Storm, lighting, crash... smartphones.. now with fried brains..

I don't think customers (developers/hackers, geeks/nerds, or consumers/corporate) mind a buggy device provided the impact is neglectible and the price was good. If you give a bunch of developers/hackers a good deal they'll be happy to work w/your buggy hardware and buggy SDK. Likewise, if the device still mostly works, geeks/nerds will be happy. Consumers and businesses... they want the thing to Just Work, and they're cool throwing some more money on that... at least, usually. Not sure nowadays with this economy.

I don't know where or how the Blackberry Storm is buggy. But I knew some details of the iPhone 3G. And those were irritating bugs.
