I wanted the storm to work (long time verizon customer and BB user) and I bought it twice. Once when it first came out and returned it. Again just recently after several updates and still could not get used to It. I finally broke down and bought the iphone from ATT and love this things. My ATT service is actually pretty good where I am too.

My iPhone completely replaced my Treo and more. Verizon ‘new every two’ worked fine once, but 3 yrs later they told me that it was only for the account holder, and not any second lines. I switched to ATT and now have the iPhone. The Blackberries do not sync our Exchange Calendar and Contacts [I was told that it would require some RIM software that costs around $20,000] but the iPhone does it all in an instant. Also, ATT customer service treated me much better than Verizon. Many more of my friends and our IT staff are getting them, but some are going to the Storm and the Bold.

Are you going to do a in-depth comparison soon?

I was wondering because most reviewers only do a brief two-day stint.

Looks at his Nokia E90 and smiles knowingly.

James, that knock at the front door is the intervention team: please let them in. ;-)

Happy Valentine’s Day.

Ugh! The Storm is so bad that RIM should be ashamed of itself. The reps at Verizon stores around here actually steer people away from it and I am told it has the greatest amount of returns of any BB device. I think that Bold however, is the best BB device to date. I returned my Storm for a Bold and have an iPhone too.

I have had one of these for a few months. It took a little getting used to and it still has a few things that I just don’t like but I am satisfied.

Of course it probably helps that my employer is footing the monthly bill (which is why I purchased this over the iPhone).

So much money. You must be paying almost $300 per month on network charges alone.
Are there no unlocked versions around? A person could soon make up the difference in device cost.
