecting to like this device and had full intentions to return it when the 30day trial expired (I received this as a Chrsitmas gift I did not want to hurt her feelings.) What a mistake, now I'm sold on the Storm.
I was a huge fan of WM phones(i730), had mine close to 3 years, because of their third party support, touch screen features and rich features. But WM phones tend to do a great many things poorly.
This BB Storm doesn't do all of the things a WM phone can do, but it does them extremely well.
As for stability I'm wagering that the folks who are complaining are BB folks who are use to a solid product. And the storm has some issues I've got it to crash once and had to reboot twice because of some stress load I put it under. My WM phone I crashed much more.
My biggest grip with the Samsung was the screen quality, battery life, email capabilities and phone support.
These are non issues with the Storm. The battery life last all day even with heavy usage and hte screen is so bright I can read eBooks under direct sunlight.

I'll tell you there is no software for eBook that is better than MobiPocket + PocketPC. Mobipocket has done a fantastic job writing a eBook software for the PocketPC (WM) platform they have taken advantage of every feature the PocketPC provides. You can re-map you phone keys, just for that application. Annotation and bookmarks work great with a stylus and the sync software. I will truly miss this software on my storm, they are working on a storm version but I don't think it will be as nice as the PocketPC.
BTW this site has no problems posting links here I would like to see some of the links you mentioned
