Yeah, I thought it would be nice to get an iphone, but now I don't really care because I got everything I needed with the Storm and got to stay on the verizon network. I don't have to worry about cost like most people because I get a company/government discount. I will do a pros and cons from what I have observed from my buddies iphone.

Upgradable memory - Storm wins, mini SD card FTMFW

Copy and paste - Storm already has it

Push gmail - Storm wins again

Apps - iphone wins, but I have discovered I don't give a damn about these and don't even buy the iphone replica apps for the storm. Slacker/garmin/weatherbug is about all I use on a regular basis. Sorry I don't break out my storm when I want to level a picture or need urbanspoon to tell me where to eat or lose my car or need snow conditions or any of those other lame ass apps they advertise that don't actually even work where I live because I don't live in a big city.

music - they both play music, that's about all I care about in the functionality of this market...

removable battery - storm....apple and their retarded ways

computer/charging connector - storm, it has the now universally adopted micro usb

speed - iphone, storm rushed a OS built for another phone and has yet to release the first truly storm built OS

OS - iphone, same reason as above

screen - this is opinion, but I love the surepress, so I give it to Storm

business use - Storm, it's a fucking blackberry, iphone is a gadget toy

GPS use - Storm, garmin app is nice, has telenav even released theirs for iphone yet?

internet - they are all about the same to me, as long as I can pull up websites I'm good.

They make Urbanspoon for the Blackberry now. I put it on my Bold today. I think its a cool program. I'm not one for eating out or trying something new when it comes to restaurant but I'm excited about this one.

I also like Poynt.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT get the Verizon version of the HTC Touch Pro. It sucks donkey dong. I had to go back to an Altell version which is much better.

Also the verizon touch pro's gps is locked so no google maps with gps capability. They want u to pay $15 extra for their Vnav crap.


Upgradable memory - Storm wins, mini SD card FTMFW So does Touch Pro

Copy and paste - Storm already has it So does Touch Pro

Push gmail - Storm wins again not sure but i'm sure theirs an app for it

Apps - iphone wins, but I have discovered I don't give a damn about these and don't even buy the iphone replica apps for the storm. Slacker/garmin/weatherbug is about all I use on a regular basis. Sorry I don't break out my storm when I want to level a picture or need urbanspoon to tell me where to eat or lose my car or need snow conditions or any of those other lame ass apps they advertise that don't actually even work where I live because I don't live in a big city. Not as many but the useful ones count, not the zippo crap

music - they both play music, that's about all I care about in the functionality of this market... So does Touch Pro

removable battery - storm....apple and their retarded ways So does Touch Pro

computer/charging connector - storm, it has the now universally adopted micro usb So does Touch Pro

speed - iphone, storm rushed a OS built for another phone and has yet to release the first truly storm built OS No problem here

OS - iphone, same reason as above Touchflo is a lot better than the regular windows screen

screen - this is opinion, but I love the surepress, so I give it to Storm Small but I can see

business use - Storm, it's a fucking blackberry, iphone is a gadget toy Loaded with windows business apps

GPS use - Storm, garmin app is nice, has telenav even released theirs for iphone yet? Altell version unlocked, verizon locked, not sure on sprints/etc

internet - they are all about the same to me, as long as I can pull up websites I'm good. My non 3G touch pro out beats my cousins 3G iphone

Fuck Verizon, I had bad dealings with them and will be pissed if I ever have to go back. I'm curious to see how a company famous for crippling their phones can sell a smartphone without ripping me off every chance they get, remember, these are the people who tried to make you pay three times for ringtones.

My good friend works for Verzion Wireless, been there a long time. He told me don't expect Verizon to have iphone until 2011. He likes the Verizon Droid.

iPhone sucks cock and AT&T swallows. I REALLY wish I had not moved to my corporate phone plan and just sucked it up and paid for my bill on my own. I'm considering "losing" or "dropping" this POS and then getting my own phone on Verizon again.

I have a Blackberry Storm 2 (with Verizon)for work. I recently switched from a BB Curve (on Sprint) - I am not sure if it was just a junk phone, or my area, but it sucked balls.

I have been with Verizon since at least '03 with zero issues, with my personal phones (recently picked up a DROID).
